Video reminder (from week 9 overview and 27 May post)
All videos should be posted to this blog with the YouTube clip playable (embedded). The blog post that contains your YouTube embed on your own blog should include this info:

• The blog post should contain (a) one to two paragraphs with a succinct summary of the story and explanation your goals; note any reporting challenges and (b) one to two paragraphs explaining how well you met your goals, what you learned doing this project, and what you would do differently if you had a chance to redo this assignment. This is the SAME info that you need to include with the blog post that contains your final personal project!
