Final Evaluation

Now that we were finished with the project, we are ready to present it. I think we worked well as a team but at times we could get distracted and had to make up for the time lost at home or at breaks, but the rest was fairly straight forward. We made a big comic strip all together and had a bit of spare time so we decided to do two other short ones. Something we did well was that each of us worked as a group and gave feedback and comments on what we should do. I think we could have improved on the storyline which we had to shorten up due to the time for the project and also out more details and better effort. We finished on the expected time which was about one lesson before the day due of the project. One of the difficulties was finding a software that would let us do parts of the comic and then put it all on one book and also that would be able to embed it on our blogspot. We experimented with different software and agreed to use toondo which met all of our needs. I think it might have a bigger impact for the primary school but could also be used by the senior school counselors.

Comics About Bullying

2009-02-28T20:31:00.000-08:00

Planing: We will make a comic strip about bullying we found this software called Toondoo. It helps us make the comic strips. The software has many features that can help us to develop our storyline.

Story line:

We start off with an innocent boy named Derrick, he was playing basketball. Out of no where a bully comes along. He starts teasing him about his size. Derrick tried to fight back but another guy in the bully crew and threatens derrick to beat hi up.

PBS - IT's MY LIFE - BULLYING
This website was targeted for children, because it has a lot of games, pictures and uses simple language that is easy to understand. It is also made in a happy mood with a lot of colors and stuff.

Blog on BullyinG
This website is made for people ranging from kids to teenagers. It doesn't have any games or videos, but a lot of cartoons. The language used is still easy to understand, but has more meaning put into it.

ANTI-BULLYING WEBSITE
This website has a lot of features. It has four modes. For Cool stuff, for adults, what bullying is and what you can do. The language follows the same patters as the one before.

CYBERBULLYING
This website is made to be for reaserch only. It has a couple of pictures, but there wasn't a lot of design put in.

Bullying has many characters.

Bully
Target
Witnesses
Innocent

And each one of them has a roll to play. Bullying can be done in many ways and in many places. It usually happens in schools and is done to make someone feel bad or ashamed. Bullying can range from teasing to physical violence. There are a lot of solutions to this, the easiest one is to tell an adult and they will give you advise on what to do. Fighting back doesn't work well, because you could get hurt or in trouble.

Final Evaluation on project

2009-02-11T23:59:00.000-08:00

My project works well. All of the multimedia works properly and it has all the things I planned for it. I wish we could have used some time at the start to look at the tutorials and then we could use it better. Some of the stuff we had to guess or ask a friend that knew, so that slowed down the process. Overall it was easy and worked well.

One of the hardest parts of the project was the investigation stage. Sometimes we would spend a lot of time researching and most of the stuff that came up was either too basic, too complicated or irrelevant.

Designing was very easy, we just drew a plan of what we wanted our website to look like and then we started making it on the computers.

We skipped the plan stage and continued creating the website.

Client Meeting

Your design and layout of our web pages-does it fit you drawing/plan.
Your topic and research. What have you done in class?
Color,font and the use of multimedia.
Does it have five pages?
The features of Apple iWeb. What is working. What is not working in the web application
Do you have an Emergency Plan? Do you have a reference page?
You must take screenshots of your.... iWeb, Delicious bookmarks and Google Docs.

Answers:

My design fits the plan, but I wasn't expecting to make so many pages. Right now I have 5 pages and I still need to make the multimedia page ( videos, movies etc.) and the reference page.
I have researched about hurricanes and their effect on humans and nature.
I like the white font I am using, but I would like to use a font that has rain inside.
It already has five pages, but i still need the evacuation plan, multimedia and reference page.
It's the first time I use iWeb, so I'm just using the simple stuff, so far everything has been working.
No, I haven't got that far yet.

Judging websites

Some of the websites I have looked at are very good, they have a lot of tabs that can take you from one subject to another. For example the national geographic site is very well put together. It's organized, the words are easy to understand and has a lot of features so that you don't get bored by just reading the text. I also think that this website is very useful and could be enjoyed by people of all ages. Some of the websites were very busy and you would get bored by just looking at it because it looks dead.

Evaluation on robotics project

2008-11-22T20:44:00.000-08:00

My refection:

This term in our robotics unit, we started reaserching about robots. All the usefull information we got was posted on our wikispace.

What is a robot
Robot rules
Robots in the Movies
How they affect us
What they are made of
What impact do they have on us

All this time we have been following the MYP design cycle, which at the end lead us to the Evaluation stage. To make our robots, we used a lego product which is called Mindstorms (hardware). At the stage when we were finished building it, we used Robolab to proggram it.

At the proggraming stage, we had some difficulties with the tower and the software. First of all, in my opinion I think that it's a bit hard to understand what the proggram is saying to you. This is because there is no wiriting at, just symbols. The other thing is that this software is about ten years old and it sometimes starts to act funny. Due to this complications, we weren't able to to proggram our robot. On the other hand, it was the first time for almost everyone in the class to build a robot.

I myself have one of these mindstorms nxt kit, (a newer version) and it is by far easier and more sofisticated that the ones we used, but it's still great fun building then.

Investigate

The designing of a robot: you can proggram you robot to do almost about anything. For example you can tell it to search for a white line, a trail, to follow heat etc. You could tell it to go 20 steps in every direction until it finds a wihite line then it would have to follow it untill it ends. This might seem lilke a piece of carke for us, but for a robot it is very hard, and if he does it correctly, you could say it is a great succses.

Some of the things we have changed throughout the project were for example, we hoped to get some pictures about the iphone being used by a small kid or used in school. But the iphone is still something very new which school's are just tring it out, so unfortunately there were harldy any pictures about it being used in school. So for a couple of pictures we had to use the ipod as an example which wasn't our main topic although it is similar in some ways to the iphone. Some of the strenghts of our project is that iphone is popular so everyone knew about and liked our presentation. One of the weaknesses that we found in our project was that we didn't work as a team. I thought that we diseagreed a lot in some things. So he went his way and made the animoto his way and I made the voicethread my way so the outcome wasn't as good as we wanted because as saing says "two heads think better than one" so it wasn't as good as we would have liked it to be, but it was fine at the end. And I would recommend to the students that do this project next year to choose someone they know that can work well with you and you can work well with him.

Finally finished!!!!

We have been working really hard for a few weeks. Now we are finished and ready to present our project to the whole class. We hope you like it.

The awsome new IPHONE

2008-03-11T23:55:00.000-07:00

The iphone is phone released exclusicily by apple.It has some new features that most phones don't have. For Example: it has a touch screen, you can connect to a wireless network without using your credit.If you flip it around you look at pictures and youtube videos, talking about youtube videos, the iphone has a feature that it has youtube allready installed in it. So if you want to watch some videos you just need to touch it with your finger and there you have it.Did you know that the iphone doesn't have any buttons, exept for one that its only fuction is to light up the screen.You can get them in most thechnology shops and for sure the apple shops. You can use it in many subjects. It can also be a good idea to make a new interactive map, that can be installed in the GPS system for the new students. And they can also be used for the homework.
