Name of Assignment:Acellus Physics Subject: Physics Facilitator/Teacher: Ms.Alexander
Description of Work/Assignment: I had to watch acellus videos, take practice quizzes on them, and then take a test.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? I think this project addresses self-directional skills because it requires me to do it on my own time. I only had a deadline for the final finish date, which is at the end of the quarter, so it really relied on me touse my time wisely and not procrastinate.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I am most proud of my grade, many people have failed this class in the past and I’m happy that I'm doing as much as I can to get my grade up.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I improved on my 21st century skills because in my last acellus courses I would just wait until the last minute and do all the videos in the week it’s due. The problem with that here was that it required a lot more practical application of physics rather than just the use of facts.
What was most difficult about completing this task? The most difficult thing about this was finding the motivation to do it. It's so much easier to relax and watch tv rather than to painstakingly watch videos and quiz, then video, then quiz.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? If I could do this over I would finish it earlier, it would be simpler and easier for me to have finished earlier.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? This is different from anything else I have used in the past. It calls upon my algebra and geometry skills.
How can you apply this to future learning? I can apply this into future learning by using the practical application into more science classes as well as for scheduling and good use of time.
