Process Paper: School District Funding

So with this project I feel as though my group got off to a slow start. We didn't really know what angle we wanted to tackle this from or who our target audience should be and how we would set everything up. We decided it was best to focus on the lack of resources in public schools and where those resources are getting sent to. We realized that a lot of money that would have gone to Public Schools is getting sent to Charter Schools, and we also realized that the state of PA doesn't get as much money as another state such as Wyoming. I know that I am capable of working very well with a lot of technical things so that is the aspect I took in my approach to helping my group get this done. I handled the twitter page and the website. I designed the website to have Philly's colors because I thought it was patriotic and it worked well. I think that Roberto started to take the lead in the beginning because I know I needed a few days to get on board because I didn't fully understand the assignment at first and because I am a bit of a procrastinator. Sarah Charlotte took a role of our artist and worked well with photoshop and was able to express our theme well. Roberto also came up with the majority of the script for the video. I assisted him with filming it. I had difficulty getting followers for the Twitter page because many people that I tried to follow wouldn't follow back and also because its hard to get a new name out there. Robert actually told me about a site that will help me get my name out there and get followers so that people will learn about the what we have to say. Khari continually said he was going to make fact cards, but after three classes he only had about 5 or 6. I was hoping that I would be able to put the fact cards onto the twitter page so that I could spread some knowledge but I don't really have enough to go down that lane. The website went pretty well I didn't have any problems with making it and the setup and design. I think I should have shown more initiative in this project because I could have helped Roberto with more things. Roberto and I were kind of the back bones for this project. Him more than me however.
