This was by far one of the toughest courses I have taken in college, but I made it through. Some days were so frustrating trying to figure out how to navigate through the technology. I did learn a lot from this class and I’am satisfied with my grade because I worked hard for it. Before taking this course I didn’t know much about technology and using computers other than the internet and word documents. From this class I learned the struggles women in the S.T.E.M. field continue to experience all the time. I realized how much society relies on technology in their everyday life. I learned how to make a blog, edit it, add images, add hyperlinks. Getting through this course was tough, but I’m proud of myself I did. Thank you for this term have a great summer.

I think companies should work more on helping washing machines to not affect the environment so much in a negative way. They should still be meant to help us but at the same time shouldn’t effect the environment so much as far as energy and water supply. The hardest part of the project was finding the proper research, but it ended up working out. Right now washing machines are always in demand so the marketing and sales aspect of it is booming. My greatest dreams in life would be to travel the world for one whole year. Make a difference in someone or some family less fortunate than me life. I hope to one day become a pediatric nurse and own my own clinic and make a difference in children’s life.

So far from my research I have learned a lot about the history of the washing machine. I have had trouble finding different sections of the research that is required. In the next week for my final project I hope to find more research on the timeline and social factors of washing machines. This project has consumed a lot of time but yet still missing major sections, it has been frustrating I do hope to fill in the blanks in the next week.

I chose to research the washing machine how it originated and how it has developed over time. One thing that led me to choose this for my topic is the fact that from the time I was little until now washing machines have developed so much. I feel like it is an appliance that has kept up with society and their needs since it was first introduced. Unlike my first project I have found some good sources especially on the history of the washing machine. I think this project will be easier for me in the sense of finding research because that is what I struggled with on the first project.

I had trouble with uploading the media I used in my paper, but eventually I figured it out. Overall the project was a lot of work but it feels great to finally get it done. Other than the intense research I enjoyed this project.I especially liked the person I picked Erna was a very inspirational woman I loved that about her. I’m starting to catch on to the blog and figuring out how things work even if I need to re read the directions a few times.

As a child I was raised as the oldest of five children so we always had to share our toys. Growing up we had more legos than one could imagine. I enjoyed building legos and trying to form figures and shapes. I was very particular about what color legos I used I preferred girl colors like pink and purple.

I logged into my google account clicked on the news and clicked on the link technology I felt like it was most appropriate for the class. I then logged into my blog under widgets I dragged RSS over to the right on the sidebar and pasted the link I had copied from my google account. I then created a title similar to the class and chose to display five items at a time. I clicked save and went to my home page of my blog to view it and make sure it came out right. I enjoyed doing this assignment I learn something new in this class every week and it really gives me confidence on my potential skills with technology.
