Learning Reflection week 7

 Learning Reflection week 7

Our question: What is the most beneficial way of making power for Otaki?

I'm in a group with Jayden.S, Zion.T, David.D, and Lyla.K.

1. What have you achieved/learned/found out since your last post?

I caught up with everything I missed last week.We now have a really good resource website (a reliable one) which told us the average power cost in our region and the rest of the country. We have done slides on solar power, wind power, and hydro power giving information about them and how much they cost etc.

2. How effectively have you used your time this week?

Somewhat effectively. We have mainly been doing individual work this week.

3. How have you contributed to your group’s progress?

Like I said,we've been doing more individual work this week.

4. Glows: something that is going well in your project:

That we're all caught up with everything and we have good questions

5. Grows: Something you need to work on:

Answering those questions

6. Where could you get help with this? 

Teachers and Google

7. What are the next steps for your project?

Answering our questions. We have to answer 3 questions, technically 4, such as: why would ('nt) this work? Where can we put it? What is the cheapest/most expensive? And our original question.

We're doing a project at Otaki College called Power to the People. It is about sustainable sources of energy and electricity.  I'm in a group with Jayden.S,  David.D, Zion.T, and Lyla.K! Our question is What is the most beneficial way to create power for Otaki? This means what is the most sustainable, cheapest and more. I was here for week five but away for all of week 6.

1. What have you achieved/learned/found out since your last post?

We learned about solar power, hydro power, geothermal power, wind power, nuclear power and why they would or wouldn't work.

2. How effectively have you used your time this week?

We were able to start and complete 6 slides, so yes, I would say that we used our time effectively.
