Collaboration
Optional: Explain your answer.
When you are confined to one classroom full of students, everyone tends to work with the same partner every time. For this reason, it is a nice change of pace to be exposed to other choices of partners. Also, in the real world you do not work with the same people every time.
I think that it is a valuable thing to be able to work with people that you are not use to working with. It makes you see things differently.

Optional: Explain your answer.
Yes, the teachers were very helpful, and very understandable given the circumstances. My partner and I also split the work so it went smoothly.

Presentation
Optional: Explain your answer.
I would have emphasized on more things to make the presentation flow more.
We focused a lot more on the presentation of the piktochart rather than that of the actual screen-cast and "kinda winged it" there near the end :)

Web Tools
What advice would you give to students who might use these tools in the future?
I would tell them to rehearse a couple different times and to keep practicing with MoveNote until them get it to where it needs to be.
Be confident and explore the tools on alone for a while to see if you can get spacing etc. down, have fun (it's supposed to be creative)
Cover up the camera. Make sure to very closely watch tutorials on how to use them. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Only have one person using a computer with Piktochart pulled up at one time. It will NOT save.
Make sure you find enough information and know what you are talking about.

Final Thoughts
Reflect on the project as a whole. What would you change? What did you really enjoy? What do you want your teachers to know?
In the future, a time limit should be added so students can have an idea of how much they should be explaining during the screencast. Overall the project was very beneficial and it shed light on the election that some students, otherwise, would have remained uninformed about. I enjoyed working with partners from the other AP class and I wouldn't mind doing another project in this format.
I would of give an example of a good picto chart to base on and restrict us on the screen cast a little bit i had a little too much fun with that I liked working with Gage we both have skills that the other is not quite as strong in, and we both are in a sport so we did the equal amount of work, I hate when i am with someone with a ton of time and I hate when i can't offer as much when i don't have as much time to give as the other just do what you do
This project was awesome. The opportunity to work with someone from the other AP class was great. I really liked working on the Piktochart because it allowed me to put all my main points on it, then I could elaborate while I was presenting or talking in the screen cast. Also, the design of the Piktochart was really neat. The only thing I would like to change about the project is the camera setting on Move Note. It was annoying trying to avoid the camera and it was a distraction on some of the projects. Overall, this was an awesome project and I would love to have this type of project again.
I enjoyed this project. I know that a lot of groups had trouble working with new people, but it was good for me to be able to work with somebody I get along with and work well with. I enjoyed working with someone new since our class is so small and we have the same partners each time. It was also nice to have a short break from quizzes and lectures from the textbook. I also enjoyed learning a little bit about politics because I previously didn't know very much about it.
