I think I did exactly what I wanted to with my blog and with my final product. I feel that I got the message that I wanted across. As I said, I really do not like math at all, but I really like baseball. After starting to watch baseball, I wanted to learn how all of the statistics were calculated, and once I figured it out I started to enjoy math a little bit. I also noticed that a big problem among high school students is a general disdain for math because they do not see any real world application for what they are learning. After finding my own interest in math, and seeing this problem, I decided that I wanted to create an interesting resource for students to be able to learn more about baseball, prediction, math, and math driven careers. If I were to further develop my website, I would include more of the "higher level" statistics as well as more box scores and game predictions.
As far as the presentation went, I was happy with how I presented, but I am unsure of how I felt about the showcase. I definitely prefer just standing up in front of everyone and presenting. I think it makes it a lot easier to convey what I want people to hear, and I only have to say it once. It also allows for a forum where people may feel more open to ask questions to clarify things or to dig deeper into my project. I also feel like it might have been a little more manageable that way. Overall though, I really liked my presentation and from what I could tell, there were a lot of people who were interested in my final product. So, I might just keep it going!
