Investigation on Anti-bullying Campaign

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











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




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

Answers:

  1. 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.
  2. I have researched about hurricanes and their effect on humans and nature.
  3. I like the white font I am using, but I would like to use a font that has rain inside.
  4. It already has five pages, but i still need the evacuation plan, multimedia and reference page.
  5. It's the first time I use iWeb, so I'm just using the simple stuff, so far everything has been working.
  6. 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

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.
