Week 7

After getting our results form the students who have taken the survey, we where pleased to know that 14 people have volunteered to get interviewed. Although only a few responded to my email to clarify that they still want to do it, but for those who have replied to my email I asked them when they would be available. Though we are still going to follow Ms.Ruger's advice which is to stay patient and wait for these students to respond to my email. Today we interviewed Kristy and she answered a lot of questions about how she deals with stress from school work and how she deals with her relationships. After Alex sends me the video I will edit it and add multiple of people in one video, but I will also divide each video by the type of stress they talk about. Within these videos they will be giving teenagers advice on how to deal with all the type of stress and also give an example on how they deal with it themselves.

Here is a screenshot from the data we obtained from our survey.

Week 6

Today we finished the last touches to our survey and posted it on our website. Our English teacher Mr.Lee, had his fourth and fifth period take the survey, which is going to really help with the data we need to make a graph and post on our website. Mr.Lee also suggested that next week we share our survey to our third period class, which I'm sure we will do. With the data on our surveys we will be able to use that data to help us write an article for our website. Our website is not fully developed yet, though we are planning to do some research on recipes and more about how teens could stay fit. We are going share our website to our classmates once our website is fully developed. I plan to take pictures of people while working, of food  from the recipes, and some of my teenage friends to make my website a bit more interesting and unique.

Week 5

This week we started creating a survey that consists of ten questions. This survey is being designed to get feedback from students asking about what causes them stress, about their eating habits, and about how they tend to stay fit. We are discussing how we are going to give these surveys to students and also which students to give them to. We're thinking maybe we might ask our English teacher Mr.Lee, if he could pass out these surveys to his students. Therefor, we'll be able to not only have feedback from juniors but also from sophomores. Throughout our group we shared ideas on how to spread our website. For example, we'll start telling our friends to check out our website so they could tell us what they think and what they would suggest we could change or fix. We are planning to record more interviews  of people to upload to our website. We also need to find more topics to write about or to research about to post on our website that could be useful for teenagers. Here is a link to the first interview we have done. Here Mario Hernandez answers all the question we have asked him about how he stays fit while in school.http://youtu.be/JNXyMk4JtVs

Week 4

Last week I edited  Mario Hernandez's interview on how he stays fit while dealing with school work, but I ended up not including Andrew's video, because it didn't come out in good quality as i had wanted, because you could hear the wind in the background and could barley even hear his voice. Though I may ask to record him again for the 3rd time. This week I'm going to upload a video to my YouTube account so then i could add the web address to my website. Sadly my group hasn't cooperated as much as I wanted them to. They haven't been using any of the resource I have offered them to make their  part of their work easier. Therefore, I'm going to tell my group to do some research every other week now, because we all have other class work to do and we'll be able to do it in the weekend. We have planned to do more interviews from teachers and how they survived college, their eating habits while on college, and what they would recommend. Bellow is a snapshot of Mario's interview on how he stays fit.

Week 3

October 9, 2013
My group and I met up on Friday at the library to interview Andrew it didn't go as well as we expected. We got distracted and we didn't have much time to video tape him. So we decided that today we were going to re-due it as well as also interview  Mario Hernandez with a video camera with a better quality today. It went pretty well today. I think they did very well in the interview. This month we are going to interview more high school students as well as college students. We are also going to interview our English teacher Mr,Lee on how he dealt with stress in college and how he stays fit. This week I'm going to edit the videos once Alex sends them to me and ill post it on our website.On our Google docs page I've suggested a few topics in which my group could do their research on. (which is shown below) I tried to make it as easy and understandable for them. As you can see we've also already chosen each of our topics today.

Week 2

Today i met up with my group. I got an idea of sharing a Google docs with my group for everyone to type in their research. Since only one person can edit our website a time. So now that I've discussed this with my group members we are now going to write our research on a Google docs and they'll tell me when they want their work published. After when they finish their research for that week I'll edit it in the website for them. Therefor, now it'll be easier for everyone to save their work and we could all work on our website equally instead of having to wait for each person to log out of the website. Also Alex, Nadia, Andrew, and i decided that on Friday we  are going to interview Andrew. Alex will be bringing her camera and Nadia and i will be asking him the questions.We are going to ask him how he stays fit, about his diet, and also ask him what machinery he uses at the gym. After this I'm going to edit  the video into the website in the "interview section" shown below.

Week 1

September 25, 2013
Me and my group (Nadia, Alexandra,& Andrew) have decided to make a website for teenagers that want to become more fit or that want to turn their lives into a healthier life style. This website will have a series of recipes, work outs, information on how to deal with stress, show them  some study tips etc. This website will inform students how they could lose weight the healthy way and show them a healthier life style. I've recently learned how to make a website. I'm currently editing the website and doing research about why teenagers gain weight due to stress in high school and college/university. Today I showed the rest of my group how to edit the website and we agreed what sections each of us are going to work on. We decided that we are each going to do some research weekly and post it on each of our sections in the website. Shown below is a screenshot of our website in progress. Also this is the link to our website, teen fitness website .
