My UWCSEA Learning Journey

Link my the app

What does it do?: It is a time organizing app that are organizes all the irregular meetings and activities. Also, it stores all the informations (Test score track, calendar, to do list and its due, teacher’s email, timetable) that it is useful in school.

Who it is useful for: It is useful for everyone who is studying in school. It is very useful for people who have a lot of things to do during their free time or people who are not good at organizing documents and time.

Why I made the app?: The reason why I wanted to make this app is because I always struggle organizing my schedule. Also, I thought it would be amazing if I have all the information in one app instead of a lot of different documents.

What was difficult?: It was hard to link the informations from other section of the document using relations because it was really complicated to do. I had to go through all the videos on YouTube and try various ways to find how to do it.

In my Digital Perspectives class, we made a digital book using the book that we made during English class.

The book is about a high school girl (16 years old) called Carmen learning the most important lesson of her life through a truly terrible day. The incident between her family, school teacher and her boyfriend made her learn the importance of normal life. This is a story for everyone but I will especially recommend it to people who is having trouble with family or friends and people who are bored with their lives.

I chose the development of video and video sharing for my topic.

I think media is not a new thing because there were many medias existed more than 1000 years. In the old days there were no cameras or videos so they had to tell people by people, send letters or make a monument. In the case of videos it started in 19th century. At the beginning, they took photos and connected to make videos which is a surprisingly high technology in 19th century.

from my topic, there were many things that I did not know and was surprised or interesting to know. First of all, I did not know that the first ever video camera was invented in a late 19th century which is amazing and this was a really good thing in the world war 2 for a memorial of who did what and what happened. Secondly, I did not know that instant camera was invented in 1981. In Japan, many generations and many people  still use it to take photo and have fun. I did know that my mom used to use it but I did not think it was that old. At last, researching this topic was really interesting because it made me think of how convenient this world is and made me thank my daily life full of technology and video cameras.

Since UWC have many activities and services, I want to get involved in many things at UWC.

First of all, I really want to get involve in performing arts related activities. There are many opportunities such as “culturama” “drama production” and so on. I started learning ballet when I was 5 and since then, I love performing on stage and entertaining. In my previous school, there were not many and also, they did not have a big stage like UWC does. I signed up for both culturama and “the heart of robin hood” which is a drama production for this year.

Secondly, I am eager to join services. I have never done many services in my life and i have thousands of opportunity in this school so I would like to be involved in it. Also, I am interested in medical jobs so I would like to at least get an idea of what it is like to work in a hospital or facilities like that.

Last but not least, I would like to be in the community of UWC, make new friends and have a nice high school life!
