Blog N°24 - Last Presentation Reflectio


GOODBYE

(1) Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
I am most proud of all of the research I was able to do on my topic. Research makes a big difference on how solid your presentation is and I would have been lost without all of the hard work, time, and effort, I put in to research checks. 

(2) Questions to Considera.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.
I would grade my presentation an AE for going in depth with each of my answers as well as having an engaging activity. Also, no one fell asleep during my presentation so I feel like that's a plus. My activity worked extremely well with my presentation and my hook activity correlated well with my answers.


b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

I worked extremely hard on my senior project. I put in so much time and effort into it. It really became something I learned a lot from and am genuinely passionate about. Therefore, I feel like my project deserves an AE as I went into depths of research and hours of mentorship to really explore my topic and enhance my experience. 


(3) What worked for you in your senior project?


Being passionate about my topic and actually wanting to research and go to mentorship. I didn't give up on my senior project I really tried to explore it fully.
(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?


I would have gone to mentorship more often than I did. I loved going, but I didn't always have the opportunity to.
(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.
My topic allowed me to find different skills that can lead me into many different career paths. I feel prepared and excited to start working on my college education. Talking to so many different educated people in the fashion industry strengthened my interpersonal skills and overall prepared me for real world networking and so on. I have many different options to choose from and I have never been more excited.

EXIT INTERVIEW

Please

(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?

EQ: How does social media influence fashion marketing?

Answer N°1 - Social media marketing grants access to accurate and invaluable data from loyal customers that brands can use to their advantage. 

Answer N°2-  Social media has created an opportunity for influencers to become one of the most influential forms of social media marketing.

Answer N°3 - Social media marketing has influenced and created new ways buyers to experience shopping. 

My best answer is my second answer. I am so mind blow by the amount of opportunities social media marketing has created in the fashion industry. It has transformed the industry from a hard to break into, closed off industry, to an inclusive industry that allows small brands to come up easier than in the last ten years. 

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

Throughout my research, I was most interested with influencers as a core marketing strategy. My research continuously suggested it was the best strategy for small business and  I love that anyone can make a name for themselves. Most people with social media accounts are exposed to this type of marketing strategy, whether they realize it or not. So I felt that it was the most relevant answer for my presentation audience demographic.  

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?

Senior year was a problem. It was hard to keep up with research checks along with other senior commitments. However, the research notebook is one of the most beneficial components of the senior project, that I forced myself to continue to sift through articles and information to really come to a strong and solid answer. 

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

Hope, Katie. "How Social Media Is Transforming the Fashion Industry." BBC News. The BBC, 5 Feb. 2016. Web. 3 Mar. 2016. 

This article did a good job of breaking down important aspects of influencer marketing, as well as why brands should be embracing this strategy. 

 Vorhaus, Julianna. "Learn How Social Influencers Are Changing the Fashion World." TapInfluence. TapInfluence, 22 Apr. 2015. Web. 25 Feb. 2016. 

This article was short, but very to the point. It made me want to do more research on why influencer marketing was working over different strategies. The information on this article is also very important in summarizing the influence these influencers have.
