This was my first week at PEDN and I found out that they had changed locations from Ntinda to Kiwatule. It doesn't matter. I usually start at 9 am and end at 3pm and on Monday, I found out that the coming Saturday was a youth venture event at Hill preparatory school in Naguru. Martin my supervisor started me with designing the register sheet for the day and the certificates too. I did 2 of them and they choose one. Of course it needed a bit of tweaking since this was my first time to design a certificate and I learnt that it was not very difficult. It was just like designing the yearbook pages and the advertisement for the events. On Tuesday, I was told to input metadata options so that major search sites could recognise the pages on the internet with those key words. It took me longer than it should due to the slow internet connection but I finished it the next day. From this I learnt that key words are helpful to spread awareness as it helps the sites be located and that new things are very diverse.
On Thursday, I was told to take the Aflateen website challenges but the internet connection was bad so it wasn't possible but I saw that through technology, the spread of financial education can be accessed by this generation who are mainly using the internet for knowledge and fun. The challenges looked fun and you won badges and certificated plus reflections are needed for what you have learnt. Today, I am responsible for looking for videos to show for the Saturday youth venture and downloading them so that they could be ready by tomorrow. This week has been a great learning experience as I did things that I have never done before and hope to continue this for the next few weeks.
