I definitely would want to be my own boss

Advantages and disadvantage of being your own boss or working for someone else.......

Advantages of being my own boss:
1. All profit belongs to me.
2. If my business does well it has the potential to expand.
3. I would be able to give good customer service to my clients.
4. It will be easy to manage since all decision making is left to me.

Disadvantages of being my own boss:
1. Start up capital will be difficult to obtain.
2. If not managed properly, all profits may be put back into the business to keep it running.
3. I would have to work long hours, since all responsibilities will be left to me.


Advantages of working for someone else:
1. Vacation is given
2. A salary is paid
3. Benefits are given such as holidays
4. You get the opportunity to meet new people

Disadvantages of working for someone else:

Wiki Natural fibers

Natural Fibershttps://naturalfibers02.wikispaces.com/


Hey Guys , check out my site on natural fibers




Wikis can be exceptional tools used in the classroom as a mean of getting students more involved in the lesson. It could be used to get feedback on the lesson from the students, as well as a sharing tool of notes for the students. The wiki can also be used as a "'Hall of fame  achievement site"' where only the students who performed above the standard will be placed on the site, as a motivation.



Reflection -7

For portfolio piece#7, I produced  wiki, from wikki spaces.com. There were quite a number of challenges faced in creating this site, all mainly revolving around the formatting of the pages, and the limited templates available. . The Formatting issues were solved through basically doing much tampering and issistance from friends, but mainly tampering.This piece could have been improved if more information on a whole was added, making it more attractive, as well as the templates.
In all the experience was not bad.

Fibers Movie



Using movie maker in the classroom will be used to engage students who might not otherwise read course material and/or help students to better understand course material by being able to relate that material to a medium with which they are more familiar. The movie maker can also facilitate the visual learners, in terms of instruction.



Reflections
For portfolio piece No.6, I produced a short video on natural fibers; from their source to fabrics. It was specifically created to be an introduction to my lesson on natural fibers where I showed a lot of pictures on the four main sources: cotton, linen, sheep, and silk, and how they were produced. This piece will also be used by students in aid of completing a homework assignment and therefore is also being utilized as a means of assessment. There were quite a few challenges faced in creating this video. Finding an appropriate audio was a bit difficult and adding transitions and effects to each picture was quite timely. There was also great difficulty in getting the video uploaded to the blog. It took days, hours, minutes and patience, but all in all I got through after much fiddling and tampering, and assistance from friends. This video could have been improved if better effects were available in windows movie maker that would have allowed a more smooth flow between transitioning pictures.
