Wrapping and Waving

So I’ve finally entered the last stage if the I-Search model, which is Developing a Final Project. I played with a lot of ways to present my information, but thought the best way would be through a slide show presentation. I wanted the information to be easily accessed, but I also wanted to include pictures. Since I didn’t want to do a full out paper, but just lay out quick facts, I thought the slide show would be interesting and fun. I decided to play around with new technology while I was at it and decided to use the new slide show/powerpoint via Google Docs. Using my previous map and outline, the slide show was easy to create.

Another reason why I wanted to use Google Docs it I wanted it to be easily accessed by anyone. Being able to create and present this information online with a few clicks of a button was great. I really enjoyed working on this project. I never knew how extensive the history of women tattoos was and now that it is finally done I do feel a real sense of accomplishment.

I really think that wrapping and waving go hand in hand. Now that I’m done, I can’t wait to show others my work. With it being OL I can simply email the link to my family and friends. I’ve been talking this project up for weeks with friends and co-works and hope that everyone else enjoys it as much as I did. With the many women that I know who have tattoos, I think they may fine it as interesting as I do. We should no longer be afraid of the stigmas attached to tattoos, but have fun in having something done that use to mainly belong to women; a way of reclaiming our heritage, so to speak.

My final project can be found in the below link.
