Fun in the Sun, Our Education is Number One!
"It's that time already! Now that you're done with high school, you must get ready to enter the professional world. As graduation approaches, a final decision must be made: "What do I want to do with my life?" A college education is becoming more valuable to employers, and every year, Florida Gulf Coast University guides students down the path of prosperity. Located in southwest Florida, FGCU opened its doors in 1997, and since then, has been a growing university, providing a variety of undergraduate programs and new opportunities for students of all ages. As you are contemplating which college to attend for your professional studies, we encourage you to take a look at what FGCU has to offer."Click here to continue the tour...
Above is an excerpt from my digital gallery assignment in Dr. Baylen's class. On our first day of class, Dr. Baylen divided his students into small groups and provided each group with a digital camera. We then searched the campus for any landmarks, animals, or examples of student life that would make a good snapshot; however, this was only the beginning of the project. Following this, we were to create a twenty-page Florida Gulf Coast University brochure intended to attract graduating high school students from all over the country. At times, it was difficult for me to conjure up ideas, but I found an effective aide. To conduct this assignment, I utilized FGCU's online campus tour and uncovered various tidbits of school facts. For example, I was able to learn that FGCU has over six thousand students! I didn't realize how much our school has grown since I became a student. Needless to say, this was an enormous task, but in the end, it familiarized me with my peers and managed to teach me more about my school.

Everyone:
Thank you for sharing your supportive comments and experiences. I found Daniela’s comment about “edible reinforcers” to be funny. For some reason when I read this I thought of the students being like alligators, with their jaws wide open for food. Ha ha ha. In my opinion it seems many of Dr. Baylen’s students chose to post this particular activity. I wonder if it’s because we all worked so hard on it. I still believe this was one of our most time consuming projects. We all must have felt really proud and thankful when we put the last picture on the 20th page and finished the concluding paragraph. I think everyone did great!
