Digital Citizenship Investigation

Today i will research my topic and find 10 facts/behaviors that i would like to educate my peers about to prevent an inappropriate digital footprint in their future.


1. watch what you say, some people can misunderstand what you say.
2. negative comments can start something bad like an on line fight or you can get in big trouble.
3. Nothing is private in the internet. don't post any personal things on any social networking sites like facebook, twitter or myspace.

Reflection

The thing i did today was start off the video for digital etiquette. Next time we come back we are going to work on the video more. we are going slow because this video takes aot of time, it have to be carefully done. For the attitudes in technology a 4 because i dont think iput enough effort i my roject as much as i would

what i have done.

            Demi Lovato is a hero because she is caring, a good role model and a good influence. She is a good person and a lot of people say she is really nice and sweet.

Thesis Statement-IA #2

Not everyone has a hero but the people that do look up to certain celebrities because of things they do or did or maybe care about now. Not all celebrities are selfish and stuck up. Usually celebrities do charity work, support cancer patients, or help the homeless. Some celebrities are really caring, helpful and very good hearted. Those are the kind of "hero's" people look up too or wish they can be.

Evaluate

RATINGS 1-6


INVESTIGATE 


For investigate i rate myself a 3 because i didn't investigate much. I didn't really understand what to do till the end of the investigation stage.


DESIGN


For design i rate myself a 2 because i know i can do better when it coming to designing things. i rated myself a 6 because if i put more effort in it would be better.


PLAN


For plan i rate myself a 4 because i didn't plan much. i didn't take a lot of time to plan. if i took more time on the plan stage i would've done better.


CREATE


For create i would rate myself a 4 because i didn't finish. i forgot to save my first comic so i had to start over again. i don't want to finish because i want to go back and do a go animate, it would be pointless to finish something i'm not even going to use.


EVALUATE


For evaluate i rate myself a 5 because i'm being hones. i'm not lying about how i feel about my project. 


ATTITUDES


For attitudes in technology i rate mysel  6 because i think my attitude is positive. i think i'm doing good when it comes to my attitude in technology.

UGHHH! I'M SO FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!! 


I don't like the comic strip anymore its so complicated. I'm thinking about doing Go Animate. I'm frustrated because i have to go back and start all over again, and i really don't want to, i worked so hard on what i have now. but i feel like the comic strip isn't going to help a 6th grader learn the design cycle. This makes my head hurt. Go animate makes this easier because its more understanding. i haven't even started my survey yet.

Design Specification

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

•   Make it simple for a 6th grader to understand

•   Teach a 6th grader the Design Cycle by using

•   6th Graders will be able to list the steps of the Design Cycle

•   Must be 2 minutes or less

•   About 5 pages long on Storybook

•   Not that distracting from the point

•   Made by Comic Master program online

Test

I will give them a survey that has 10 test questions about the design cycle.

I could test my product if it was successful or not by analyzing the students surveys.  I will be successful if they are able to answer 7 out of the 10 corrections on their survey.

Design Brief

10. Write a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it.
       For my project i decided to do a Comic strip/ Storybook that is going to describe to a sixth grade about the Design Cycle. It is very specific and understanding.

Formulate a Design Specification
11. What are the requirements for this assignment?

     It must be simple to understand and under 2 minutes to explain.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment?  
    The limitation is the time because i only have   2 minutes to explain the Design Cycle,

13. How will you "test" your project?
     i will test my project by giving out surveys about the design cycle to see if they really did learn something and if my comic strip really was understanding and simple.

Brainstorming-3 designs

Sample 1:
Scene 1:  A hero (Captain I Can Do It All) describes what the design cycle is and is about
Scene 2: A villain (Mr.I Think I Can Do It All) disagrees
Scene 3: (Caption "POW!"/*Captain I Can Do It All punches the villain in the face for disagreeing* Captain I Can Do It All explains why he shouldn't disagree
Scene 4: The villain understands what the hero is talking about and agrees
Scene 5: The hero and the villain fly threw the city and talk\explain the design cycle to each other


Sample 2:
Scene 1: (Hero) Captain I Can Do It All and (villain) Mr. I Think I Can Do It All were flying threw the city together (talking)
Scene 2: Mr. I Think I Can Do It All is explaining to Captain I Can Do It All about the design cycle and how he is using it to make  secret device to destroy the city (*Clover Field*)
Scene 3: They had a disagreement about the stages of the design cycle
Scene 4: They got into a strong argument.
Scene 5: They were fighting while trying to prove there own points.
Scene 6: Captain I Think I Know It All was proved wrong

Sample 3:

Scene 1:  Captain I Can Do It All and Mr.I Think I Can Do It All were at whataburger.

Scene 2: They were talking about life and Captain I Can Do It All mentioned the design cycle.

Scene 3: They started discussing the design cycle while while eating Chicken strips.

Scene 4: They made a pack that whoever knows more about the design cycle is getting fee whataburger for a mouth

Comic Strip

For the Theme I rated myself a 7. I rated myself a 7 because I think the theme I understanding. I feel like the theme deserved a 7 because it deserves no ness nut no more then 7 because i don't think its perfect. but I don't feel like it is bad.


Characters choice was rated a 5 because it deserves no more then a 5 but no ness them a 5. I love the fact that i'm using heros but i don't like the fact that it has villains. But the characters make the audience understand what the point of the comic strip.


The simplicity is rated a 4 because it deserves no more then a 4. it is some what simple but it may be a little confusing. It may seem confusing but you can somewhat understanding

Flipbook

For simplicity i rate myself a 2 out of 5. I give myself a 2 because my flipbook is somewhat kinda confusing. Its not so easy to understand. i think i understand it well because I'm the one creating it and its coming from my point of view. In other words I basically know whats going on.


For character choices i rate myself a 3 out of 5. I rated myself a 3 because its a little confusing. The characters i think are some what understanding.


For the theme I rated myself a 1 because  i think the theme is a little difficult to understand. Its more simple to me because I created it but Im curious to know if its simple to other people.

Day 2: Investigation Reflection

I decided to create a book. I think seeing things in a picture or comic book is more helpful, so I went to Flipbook.  With a flipbook you can draw and create many different things.
 its creative but i feel a comic book is more accurate because its more understandable. I think a picture/ comic book is the best way to teach a sixth grader about the design cycle. With a comic book i found out that there are many different ways to make one. i learned that you can add captains and effects. there are many different back rounds you can choose from.
