Reflection

 I have not been able to test my PowerPoint presentation on the 6th graders, so I am not sure if my end product actually works and teaches what the Design Cycle means and how it works. I think if I had been able to give the tests to the 6th graders, I would have done an okay job on teaching them what the Design Cycle means and teaching them how to use it. 

Evaluation

Investigate- In this stage, I had a bit of trouble figuring out what to do for my project. I looked for many tools I could use to make a simple and fun video for the 6th graders to look watch and learn what the design cycle is and what it is for. I think if i had a bit more time or if I used my time more wisely, I coudlve found a better program other than PowerPoint to use.

Design- In the design stage, I wasnt sure what to design. I already knew that I wanted yo use the Power Point program because it was going to be simple and easy to make and understand. I designed 3 different lists of what I wanted to put on each slide I was going to put in the Power Point. I ended up using the most detailed design. I added some changes to the powerpoint because I didn't think it was enough. I could've done a better job if I had access to a pin drive so I could take the Power Point with me, or if I had chosen a program that was on the internet, I could've worked on it in more places.

Plan- On the plan stage, I planned out how much time I was going to spend in each thing I was going to put on the Power Point. I made a gantt chart so I could know and remember how much time I was supposed to spend on each thing and not to waste anytime on something I didn't need to waste time on. Unfortunately, I didn't follow the timing on the gantt chart i created. I wasted time on other things and I know I could've done a better job if I had spent the appropriate time on the right things.

Create- I the create stage, I created a PowerPoint. I followed one of my designs, but i made some changes to it. I made changes because I thought it wasn't enough things to put on the project. I needed more information on the slides so when i was creating my project, I added more information to it. I did my project kind of last minute and i would've done a better job if I had started way before than I actually started. 

Evaluate- In this stage, i am evaluating my self. I don't know if my product was a success because I did not get to test my product out. I made tests for the 6th graders to take but i didn't have a chance to actually give it to them. At the end, I realized how I didn't put a lot of effort into my product. I know if I had put more time into it it would've been a way better project.

Attitudes in Technology- My attitudes in technology where not as good as I expected them to be. I think I should've put in more effort and my project would've been a better project than it is. I didn't use enough time to do my project. Next time, i will try my best to focus on doing my best and completing a well done product.

IA Part II

1. How can my learning help my community?
My learning can help my community because by learning, I can teach others what i have learned and help them with problems they may have or questions and I will already know. Teaching others what I have learned will help them with thier lives and it will help them make their lifes easier.
2. How can your future projects become better?
My future projects can become better in the future because by evaluating myself on my Design Cycle project, I learned how to fix my mistakes. I also learned that I have to use my time more wisely than I did for this project.I will use the design cycle more often now because it makes doing propjects way more easier and its a more organized way to do projects.
3. What have you learned about yourself and what you will continue to do or not to do and why?
I learned that i get distracted very easily, I dont want to continue to keep getting distracted by everything so next time, i will try to keep more focus on what I am doing and I will try harder on my project next time.
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 think my final product was good, but there was a lot of room for improvement.
 I would rate myself a 4 on investigation because I looked for tools to use but at the last minute i wasnt sure what i was going to use.
 On the design stage, i rate myself a 5 because I created 3 designs on which i choose what i thought was the best one.
 On the plan stage, I rate myself a 4 because I planned what I thought needed to be done in order to get the product how I wanted it.
 On the create stage, i rated myself a 4 because I think I did a good job but i think i could do a way better job if I i tried better and used my time more wisely.
On the evaluation stage, i rated myself a 4 because I evaluated myself and i think i did an okay job with my final product.
On the attitudes ib technology, i rated myself a 4 because I kept getting distracted with other things and I didnt try my best on compliting the product, i also didnt use my time as wisely as i should have.
5. What would you do differently in regards to your planning and execution of your plan?
What I would do differrently in my plan is that I would probably use another program other than PowerPoint to create my project. I would also use my time more wisely.

Today I will try to finish working on my PowerPoint. I will collect pictures and everything else i need. I will complete the survey i will give to the sixth graders and i will try to come up with 10 questions. The 6th graders will have to answer 7 out of 10 of the questions i will ask them. i will ask simple questions that they should be able to answer just by watching my powerpoint.

 I started on the PowerPoint and i changed the colors of the slides to make sure they were not boring, i wanted them very bright.
