This week in Mrs. Gallagher's class we worked in groups of our projects. This had a great effected my views of my topic of Labor vs Big Business. One way it effected my view was my group members brought new ideas and new perspectives to the table that I had not thought about. Another way my group members expanded my understanding of my topic was each of us had different Enduring Understandings, giving us all a deeper insight into the topic. Also having group members allowed my group to nattiw down our key Terms so that we only had the terns that are most significant to our topic. Finally having group members allowed for us to collaborate and discuss our different opinions on things like Key Terms and Enduring Understandings, for example in my group we argued a lot over what we should use for our Enduring Understandings. Whether or not to include information about the inventions of the time or to go into more depth of the economic scale and consolidation aspect of the topic. All in all having group members was very helpful and it expanded my knowledge of the topic Labor vs Big Business.
To utilize technology in this week's class we used an app called videolicious. This app allowed us to record our own voices over our pictures. This deepend not only our understanding, but also anyone who watches it. It deepens both ours and theirs because the viewer isn't just looking at a wall of text but also a primary source image that goes along with the topic. Using this app deepend our understanding of the topic because videolicious brought the whole project together and showed all the aspects of the enduring Understandings. All in all the videolicious had a great impact on both the creator and viewer.
