                       DAY 1 of website making: collecting all the information for the website 

     Today's task was exactly the same as the first task of video making. I collected all the information I needed. The basic topics I needed to research about, were:  General information about the hospital, information about the doctors working at the hospital, the different sections of the hospital, the outreach activity, corneal transplants and the map of the hospital. The website needs to contain detailed and clear information which will teach the reader a lot about the hospital. The video only contained facts but the website is going to have paragraphs of information which will educate the reader about the hospital. I finished the task successfully today and took much less time than what I had allotted during the planning stage. I had allotted 9th and 10th of October, 4 hours per day, for this task. I finished this task within 4 hours in one day. This means that I can rest tomorrow and have a break from create stage. I also have another option which is to work ahead of plan. I am going to opt for the first option because, I have constantly been working on my create stage, since day 1! I really feel that I deserve a break which will bring back my mood and energy. I need a day to relax and this is a very good opportunity and I going to grab it. Back to today's task; I worked very hard today and used a wide range of sources to get my information. I mainly used my parents and the my previous research work that I had used for my video. In my previous research, almost all the information was there because all I had to do was to elaborate and explain more on the summarized information. Remember, the information in the video is  SUMMARY of the information on the website. But not all the information was available there, so I had to take assistance from my parents because they know everything about the hospital. I used the hospital brochure for some points, and used the hospital's Facebook page for some more. These were the sources I used to get my information for the website. I had fun and this time, I did not collect the information mechanically, I made sure that I read the information carefully and understand it because the main aim of making the website is for me to learn about the hospital and to learn how websites and videos are made. I finished my work quickly because I very well knew what I was supposed to do as I had just done it weeks ago! I learnt a lot today!
