GTS Week 1 Practice A

After looking at my assignment from Project Management and the other assignments we worked on I remember that brainstorming was a huge factor in beginning any project. Being able to lay everything out you need to work on for your project will let you see on paper what needs to be done. As for me when I make a list of things I need to complete I often find room to add more that I think will improve the outcome of my project.

For my fairy tale assignment I plan to brainstorm and gather all information needed to complete my project so I can lay out a timeline of what I want to do. By doing this it will help me with time management which is a very important step when working on any project. I will have an idea of what needs to be done for each particular section and be able to put a guesstimate time limit so I know how much time I need to set aside to complete each project. It is very important as a professional to be able to meet deadlines and complete astounding professional work.

Another important detail is being creative, it is important to be able to open your mind and think of all possibilities when creating a project and can be vital to your success. You need to know how to plan, budget, and brainstorm to assure each and every project is completed on time and within the budget allowed. Going into this assignment I feel confident on the outcome with the knowledge I have gained from Project Management and other classes I have completed. Now it’s time to get to work and lay everything out so I can get started on the main parts of my project!

Week 4 Reflection: RISE Self-Evaluation

Hello Class,

I really enjoyed taking this class this month. The website we built was fun, but also had it’s frustrating times. I went into this assignment with a great attitude on how the outcome would be and it ended up turning out pretty good for the second website I have ever built. I believe going into everything you do with a good attitude will result in a better outcome. I need to still work on finding what works best for each individuals needs and the needs of the client. I feel I did everything that was asked by the client however, I wish I would’ve had a little more time to come up with some of my own ideas to present to the client to see how it would have worked for them and their needs on the website. I want to learn more about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I feel that having knowledge of making websites will strengthen my portfolio and needs of potential clients and employers. There are several different things I will be looking into further on our holiday breaks when I can sit down and focus only on the different things I want to learn. I think if I would have done some more research on other websites out there to get a feel for what other people are including on their websites I could have made a stronger website. In the future I think I will focus on looking on other websites that are similar to the clients and focus on the key points of the websites to get ideas to put together to make mine stronger. I will also sit down and make a blue print of what I know needs to be on it and suggestions of things I think will make the website even better than what the client is asking for. As for this being the first website I have worked on in over 13 years I think I did an overall good job and I am proud of the outcome. I appreciate all the feedback from the instructor and fellow students, I feel the feedback I got was good and helped me to strengthen my knowledge and ideas for upcoming websites.

Sincerely,

Mandee Rodriguez

Week 4 Reflection: Project Revision

Before

After

On my website I added a comment and contact box so I be able to obtain email addresses of the audience and I will be able to get their comments on the business and how they think were doing. I also added a Special Order box to the menu page so customers can order online and have everything made ahead of time so they only have to make one trip to the truck. On the contact page I added an email button so the potential/client can easily email the owner without having to go to their email and type the email address or copy and paste it into the email. I think the owner will be happy with the changes I have made to the website, as well as the clients. To check out the changes I have made please visit this link.
