Final Reflection

I've learned a lot throughout the 20% project process. At the beginning stages of the project, I went into it with excitement and interest because it is one of my many hobbies. The desire to learn for me heightens when it's about something that I love. The only information I knew about yoga is the information I learned throughout the classes I've taken and the experiences I've had with it. One of the biggest learning takeaways occurred in the beginning stages of this project because we had to come up with a driving question. It incorporated the idea of critical thinking by starting with one thought and advancing that thought into a problem and the critical part comes from developing a solution or an answer. I learned to not focus on myself because we had to make the decision of choosing our target audience. I chose middle-aged adults because that particular age group sparked my interest when I took a class taught by these middle-aged adults who looked extremely fit. How are they so fit? What are the different exercises that strengthen their upper body and lower body? Do they come across any physical problems? These were several questions I asked myself to get to my final driving question. I learned a lot through intense research via search engines, like Google. The most memorable learning experience I had occurred during the moments leading up to the presentation week. It was about analyzing my audience and how to present my topic in the most retainable yet interesting manner in order for my audience to learn from my project. Throughout all my research, it was about using the most straightforward yet interesting information to display on my website. I ended up creating a Weebly which is a website creation tool. Some of my difficulties, like I said previously, occurred at the beginning stages when I was coming up with my driving question. Additionally, I came across a challenge when I was creating my website and figuring out what was important to put on the site in terms of my audience. After the showcase, I think my product was received in a positive way because I felt as though I taught my audience something new which is what I felt was my overall goal for this 20% project. Here is my final product for my 20% project:
