Workshop 1 

The traffic light exercise that we did in the lecture for multimedia development gave me a new perspective on how to look at objects that we see regularly every day and to actually think about how they work the topic of how traffic lights work is something that I would not be familiar with but I do see a a pattern in how the lights work. I also did not know how to create a flow chart as I have never done one before but one of the people I was in a group with knew how to do flow charts so I kind of understood how they worked. I enjoyed working in a group because I learned new things and since I didn't really understand how flow charts worked I had help to figure it out and I enjoyed interacting with people instead of figuring it out by myself. I also found out what the pattern was of the traffic lights which was the top and bottom lights would be red and the left and right would be green and the pattern would change every few minutes I also got to hear peoples perspective of how traffic lights work which I found interesting because different groups had different answers and one group did it from the person driving the cars point of view which I found interesting and another group had a theory that there was pressure plates to know when a car is at the traffic lights so the lights would then know when to change color. I learned a lot from this task such as how we see objects everyday but do not know how they actually work and I also learned that traffic lights have a pattern and also how to create a flow chart I also liked that we got to interact as a class instead of just reading notes of the board and in my opinion it helps me learn and understand things better when working in a group rather than working by myself.
