Veteran Project Reflection

  • What is the most important thing you learned in this project? About what these Veterans today are doing for the world today (my veteran speaks at schools about his experiences) 
  • What do you wish you had spent more time on or done differently? The research itself, but the website was a little plain and reading through the interview I had found myself needing to reread and reread time and time again. So, I did not get all the information I wanted to. 
  • What was the least enjoyable part about doing this project? Like I said previously, reading that transcript trying to pick it apart was very difficult. There was a lot to read and I just could not focus. 
  • How could I(the teacher) change this project to make it better? It was an okay project, normally I get excited doing projects for history, this one was difficult and it just wasn't for me I don't think there is much of anything you could've done to make it better, it was more about the website and how it was organized.

  1. I think it is really cool that you did the Veteran project. I was thinking about doing this one as well. I can only imagine how amazing it would be to hear the veteran speak at schools!

  2. I agree, I didn't like the website set up and had the problems you had, also.

  3. The website isn't the greatest, but it is meant to be presented as a datebase. I hope that I gave enough of a demo in class and the PPT to help support you. Kayci did have a good veteran in that he visits schools. Sadly we are losing many WWII vets and they are not in abundance as they once were. Would you like if I brought a speaker to our class? I have someone in mind to speak about Vietnam.
