WBL Working Together

            Over this last week we have developed a newsletter that goes over all of what we have been doing and learning about in the work based learning course. Each student was assigned to a different part where they would be responsible for completing a page of the newsletter and then they would submit it to me. My part in the newsletter is more complicated then explicitly stated I was responsible for making the cover letter. By taking this Job I was also implicitly assigned the job as the coordinator, earlier when I was talking about each of the class member submitting the pages they were assigned, to me, this is due to me being the coordinator, it’s my responsibility to organize all these pages in a nice and formal order, not only that but I took upon the liberty of making a table of content for our viewers so they can find specific information easier.

            Being the coordinator, and responsible for one of the page with the newsletter taught me a valuable lesson in effectively communicating to the entire group, at first I was having problem getting everyone to send me the information for the student description. This led me to sending a formal e-mail to everyone.

Dear Loyal Followers and Potential Employers;

Hello again I have returned to inform you of my latest task and achievements in my Work Based Learning class. Recently, we have started to film an intro video for a YouTube channel that we will be starting in the future. The video is supposed to demonstrate my professionalism and develop my professional posture. In the video I talk about my high school career and my plan for the future. To be brief I go over my focus elective, business management; my plan after high school, going to The University of Tennessee, Knoxville; and what career I want to pursue after college. After college I want to be a video game designer and developed. I think I did an excellent job on my videos but I need to work on my posture and I have to edit the footage, but besides that I have done a splendid job.

After that we started to develop a digital portfolio, mine is kind of bare at the moment because I don’t have any of my achievement as data or a digital copy of them, but I feel like my portfolio will be will filled out after I am able to scan some of my certifications, besides that I have uploaded my contact information and my resume and I need to get more work experience that way I can fill out the portfolio with more work related information. Despite not having all the information that I need for a full and glamour’s portfolio the first website that we used to develop our digital portfolio cost six dollars a week to making it look good so we are going to find a new website to help us develop our digital portfolio.
