11/05/2026Tabitha Woods

This map depicts the graduation rates of the schools within the high schools of the San Diego Unified School District. Schools without applicable data have been removed from this interactive map. https://www.google.com/maps/about/mymaps/ By clicking on each point, you can view the school, its address, and the graduation rate based on how many high school diplomas were handed out to students. I chose SDUSD because of the large amounts of high schools within it. This infographic depicts the graduation rates within high schools of SDUSD, with a majority of high schools having graduation rates of over 90%. I chose to do a bar graph to give a clear side-by-side comparison of rates and to easily see what schools have drastically smaller graduation rates.

Goals for the Semester

09/09/2026Tabitha Woods

This semester I hope to connect my experience in print journalism to the lessons we learn in digital journalism and understand the expanding world of media as a whole. I am looking forward to compiling my experience that I have gathered from my two years writing at SDSU into a portfolio and being able to analyze my experience to the current journalism workforce. Much of the work I have been practicing is about how to collect information, and I’ve spent these preliminary years of my career understanding how to approach a topic or a question about one. Those skills have led me to understand how companies and the formula of production controls and dictates what my position in the journalism field might look like. I hope that this class really helps me understand how to navigate those companies and external forces that will be the avenues in which my journalistic ideas walk upon. I want to work merging my ideas with contemporary technology, emerging trends and engaging my audience well and effectively. By doing this I aim to understand how to create engaging story articles, creative and new layouts and conduct new research. I want to learn from my past story-telling experiences and build upon what I could not do before, and learn about how to make journalism newer and more exciting to engage the community and inform others.
