coast salish

 

My awareness of coast salish art has changed after learning more about the meanings behind some of the artwork created by coast salish people. Also actually creating a version of this art has made me realize how important it is to recognize and embrace other cultures.

Block 4 stream video

One of the core competencies that I used during the assignment was creating and developing ideas. I chose this as it relates to the subject because in order to write the script we had to think creatively. When writing, we had to be creative to keep the script original.

One thing that I learned from using stream is how there is multiple ways to import and export videos and the different ways you can edit, splice and cut videos using Clipchamp. Aside from that, I didn’t learn much from using stream as it is very similar to other video platforms but its built in to 365 making it easier to use for school.

I can’t see myself using stream for other classes or for outside of school work as it is not as well made as some other platforms and it is very slow when it comes to uploading and downloading videos. Another thing I believe could be improved is the Clipchamp integration as you need to reupload the video to Clipchamp then have to edit the video then export it back into stream

Take Your Kid To Work

For take your kid to work day, I went to my dads office in downtown and learned about what his company does. Throughout the day we did a tour where we got to see the office, we did some interactive activities to learn about the different roles within the company and we got to see what the company does.

 

 

  1. What did you hear, see, smell, and feel in the work environment on Nov. 6th? Use details, 

I heard people talking during their breaks. Keyboard clicking, and typical office noises. There was a lot of bright lights that were a bit disorienting because they felt almost blinding, there were lots of background noises that came from lots of different things like people talking or the cars outside or even the occasional siren.

  1. What about the environment would motivate you to wake up every day to attend work? Why?

The people at the office were all very friendly and inviting. It felt like everyone was passionate about what they do and why they do it and they take the time out of their day to help you if you had a problem or didn’t understand how to do something.

  1. What about the work environment would discourage you from waking up every day to attend work? Why?

Waking up at 5 in the morning and having to commute over an hour each way. There was multiple crackheads and homeless people around the area that made me feel unsafe and a little paranoid because there was so much going on all at once it was almost overwhelming. 

  1. What is ONE thing you found interesting about your workplace visit? Why?  How complex some if the roles at my dad’s work were and what they do as a company. Also how much the roles at the company vary and how they all work together to complete whatever the task at hand may be.
