Blog #4: Presentation Reflection

Because of my first interview, I understand more about the topic that I'm suppose to talk about. It made it easier for me to explain my topic. For example, when I differentiate nursing home and youth center. They understood the difference once i asked them at the conclusion of my presentation. They raised and answered without doubting. Which surprised me because I thought they won't understand my explanation. My simple and straight forward explanations because without that, I doubt they will comprehend what I was saying. The most challenging thing to do is trying not to get nervous while explaining and also to get everyone's attention. Because once my nervousness kicks in, I won't be able to talk or I panic. Though I was nervous, I finished my presentation and I got my audience attention. ^^

Blog # 3: Senior Project Presentation 1

My objective is to make an activity plan with the class. I will try conducting what an Activity coordinator does when they plan their activities with the seniors. Making the audience understand that most of the Activity coordinators do is based from what everyone likes or decided.

Step 1: I will be putting the audience in groups. Then I will make them decide what there top three hobbies or activities that they really like to do.

Step 2: Once I listed every single hobbies or activities of the group, we start voting.

Step 3: After getting the top three activities or hobbies we as a whole, we then plan at what time of the day and how many hours do we plan to spend on all those three activities or hobbies. Then I as activity coordinator write it down in the board or chart.

Step 4: After that, I will explain to the audience that what we just did is what Activity coordinators do. I will also explain about what exactly activity coordinators do and why it’s important.

Step 5: I will show the audience my poster of a planned activities for the week. Just like the once you can see from the activities calendar or bulletin board.

Step 6: I will pick 3 random people from the audience and ask what they learned from my presentation and if they need clarifications they can also ask it at that time.

Blog # 2 :Interview Check

I'm scheduled to interview Rosa, one of the activity coordinators in Inland Valley Care and Rehabilitation Center, this Monday. Although after two weeks of doing some research, talking to some one that actually works as activity coordinator is better and something new. Because of that, I plan to add some questions such as: What made you pick this job?, What makes your job different from any other jobs in medical field?, Are you enjoying your job? This would also help me see her point of view of her job.

Blog # 1: Senior Project Topic

My topic is "Health Care: Activity Coordinator ". I picked it personally because I wanted to take career that is related to medical field. I also wanted to try a different branch in medical field which got me the idea of working in a facility like my dad. I wanted a fun and helpful way to help the patients. After doing some research on jobs that were in the facility, the one that took my interest is activity coordinator’s job. My goal is to explore the health care facility and to determine whether working in facility and being an activity coordinator will be suited for me.
