Celeberties problem cause more excitement towards the public rather than the good things they do. It reveals that the celeberties are no better than criminals, it creates more gossipe on the daily streets of an everyday town and it makes more drama than what might be true. Although some of the stpries you hear might not be truthful it is very much exciting than hearing a pop singer helped a cat off a tree.

Evaluation

INVESTIGATE
I rate my self a 5 for Investigate. I rate myself this because I think I cold have looked deeper into each tool that I rated. I also could have rated the tools on more levels.


DESIGN
I rate myself a 6 for design. I rated myself this because I think that I did my very best on thinking of what I wanted,. And if it explained the Design Cycle clearly and accurately.


PLAN
I rate myself a 6 on plan. I rated myself this because I explained what I wanted clearly and descriptive. I made sure that I said what every part of the design cycle is. I also made sure it related to real life and not just in the classroom.


CREATE
I rate myself a 5 on create. I rated myself this because even though I worked my hardest the create is a little bit sketchy and I'm not sure that the viewer would see my handwork in my end product. 


EVALUATE
I rate myself a 5 for evaluation. I rated myself this because I told the truth on what I think of my work. I know that this is about honesty, this part of the design cycle, and won't help if I lie to myself about my ratting.

IA PART 2

By learning and understanding the design cycle in class I can go out and teach others who do not understand it aswell. It could help them become a larger sucsess and come up with more thought out ideas than they had before. My projects can become better by having more time and less destractions around me. This might have a huge difference in my work. I learned that I like to finish things at my highest preformance. I didn't know that about myself until now, I will continue to do things at my highest preformance level. I would rate my project at a 8 out of 10. Only because it is a good piece of work that i am proud of and worked hard at, yet I don't think others would see my hard work I put into it. I would make up different design plans and do a different type of technique to express and teach the design cycle rather than doing it on Flipbook again.

Questions n.n







10. Write a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it.
Formulate a Design Specification
*I am going to make a Flipbook to help better explain what the design cycle is and a fun and simple way to explain it to the 6th graders.

11. What are the requirements for this assignment? 
*To be able to explain the design cycle, know the design cycle, and show the design cycle in complete detail.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment?
*The only limitation that we have is that the presentation has to be at least 2 minutes long. Also it has to explain the design cycle steps and has to be created on Flipbook. Also it can't be to distracting and gets straight to the point. It has to be simple for the 6th graders to understand.

13. How will you "test" your project?
*To survey the 6th graders on how well they thought your project explain to them the design cycle and if it was entertaining or not. The survey will contain questions such as describe the four steps of the design cycle. Also they would answer if it was entertaining or not and if it was simple to understand. The survey will have 20 various questions of this types of questions and if they get more than 70% right (15 out of 20) then that means that my project was a succsess!

Summary;)

The problem we have to do is to explain to a 6th grader about the design cycle. This would help them by realizing that there is a format and process to do things like when you're going to create something like; a website, project, or something else for the public eye. We had to investigate two ways that we could of done our project. One was flipbook the other was comicbook. These two websites both make a cartoon and we had to rate them on what they showed such as simpicity or options. After that we brianstormed three 3 idea that we had in our head. We had to describe the three idea and post them on our blog.  I picked Flipbook and a brainstorm idea. I am ready to go and design my brainstorm.

page2- he brainstorms all different flavors for the new jellybean that he think would be good.
page3- he tastes them and creates a scoring of the rating he thought they tasted the best.
page4- he then picks the best flavor (Coca-Cola) and gives out free samples of how the public thought of his creation.
page5- the coca-cola jellybean is now a new flavor of JellyBelly.


which one i choose:
I choose design 2 because i thought that it was the one that described the design cycle the best and is the one who the 6th graders might enjoy, and relate to the most. Therefore, that is the reason I choose Design 2 to do on Flipbook.

Comicbook:




Measurement
Score (1-5)
Simplicity
3
Options
4
Enjoyment
2
Total
9



I gave Comicbook a 3 for simplicity because it was simple enough to do without direction but every now and then i had a few questions of how to do certian things. I sometimes got confused and had to undo a lot of things because i messed up on them or i did it wrong.


I gave Comicbook a 4 for options because it had more options than Flipbook, but it didn't have that many, but it still had a varity of options therefore you could do multipul ideas as you liked with no restrictiond because you had the iteams to do it.


I gave Comic book a 2 for enjoyment because it wasn't as fun as i would of liked but it wasn't as boring as reading a textbook would of been. I enjoied Flipbook a lot more than i did Comicbook, because i thought that i could do Flipbook for fun rather than just project and things of that nature.




In conclusion, i decided to pick Flipbook as the website i will design my project with.
FlipBook:


Measurement
Scale (1-5)
Simplicity
5
Options
2
Enjoyment
4
Total
11

















I gave Flipbook a 5 for simplicity beacause anyone with common sence would be able to create a good and well thought out cartoon without any direction. I belive that anyone would be able to use this website and have fun at doing it as well. It doesn't over whealm you with technical words that you do not understand an have to go to their help like just to have a bit of fun or do a project.


I gave Flipbook a 2 for options because it didn't have as many options, as far as; colors, shape tools, stapmsand/or ablility to uplaod your own music or sound. I thought it would have made my flipbook a much greater sucsess if it had on or more of these options avalable.


I gave Flipbook a 5 for enjoment beacause even though it was used for a project i still thought it was very fun and i even did a few flipbooks for fun on my down time. Even some of my friends in the other computer class who arn't doing the same assignment agreed that it was very enjoyable and they would do it themselves.

Day 2 investigation reflection

Today i researched flipbook and comic masters. Flipbook I found to be simpler and more of what i wanted, which is to make a cartoon rather than a comic. I decided to use flipbook for my project because it is more fun to use and i understand how to do it.  The comic strip i beive is more of a reading type that i can do with pen and paper, but flipbook its like a telivison show that you can watch on tv, or a comercial. I think it would be more entertaining to watch t=someting educational than to read something educational.
