Reflections on Project
Positive GenYES Memories
The best parts of Gen Y were that I learned so much about technology. I learned a lot about PowerPoint and because of this, I have done many projects at home with it, including a PowerPoint presentation for my mom for Mother's Day. I also enjoyed spending time with my partner-teacher, Ms. Kessler. It has been such a wonderful experience!
Negative GenYES Memories
The hardest part of Gen Y was this PORT. Not only did I have to get my PowerPoint done on time, but I had to get my PORT done as well. I had such a good time in Gen Y though, that I didn't mind the PORT too much.
