Reflection 11/29/2011

Today I used imovie and it seemed kind of hard to use probly because it is my first time to use it. Im working on a project with alan for the project for the digital etiquette. I made some progress today I made a outline so about a small part of it is already done. I give myself a 7 for today because I was on task but I wasnt on task for most of the time. There was some times when I zoned out during class working on the project.

The plan for the project is on digital etiquette and it is going to be a movie. It is a public service anouncement on how it is digital etiquette. The movie will be real short because it wont be like a long one itll just have some pictures and a small clip probly because today is just the beginning. There is always room for improvement and editing and revising to be done.

My Digital Footprint

I looked up for myself on google using my facebook name and all I found was my profile on facebook, that's all. I looked up my fist name and last name of what is on my report card and other things and I got nothing I found some soccer player and a musician. And last I looked up what my family calls me and found some guy with a youtube account who plays basketball and a boxer. Of what I have so far I think that my digital fooprint is good theres a small number of things I have.

Research

Unequal Acsess is how internet is gotten by people in a country the poorer people get less internet and badder internet than rich people get. The access could be like in Canada Japan South Korea England and some other countries where they state and provider of broadband pay for 1/3 of the cost of internet. Some towns and cities wire the houses and schools and they get the use of streets and power lines. In other plaes they try to lower the income so they can make broadband for the people and schools and libraries and other stuff or places that use internet. improving infrastructure generates more jobs, greater business investment, and higher tax revenues. The long-term economic benefits of better Internet infrastructure.This will make a digital footprint that is better than the one that was here 20 years ago or 20 years in the future if the broadband internet had the equal access like they do in Canada and other countries that have the income and access to the streets and power lines for internet baing able to have internet.

Self EVALUATION

         For my project I gave myself a 4 which is an 80. I have not gotten the evaluation of 3 6th graders so I don't get an 5 or 6 cause I don't even have one evaluation from them. I have 12.... no I have more than 12 posts on my blog I have 19 posts which is beyond what I am supposed to have so I should get a decent grade by now. I have a game which is simple real simple but it still explains the design cycle in a good way and is understandable so I think that I deserve a good grade which is about a 3 or 4
         My investigate paragraph is good I answered all the questions but theres not all in complete sentances. And I posted the tools I chose. It has 4 different criterions on how it is used and why I gave it that grade.  
          I give myself a good grade for plan, it has what Im going to do. It also says what Im going to do for my project. It has my plan on how Im going to use my time and how long itll take me to complete. So I decide to give myself a good grade like 75 or 80.
          For design I gave myself a 85. It has 3 sample designs of the project. and shows how itll be in a order.

DAY 22 Reflection

I evaluated some people today and have mae some progress in it. The paper is not so much filled but it has something on it which is better than nothing.

CREATE REFLECTION

19. Did I follow my plan?
At first I followed my plan, my first plan was to make a flipbook and it was
a little hard to do because I couldn't save it so I changed to a game that I could save and
open again to  continue working on it.

20. How could I have improved on my creation?
I could've used my time more wisely, not thinking what am i gonna do next and
what am I supposed to do now I don't understand

21. What will I do this time that I did not do this time?
I will use my time wisely in class and when I make a decision I will stick wih it
and not change my mind somewhere tords the end of when the projects halfway done
and I don't have nothing of progress done .

DAY 20

I still don't got the link working but it takes it to the questions page, OH WELL. Ill just have to keep it the way it is besides Ill probably try to get it to work and it'll probably mess up the project and ill have to start all over again. Next class it has to be evaluated and I only put a few minutes into makeing it so Ill probably not get a 6 or 5 but thats all right.

Create Part 2

Today I tried to see if the link that is for the project worked. It didn't so I'll try later to try to get it to go to directly to the game. Wensday is when I'll try again to get the gmae to work.

Create

This is the create step of the design cycle in my project. It took a while to make because I couldn't figure out what to do for it,but the I got it. I made a game (YAY). The game is about trying to shoot letters to match the defenitions.
Here is a link to get to the game thing.
