Final Summative Product!

Hi everyone, my partner Parmis and I have finished our final summative product from our inquiry process. We have created a whiteboard animation using Canva Premium. We used an app extension on Canva called Speed Painter to create these animations.

I hope you enjoy watching it as we reflect on our inquiry process and explore our main question: How does online technology influence self-diagnosis?

While creating our final product, we encountered some issues with the app extension. To overcome these challenges, we spent time exploring tutorials on YouTube and even TikTok to learn the process. Overall, I really enjoyed working on this project. Even when things didn’t go smoothly at first, it forced us to learn new skills and find creative ways to work through problems.
