Choosen project

What I choose to research was degital security. The reason I choose this was so that I can  help myself  and others about the security use of the internet. It will be useful so that we can all be safe in the internet. It can keep us away from any danger so I would like to use this as my project. Digital security
is about finding out if we are safe in our digital environment. If around us is a secure environment so that it won't impact our future.

quia post

America offline is when only people that have acess to the internet can be able  to use.
Digital divide is the space between a household and etc.
Unequal access people are usually poor people which is the lower class. Upper class and middle class are the ones that usually do all the bloging.
Innovators can help out group activitys for the community because innovators is like an organization that helps out.
The final recommendations are that it would help that everyone can have access to the internet. The jobs can use internet so that our economy can be balanced out.

link

MY link is when i have to uput up my game so that the 6 graders will try my game. From there i will see if it helps a 6 grader understand the design cycle. The link will be seen by everyone that needs help for the design cycle. I don't think that i did such a good job with it. My work would've been better if i took all the time given. The other reason I didn't do a good job is because i missed alot days when I had technology.

evaluation

1. How can my learning serve my community? 
The way i can help my community is by doing it everywhere i go if I have a project.2. How can your future projects become better? 
By using the design cycle and knowing what they are.3. What have you learned about yourself and what you will continue to do or not do and why? 
What i have learned about myself is that the design cycle really helps me. It makes the work easier and productive.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?
5. What would you do differently in regards to your planning and execution of your plan?

survey

My questions for the survey are 3-6.
1.What is the 1 step in the design cycle and how can you remember it?
2.What is the reason for this project?
3. What did a 6 grader learn from this project?
4.Why do we need the design cycle?
5.What is before and after create?

Reflection

My reflection is about how i did on my project. I thing that i could've done better than i did. I hope that they can understand my work so that it can be easier for them to understand. My questions will be at least 5-6.My reflection on my progress is that the 6 graders will get to see my work on how the design cycle works. I am proud that i am going to share my work to 6 graders. I will hope that with my project they actually understand the design cycle better.

evaluation

In this section we create. The create part is when we choose what we have done. We decide how we are going to make the project. It will show the design cycle. The design cycle would have to be understandable. If it is not clear then the creative part will have to be a low grade.

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Create is next. The creation part is when we do the project that we choosed. It depends which one you did for you re project.No matter which you did it has to be understandable to a 6 grader. The sixth grader has to understand the design cycle. The design cycle has to be clear and creative. If a 6 grader doesn't understand then it will be bad because the whole point of this project is to make a 6 grader understand. It makes us better by understanding the cycle and  also the 6 grader. It will be graded by the teacher and also ourselves . My project is to make a flip book. This flip book will include how to understand the design cycle.

reflection six week

I am working on a project that helps a 6 grader to understand the design cycle. I think that I will get a 75 or maybe a 80. It all depends on how well I make a 6 grader understand the design cycle with the project I'm going to do. I gave myself a 75-85 because i think I will mention the problem , the revelance ,and investigate the problem to. A 3-4 is what i mostly will go for so i don.t struggle that much. It will better to go for something i can actually get and reach.

flipbook

The rubric is about how it is going to help us grade our self and be honest. The rubric is grading how we did in our project and if we met the goal we wanted. This rubric is for every level 4. We are supposed   grade what we did in our project. We are supposed to make a paragraph. In that paragraph we are typing about what we gave ourself . We have listed backgrounds,characters,text,simplicity,and finally the total. This grader is for the project we are doing to help a 6 grader. I am  helping a 6 grader by doing a school treasure hunt. The treasure hunt shows them the design cycle. The design cycle will show a 6 grader how to use it in a project. 
Background(two paragraphs)
The graph shows that I gave myself a 3 because I think i didn't do that well. The rubric is soppouset to help us reflect on ourselves. We need to be honest on grading ourselves. I didn't give myself a higher grade beacuse I think that the school treasure was good enough.
  It might help students but not that much. The 6 graders might not find it fun to work with or find it helpful. In the future I will do better. I will show them how to make a design cycle .We can make up our own grading sheet , but we have to be honest. The teacher will check if we are doing the right thing.
  The first thing on my grading sheet is background. In my background I gave myself a 3. I gave myself a three because I thing i didn't  do well  on my background . In the future I will do better give more creativity and be more clearly. My work will probably not be understandable to a 6 grader. My background will be better as I go on. I will make a 6 grader understand with my background.
  
  The next thing on my grader is character. I gave myself a 4 for the character. I am giving myself a 4 because I choose to do a school treasure hunt. The school treasure hunt will help a 6 grader understand the design cycle . In character we are supposed to make sure that  we have enough illustrations so that they can understand.

What i did to make a 6 grader understand was that i made a game. The game asks them questions about the design cycle. It asks about the steps,in what the steps are about. The 6 grader will have fun and be educated at the same time. The game will not take along time and will have all the information they need to know.
