Hello everybody! Today I will be sharing a presentation on Polynomials to help give a better understanding to the polynomials unit, unit 4. Enjoy!

1. Connecting Core Competencies

I feel as though I used my critical thinking throughout this assignment, specifically my critiquing and analyzing skills during this assignment because I had to go through all of the information provided to me about unit 4 and look online to decide what information would be important enough to include in my presentation because my goal was a fluid presentation that didn’t drag on. I also had to analyze specific pieces of information to cut down on my descriptions to be able to present the most understandable presentation. I chose this core competency because in the past, I have had difficulty deciding what information was necessary. Therefore,  this core competency had definitely been an area of growth for me.

2. Learning from Digital Tools

Using Canva throughout this assignment has felt like a blessing to me. I am not the most familiar with the website but I was shocked on how easy it was to develop my ideas. Canva felt very fluid in the sense that almost anything was possible, whether it being adding designs to my presentation or inserting extra details such as the voice recording. The whole process felt natural to me. The only thing I would change about Canva is to be a bit more precise with the results from my searches to help with the general fluidity of the website. But other than that, Canva is a stellar website that I would definitely recommend using!

3. Application in Other Courses

I can definitely see myself using Canva in other courses. Personally, I have found Canva to be more helpful and precise with my work than other websites and/ or apps such as Powerpoint. I can see this being beneficial in other courses such as science because I can create multiple slides that can function as zooming into a part of a bigger picture, such as an organism I could be analyzing for a science project. In the future, I could see Canva replacing other websites and/ or apps for schools as well.
