Monday, October 17, 2011

My learnig by learning the design cycle i can help out other how need help with design/ creating the design cycle. This can help others make projects more easy to create and build. My future project can become better by using this process of the design cycle to make my project easyer and more creative. i also can make three designs of how i can create my project, go thought them, and pick one which i thiught was the best. The things that i learned about myself is that i can create something i never had done before. I also learned that i now how to use the design cycle. I will contined to use the design cycle step o create my project nd make other understand what im doing. The way i feel about my final product is very pround. The reaon why i feel this is becauese i have been work very hard to create this slideshow so that the 6th graders can underastnad what the design cycle is. The way i rate myself is at least a 5 because i belive i did a good job and a 6th grader can understand whats going on and how to use the design cycle. The thing that i would have done better is createa video because a 6th grader can  understand better with cartoon and picture.

The problem that we have to do is explain to a 6th grader what the design cycle is.The design that I choose to use for my project was sample#1.The reason why I choose  this one is because I think its more specific and you can show the 6th gradders more so they can understand better. In this design i can show then examples and picture so that they know to do use/create a design cycle.

SLIDESHARE


The number i chose for simplicity was 4. The reason i chose this number because its easy to use. This program is useful to me because i can understand it better. This number to me was the right answer because the simplicity is helpful to use. You can also explain to others by using characters a to show whats happening in that slide.


     The number i chose for photos was 4. The reason i chose this number is because there a surrtent amount of  photos you can use. This program lets me use amount of pictures but its okay because i need  a lot of pictures in my slideshow. I chose this because i think that the 6th graders will understand more if i use picture and then explain it to them.


      The number i chose for transition was 5. The reason icehouse this number was because when you change the slides, the slides move fast and you can add music/sound effects. When you want to switch slides or change the slide they will go fast. You can also add sound effect or music to them.



PHOTO SHOW:




     The number i chose for simplicity was 4. The reason i chose this number was because its super duper easy to use and i understand how to use it. The project needs to be at least 2 minutes long so i have enough time to present my project with in this amount of time.
     
     The number i chose for photos was 3. The reason i chose this number was because that you can only use a surrtent amount of photos. The reason why i chose this number because i can use more photos if i want to and i can add sound effect to that slide. I can also explain or add two pic to the slide and explain what it means.
   
     The number i chose for transitions was 4. The reason why i chose this number was because the slide change fast but you can not add and sound effect or music. You can also change how the slide move. The sound effects can be more then one to make the slide be more creative and look/show more things.
In class today i decided to use a sideshow to show a 6th grader what the design cycle is. The reason I chose this program because i thought that it would be easier to show a 6th grader by showing a picture and explain what happen in that slide. The two different  programs I choose were Slideshare and Photoshow. I thought that Slideshare was a good program to explain and show people how to use things. It was cool to view and find examples of how to make one.  Photoshow is a program useing piture to create a slide show, then if u want you can explain what the picture means or why its there.In my opinion i thought that Photoshout was better to use to show a 6th grader because there are still little so i thought that they will learn better with picture and then i will explain it what is happing.
