Feb. 22nd

Today Analysa & I completely finished our imovie & uploaded it on to itunes. We have done a lot & both of us are proud of our end product. Although we did not get to video tape ourselves for this project we still were able to make a good project without it. Now the only thing left to do is to combine our videos so that we can make a 2 minute video.

Feb. 15th

Today me and Analysa made real progress in our move. I believe that all we need left in our imovie is the music and some minor adjustments. Today we demonstrated communication much better then another day during our process of create. Although we might differ n some areas we are still trying to work together so that we can make sure that the viewers of our imovie understand how important it is to be aware of these things.

**This is how our project in so far.

Feb. 9th

My Survey 

Today I created a survey for our imovie. On the link above you will be able to see my survey that I created.Today It was difficult to come up with questions that will be useful but I still created questions that will give me the feedback that will help me make my imkove better if I need to.

Feb. 7th

Today me and Analysa made a lot of progress today. We have proved how determined we are to successfully complete our computer project and all that. This is because we have done 10+ quotes in our i move and we are extremely certain that we will finishing time. We decided that it would be a lot easier to do pictures rather than short videos.

Feb. 3rd

Today Analysa and I continued to work on our move slides for the quotes. Analysa had more than I do because I didn't get to copy her quotes that she found. The IB learner profile that we accomplished would be Knowledgable, thins is because Analysa truly helped me whenever I got confused on what to do, because sometimes I didn't know what was going on with the font and such. Without her helping me I would be lost on what to do and probably be still on the first slid.

Feb. 1st

Today Analysa and I added some more quotes to our imovie and ran into some road blocks about the length of some of the quotes the was needed in our imovie. We have a lot more work that we still have to do, but we will make sure that we complete everything. I believe that we need to work on communication, Analysa and I, because I think we need to know what each other is doing so that we know what to fix or what more to add. Analysa and I i believe have been more open-minded than last time.

REFLECTION;

Attitudes in Technology:

My attitude on our technology project is positive & willing to do what ever it takes to get our project done and with quality. Me & Analysa try our hardest to finish it. Me & Analysa are going to start creating our video, but we havn't started yet because our personal lives havn't let us start but we are trying our best to do it over the weekend. In my quiz I was persistant in trying to get a good grade, because although it might be a small quiz it is still a grade that will count on my final grade for technology. I will continue to try my hardest in technology.

Reflection c;

I think that I'm did a good job on my project. I think this because I worked extremly hard on my project , I also did  research on my project and made sure that my information is legit. I worked really hard on it so I really hope that you give me an A on it. (:

My plan for the project to to pair up with Analysa and do a awesome movie on Digital Law , today we learned how to make a to knotch movie with the quality of a real movie that you would see in a movie theater. Next time or next class I will be on task and try my best to go above and beyond.

My attitude in technology i give myself an 8 because i got off task at times.

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.

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.

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.
