And that's a wrap.....

Composing my Twitterive was a terrible experience. I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do or where I wanted to begin this assignment. I looked at previous students’ websites that had been posted from semesters before mine, but I could not get an idea that I felt was sufficient enough for this project. As time went on and I started hearing my classmates’ ideas, it made me even more frustrated because I still had nothing.
Research
Before I started anything with creating my Twitterive, I first looked through a bunch of the previous websites that students created prior to my class. I thought it would give me a good place to start and hope for an idea, well, it didn’t. It seemed like weeks went by before I had an idea. Once I had the idea I wanted to do my project on, it seemed somewhat easier. I began searching through pictures and looking at various websites for information that I could incorporate with my Twitterive.

This semester I was introduced to Weebly. At first it was a little confusing to navigate through. Once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed using this site. It would have helped me out a lot with other classes prior to this course. I liked this site so much, I actually used it for my Collaborative research Project and for another assignment in another course.

With this assignment I began to work with Alexis. We started bouncing ideas off each other as to what we were thinking about doing this project on. We wrote down a few ideas for potential topics and decided that if we had any other ideas that we would text each other. The next day I got a text message from Alexis that said, “Let’s do Meatless Monday, there is a ton of information that we can use to follow up with Food Inc.”
Research
Once we established out topic it became very easy. We divided our work up between us. We each needed to find a celebrity who has joined the Meatless Monday movement, a sample lesson for an elementary school grade level, we had to find kid-friendly meatless recipes, schools who have implemented Meatless Monday, along with back round information, videos and pictures.

For this project our group decided to create our own Weebly site. There was so much information that we wanted to incorporate within this topic that we felt the best idea to create everything and make it useful would be Weebly. I first wanted to get an idea of what Meatless Monday consisted of, and it brought me to a website that lead me to mostly every direction and a ton of useful information. I was guided to pictures, videos, and information that I was unaware of. This assignment was a great assignment that I had a lot of fun creating. I feel that our Weebly can be used in the future and by teachers who want to get started on implementing Meatless Monday’s within their classroom.
