Web 2.0 Project- Johnnie Hillwalker's Kyoto Walking Tour

This assignment was truly a test of my patience and motivation. It took me nearly a week and a half to fully read through the instructions and understand what they meant. I usually like to be innovative and unique in my work, but this is one time where I had to wait to see what my peers had done to understand how to execute my project.

My Web 2.0 project is of the walking tour I took in the city of Kyoto, Japan. Johnnie Hillwalker's Johnnie Kyoto Walking Tour is one of the most esteemed and unique tours available. I created a video incorporating many of the stops along the tour and created a poll as an interaction method to see if people would be interested in taking the tour after seeing the video.

Through this project, I learned the importance of drafting a solid framework, but being flexible to work around any changes if needed. My storyboard incorporated a few things that I did not have images of, so I had to use images of other stops instead. This is very important in the business world because there is rarely, if ever, a situation with perfect information. Resources and information change quickly and you have to work with what is available to you.

From my peer's interactions with my my Web 2.0 tool, I believe that my photos thoroughly conveyed the uniqueness and quality of the Johnnie Hillwalker tour. Every peer who used the poll responded that they would like to participate in it if given the opportunity.

Would you want to go on Johnnie Hillwalker's tour of Kyoto, Japan?
