Free Inquiry topic – Skateboarding and Skateboard films and photos

For my free inquiry project I have decided to pursue my love for skateboarding in a different way. Since starting I have always enjoyed watching skate parts and looking at skate photos but have not tried to pursue this area myself until recently. With the ability too begin a project of my choosing in this class it seemed like a perfect time to start something I’ve wanted to for a long time.

Throughout the year I am hopping to take a lot of videos and photos of my friends and create skateboard parts with them. I am hopping to learn a lot about video and photo editing throughout this project and then be able to continue this passion throughout my life.

I also plan to continue to watch skate parts to find more ideas and to influence my videos and photos from professionals. My end goal that will hopefully be accomplished is too create a whole skate movie with my friends that i can be very proud about.

Weekly Reflection 1

My experience with social media has been quite large with great influence on my life. At the moment I am trying to use as little social media as possible. I only use Instagram for posting and seeing what my friends are up too and Facebook for keeping up with my family and Facebook marketplace. At points in my life I was using a lot more social media then I am currently before I decided I would try to stay off of most platforms for my own mental health. For this class I have recently got Pinterest which I have heard can be really helpful for classroom ideas. I’m hopping I can leverage my Pinterest to help me create a better environment and class for my future students.

Due to social media being a very important aspect of this class and very important within modern and a teachers life I have had to think about what I would like to do with my personal accounts. I have came to the decision that I would like to keep my personal accounts on private only accepting people that I know personally as I would like to post with more freedom then having a public account would allow me too. I have not decided yet if I want to make a public account centered around teaching and believe that is a choice I will make once I’m in the classroom and can better understand how that would work.
