Jobs Research

For my research, I looked up
Music Educator
Nurse
Orthodontist
Librarian
Pharmasist

In the United States, the average income for each job is...
Music Educator- $70,450
Nurse- $67,930
Orthodontist- $186,320
Librarian- $57,190
Pharmasist- $114,950

In Michigan, the average income for each job is...
Music Educator- $49,600
Nurse- $25,190
Orthodontist- $245,690
Librarian- $52,870
Pharmasist- $113,100

In most cases, the income in Michigan was considerably less than the income for the United States.

Reflection

Digital Story Reflection

1. I enjoyed putting the movie together the most. Although it was interesting learning all of the information and pictures I needed for my project, adding the music, and recording and adding the narations and making a finished project was what I enjoyed the most.

2. Because I researched a minor inventor for my project instead of doing a bucket list, most of my project were new things I had learned. I knew who Tesla was, about his fued with Edison, and about some of his inventions, but I didn't know about his home and family and death.

3. Yes, Tesla was an important inventor and he's been mentioned in Foundations In Physics, and will be mentioned in future science and possible history classes. It will be a good thing to have some background information on him and his inventions for those classes.

4. Although I liked the project, this wouldn't be something I would use for any personal use.

5. The only problem I had with this project was accidentally losing picture files from moving them, but I solved that problem easily.

6. I enjoyed this project, it was fairly easy, and taught me many things about Nikola Tesla, and how to use movie maker and audacity.
