Blog Post #1 Development Stage

Currently, have spoken with my instructor to present ideas on where I will be completing my practicum. The current challenge is deciding whether to complete my internship at my place of work or go outside the work area to complete my professional internship. In speaking with the instructor, provided excellent advice to try to finish my internship within my department. Notably, presented with the opportunity to work with the fingerprint examiner who is teaching fingerprints this year at a university in Montgomery, AL. In showing the course of action needed to complete my practicum application, the examiner came up with the idea of assisting her with creating a presentation that can be displayed in her class when she teaches about the A.F.I.X database.  The teacher wants a virtual video produced by the fingerprint office and embed various snapshots of the fingerprint process.  She needs a visual to go along with her discussion related to the real world of fingerprints. I have spent over approximately 2 hours in completing this task. Now, I have learned to set up meetings with potential professionals in their respective fields for guidance and support. Learned to collaborate with the instructor and find out how to address the needs of the requester. Lastly, learned how to present previous professional work portfolios to showcase how the presentation can be developed with various web 2.0 tools.
