My refections

For the multimodal podcast I chose to do theories of child development. Quite frankly I was rather bored with the motorcycle safety idea, an idea can only temporarily keep my interest. The audience I chose for this work was anyone who was planning on becoming a parent as well as new parents, even parents who already have children could find an interest in this piece because they are able to see how their children have already grown and help to give advise to new parents. Although my podcast slide show is almost 2 minutes over time, I think that is the aspect of this project that I am most proud of. I feel that there is no logical way to make it shorter without possibly taking out important vital information. I believe that in that 6 minutes and 40 seconds there is a lot to learn.
I believe that if I had more time I would have tried to include more about development of children, seeing as though child development is such a vast category to talk about. I would have liked to research how different family settings affect a child's development. Like for those children who have had to deal with divorce, loss of a parent or guardian, or those who were adopted. Or I would have liked to take a look at what some developmental abnormalities are and how they progress. I feel that if we had more time to work on this project there could have been a lot more into my webtext.
I chose the links for parent awareness and planning purposes. I felt that the preparing for teen years was adequate because those years are inevitable and cannot just be skipped over for a parent. I looked at my extra readings as what would I like to have as a parent all in one page about child development to help me to answer any questions I may have. Questions I wish could have had answered to help others out. I believe that my multimodal webtext can answer just about any question one might have and if the articles I chose cannot help then the sites that I got them from can at least lead someone in the right direction.
All in all I am satisfied with the way my webtext turned out. I don't have many worries for the way that it is written, except for those that are grammatical. I believe that I touched on all of the requirements for the project. If I had been more technically inclined or had more access to a computer with these programs on them then I could have had a more visually interesting page.
