I believe that the skills and knowledge that I gained this year in World History were very interesting and valuable to me now and in the future. It is very important that people today understand how we got to where we are, which I think we achieved with all the content we were taught. Not only did we learn a lot of useful information about the past and how it applies to now, but we also learned many skills that I feel will be useful in the future. Learning to work with photoshop and Illustrator are two skills that I think I was able to perfect throughout this year after using them in a number of projects such as the iLeader project and other in-class presentations. I can see myself using my newly obtained skills in the future as many classes require projects involving media portions. Another skill that I feel was very useful and will continue to prove itself useful is the P.E.E.L. paragraph format. I believe it helped me to keep my paragraph forthright without getting sidetracked to subtopics. All in all, I believe that this course provided me with many useful skills.
Some topics that I found interesting were guns, germs, and steel which covered geographical advantages and world wars I and II. I found it interesting to compare and contrast what materials and resources different places had access to around the world and how that affected their development and evolution. Learning about the World Wars helped me to get a better understanding of what causes major conflicts around the world. These topics could also directly relate to my Kahiau project focusing on quality education in the sense that some places with access to more modern and higher end technologies especially nowadays can provide better education for their people. World War I and II also relate to my Kahiau project because it provides us with evidence that if there is global conflicts, all of the focus is shifted there and suddenly, education becomes less of a priority.
