EVALUATION ON EVERYTHING.

    The investigation comparison went well for me because that was the chance i had to compare all the different tools. I compared the comic master and the 3-D model to determine which one would be better for me. I also took the simplicity for the 6th graders into consideration because i wanted them to use something that was easy to understand. During the investigation stage i had to analyze the problem and answer the question. The question was to help 6th graders understand the purpose and stages of the design cycle.  The design stage i had to design the product or solution. I decided to go out and design the comic master; at least one of the slides or spaces. It was about a woman there asking the villain if he knew what the design cycle was, and what it consisted of. The plan stage was to plan a product or solution. There i had to plan all of the time management. The time management was to organize the amount of minutes/time i would consume each day. I had to plan all of the things i was going to do, and determine how much time each would take. My total was five hundred and ten minutes, so i had to spread each individually. I personally think the plan stage is a very important stage in the design cycle because that's when you have to organize and plan everything in order to know what to do the next day ,or before the project is due.  The create stage in my project worked out very well because even if i had to mess with the settings and everything, i still accomplished the comic book. At first i insisted on creating my product,but it wouldn't save. Then, i began getting frustrated because i was doing the work for nothing. In other words, it didn't save until the next day i came in class the work finally decided to save to comic master. Thank goodness. In addition, even if i was impatient about the comic master website i didn't give up and never stopped trying. I used appropriate techniques and equipment to create my solution. The comic master began getting easier the more i messed with it. It took me two days to complete the final product. Then the evaluate stage of my project  was to make a survey of the 6th graders about the questions to test if my product explained everything they needed to know. I evaluated the use of the design cycle, and evaluated the product or solution. I ended up making six questions in total so that the sixth graders could answer them an get a hundred cause of my project ;) In conclusion, i would rate myself a six on attitudes of technology because i believe i was really motivated to get this project done. I was positive about my project to be successful since the day I started. Also, i provided help and assistance to my teammates when they didn't understand a certain concept.

Accomplishments.

Today i was able to create the comic book, and i was able to finish my questions. :)

HW;IA-PART II.

1. How can my learning serve my community? 

Learning can help my community in a variety of ways. It can serve my community spiritually because they'll feel good about my learning. 


2. How can your future projects become better? My future projects can be better by having more time to work on the create stage of the project. Reviewing all my objects and revising what they do can help my final product be better. 
3. What have you learned about yourself and what you will continue to do or not do and why? I've learned that i am very determined to finishing my work, and i don't slack off. I will continue to be motivated to finishing all my work. But i will not continue to use comic master because i learned that there are better resources out there.
4. How do you feel about your final product? What would you rate yourself on the Rubric scale of 1-6 for each part of the Assessment Criterion? I feel pretty confident with my final product because i know i explained everything thoroughly to the point where the sixth grader will have no problem understanding. I will rate myself a six on the Rubric scale for each of the assessment criterion because i worked independently and followed all the class rules.
5. What would you do differently in regards to your planning and execution of your plan? I will plan more thoroughly so i can make my project more precise, and once i feel that I'm ready i will execute my plan and begin on the design stage of the design cycle.

Create'







Today i created a comic book because it was simple to make. Sixth graders will have fun reading it, and they'll remember everything. Editing the backgrounds and placing the characters, and adjusting the zoom was interesting for me. After I'll give the students the design cycle survey they will receive a hundred because everything they needed to know was on the comic book. Therefore, i rate myself a six out of six.
