Project Web 2.0 Tools Website

It was hard working for $7.25 an hour. It was humbling. After graduating high school in 1992, I landed a job working for RPS making $13 an hour. Almost 20 years later and I find myself mopping floors and cleaning bathrooms for minimum wage.
Please visit the website to see my story and take the survey.
Description of interaction method: I created a short survey to encourage viewers to share a few personal facts so that I can tally up statistics of the participants and see how their experiences compare to mine.
So far I have had three responses and they all had worked for minimum wage in their teenage years. One submission expressed happiness at working for minimum wage because it was her first job.
I learned it was fairly easy to put together a professional looking website in a relatively short amount of time. In working to compose a flash website and put together a short survey to complete the assignment, I was able to realize my limitations and potential. The finished product was not nearly what I had initially envisioned, but the quality and standard of the finished product was very high and I was happy with it. I look forward to designing more websites in the future.
I was a little surprised when I watched my colleagues videos and saw how most were entirely composed of personal photos. It made me feel like my project was lacking in that one area.
