Reflection on Research Methods

The experience at the Botanical Garden was a really nice way of showing us how to go about research, and the ways that they have done it in the past. Going through all of the stations was very nice, having everybody’s opinon on all of the resarch methods. The research method that I feel would best fit my group is a “MyGuide to the Garden.” The reason I think this is because it is a portable way of learning about the history of enslavement at the botanical garden. People can choose to look at this if they want to, although we want everyone to look at it. Some other type of implementation will most likely be performed with my group, because I feel that just a guide will not be sufficient enough. I fell that a guidew would help our group a lot because of the portablilty and the accessability of the content. It will also be a hindeerance because not everyone has access to a phone or the internet.
