Evaluation

I think that I did a god job doing my project. I read the criteria and tried my best to follow it to the letter. I also listened to the teacher, took surveys and pinions and suggestion of my colleagues

investigation

I started my investigation the very first day. I tried to find most of the newest emerging technology and wrote how it can help us as student and as school to COMMUNICATE better and to INFLUENCE OUR LIVES in the classroom,the school and outside the walls of the foundation. I also used different resources and referenced to some comments, reviews and videos that support my ideas. I also tried to write more on how the features can be modified to be appropriate for school use. I also wrote on different computer models such as Vaio pocket and how it could help us improve education at our school. I also wrote down about office online and office 2010 and what were some of the new features it provided us with along with possible advantages and disadvantages that ir has to offer us. During my research I found an iphone that is assumed to be turned into ischool. Even though it might have been a lie, but I decided to give it a shot and try my best to see how it could help us imrve our education. I also wrote about google docs and what it has to offer us and how is it superior to microsoft oiffice. I also wrote down a design brief and design specification for my product

Overall in the investigation I did well writting about new technologies and defining the problem and the relevance and what is emerging technology. I however think I couldve done beter in reaasearching a bit more on new technologies and going more indepth with the them.

Design

In design I think that I could've done better by adding a script to the designs rather than planing it out after the design. The reason was because I thought that it would be better to write the script later so I can avoid any problems while changing the design or editing it. I also could've introduced more designs, but I refleted that in my process journal and wrote why I changed my final design and what influenced my opinion. I think that I did good job evaluating my design against the design rief and design specification. I wrote also possible reasons why I chose this design and how I could improve it.

Plan

I did well in my plan. I made a grantt chart and explained the time I was needed and wrote down possible items and skills I will need to learn. I also wrote an estimation of the product dates and when each stage is completed. I answered questions related to whom is my deisgn is for and why am I reating and how it help us. I also wrote a detialed explaination of what possible items I will require and what resources I will have to adapt to. I also wrote steps that I will follow to make my design succeful and what steps do I need to finish succefully to finish the product.

Create

In create stage I finished my product according to the plan I did. I used movie maker, hyper cam and my vaio laptop to film the documentary. I recorded some evidence of my working and wrote a process journal explaining what obstacles I faced. After the crate stage was finished, I fpund a new program called sony vegas which is hundred times better than movie maker or imovie. I also used other videos and opinions and put it in my video. I used my school laptop and other three more laptops to film and edit my filming. I couldve done better using sony vegas since I could have added special effects and other features. In filming I had a lot of mistakes and so I had to cut and paste which I did successfully. I also showed the benefits of google docs through other recorded videos and creative ways of demonstrating. I think overall in the create stage I did what I was asked to in the cretieria and follow my plan through my create.

My product was evaluated in three ways. One was against the design brief and design specification. The other one is by surveying. And the third was by gathering some audience and asking them for opinions. My product shows the benefits that ti can offer us that word or ther products are not able to. Strangely enough my product influenced my life already. I am using google docs to edit my work and hand it online and save old documents and store it in different directories. It influenced the life of other students already. one is abdelrahman megahead who is using it frequently in humanities and some other lessons. Although I am planing to make this product for the whole school and I will try to talk to some teachers to use it in class. I tested my product using different methods and gathering different auidence to watch my product.

Overall I was always meeting deadlines, but at the create stage I had to stay all night to finish it and I think my best strength in this project was reflecting and planing, but my weakness was a bit doing the project and I could improve it by next year tp use the sony vegas and practicing more.
