Name of Assignment: H.A.R.F. Website Subject: Community Engagement Facilitator/Teacher: Ms. Ford
Description of Work/Assignment: In this assignment we were supposed to assist the Hawaii Animal Rescue Foundation (H.A.R.F.). We could have made an educational video for the elementary school children, work on one of their social media pages, or creating a cart for Stewie the two-legged dog. My group ended up helping their education page on their website. We had a meeting with one of the co-founders of H.A.R.F. and told her some tips about how she could make the page more attractive and accessible.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? The 21st Century Skill that this assignment addresses is Finance, Economic, and Business Literacy. We had a meeting with one of the co-founders of H.A.R.F. and engaged in our environment. in addition to that, we helped them with their education programs, therefore their business.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I'm most proud of how we overcame the complete confusion that we were addressed with within this project. When the member of H.A.R.F. that we were initially working with ended up leaving
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I improved on my 21st skill of Finance, Economic, and Business Literacy by helping H.A.R.F. and communicating with my group. We had to work around complications and had a meeting where we discussed what we did and what more we can do.
What was most difficult about completing this task? The confusion about this task is what the confusion that occurred. At first, we made a whole redesign of the H.A.R.F. website, then the co-founder told us that they didn't want that so we had to redesign just the educational page.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? We could have improved this work by making the website more detailed and add more information if we could have gotten it. If I were to do this again I would be emailing H.A.R.F. more about what specifically they wanted because it got a little muddled and was overall confusing.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? Last year for our exhibition we made a website, and for many years at this school we have been making websites for our SLCs.
How can you apply this to future learning? I can apply this to future learning for our future SLCs.
