Hello Peers!
HERE is a link to my draft of my QRG
Remember that this is a draft and I still have a far ways to go before I get to my final project. The last page is not completed and still requires a lot of work and refinement. I appreciate any feedback that you may have especially on the form of the QRG. I will continue working hard on this QRG and also will listen to any possible Peer Reviews.

Editorial Report 15b
Almost there!
This class brought me into many unfamiliar situations that I was not ready for. The main and first unfamiliar situation that I faced was Google Blogger. I had never blogged a day in my life and had absolutely no idea where to begin. The idea of creating blogs for my content seemed so vague to me and I did not know what or how much information to include. I struggled with how long my blogs should be, how they should be structured, and how well the writing needed to be for them. At first in the blogs I was writing at the highest quality as if I were writing an academic essay every time I made a blog. I had no idea how to put a picture in, how to cite it, how to make a good title for a blog, how to have a sentence that pulled the audience it. It was all so foreign to me but I had to figure out a way. Overtime the blogs became easier and I got into a good rhythm when making them.
Another unfamiliar situations was the tasks for the blogs. One specific example was finding the academic journal when I had never been in the library due to study rooms and had never looked at any upper level academic journals before.
My conclusion will tie all these concepts together to show a struggle that everyone can relate with. All of these different topics combine to create the biggest hardships that I had with this class. The conclusion will also relate with the audience that all the blogs and projects are nearly over and we can be proud of the work that we have completed.\

This course has been a journey. Not only did I expand my knowledge in many different topics and especially in my field of study. I expanded my work ethic, improved my lifestyle, and became a better student overall.
I have yet to completely master time management but I definitely have greatly improved every aspect of my time management skills and decreased my procrastination habits due to in part to the rigor of this class and the time commitment that was needed to succeed. Had I not changed my time management I would not have done well in this class and very well may not have passed the class in its entirety because the time would have caught up to me and I would have not finished all the projects.

Making it all Better
The next struggle when it came to learning new technology was the video essay. I have never created a video essay in my life and had no idea where to begin. I spent so much time struggling with the mental barrier that was the daunting task of having to create a video essay. I had not the slightest idea what program I would use to edit my video, where I would get my video clips from, where I would get audio from, and what content I would create in my video. When it comes to creating videos I am one of the least creative people that I have ever met. After overcoming the fear of creating a video however I was able to work my way through it and figure out how to successfully create a video essay.

For this class I had to work in two different mediums that I had never experienced in my academic career and these were a podcast and a video essay. My very first project was a podcast and I had no idea what to do at the start. Luckily I am very familiar with technology and a quick learner as I worked in the Geek Squad fixing computers throughout most of high school. I found the program audacity was on of the most popular programs and downloaded it then played around. After messing around with the program for a little bit I was able to make a podcast easily. Then I already had a quality microphone to create the project and made a podcast that I am very proud of.The next struggle when it came to learning new technology was the video essay.

When it comes to creating videos I am the least creative person that I have ever met. After overcoming the fear of creating a video however I was able to work my way through it and figure out how to successfully create a video essay. I struggled through these creative blocks and made a video that I was very proud of and even watched it through probably hundreds of times just enjoying the content and especially enjoying the music that I put in it.
I found the program Audacity was one of the most popular programs and downloaded it then played around. After messing around with the program for a little bit I was able to make a podcast easily. Then I already had a quality microphone to create the project and made a podcast that I am very proud of. I learned and adapted quickly to the new technology needed to make a podcast.

Peer Review Jake Gyles
The rough draft for Jake can be found HERE
I think that overall you have a great video! I enjoy how you are talking throughout the entire video and have pictures that are interesting and keep the viewer watching. Another thing that I enjoy is how you put text over the videos while you talked which helped in following your ideas. One thing I would change is I would add more pictures of your blog work. Additionally I would talk about each individual project and genre. This would help guide you in your overview of the year. Showing an example of each would help the viewers relate and understand what your projects are. Overall you are off to a good start and I am excited to see the final project!

Peer Review for Ben Meyer
Doing all it takes
Content Suggestion:
I believe that Ben has some amazing ideas for his project and for the creation of his video. One thing that I do love is the idea of making the introduction similar to a bedtime story with Ben sitting by a fire as this will add comedy to the video and keep the viewers involved. I like how Ben is going to introduce himself in third person, taking away personal bias. Ben is going to do an amazing job on this project and I am confident that his beautiful soul will create a beautiful and amazing project because Ben never does anything less.

The Beginning of the End
Section from Outline:
Opening Section: Introduction to my writing process and how I have grown through the class through my three previous projects. I am going to touch on my skills in time management, learning new technology, and adapting to unfamiliar situations.Adaptation of Outline Item:
For this part of my QRG I plan to include a link to my very first blog as if to show the beginning of my journey through this class. I will have a picture of the Google Blogger to give people a sentiment of the blogs and the work that we all shared. Finally I will pick a good relate able font for the entire QRG.
