FINISHED

I just Finished the create. It is Required of me to make a paragraph about the alterations i made to my plan so here it is:

Alterations I Made To My Plan
I made several alterations to my plan. i completly underestimated the time things would take me and i should have spreand my work load evenly across time. the major things i changes was the fact that i left out the section about the basics of scratch and the section about a game of snake and instead created a section on a game of pong. i did this because the snake game would be to hard for the people using the toutorial because you would have to use the pen in very complex was, such as having a logical procedure in order for the tail to change the head's pen colour to white and have that as a variable distance for it to be possible to level up. I left out the scratch basics because I thought that the roots are the most important part when learning something, so instead of using my teaching aid, I think that at the begging an old school, teaching style would be more effective.

CREAT: GAMES

today i finished creatng the games that i will teach how to make in my toutorial. i think i really underestimated the time things would take me. because the narration recording really takes a long time.

Create

Today I continued doing my create. Creating the simple first person shooter is harder than I though. achieve the graphics and mobility i expected will take a long time and be too challenging for the people taking the toutorial to learn. but i think that the versing that i will be creating will be good enough, and close enough to Call of Dutty, or at leats kind off close.

PLAN

Today I finished my plan, which I started last lesson. i changed from the design of the teaching aid designed in flash to the design in which the teaching aid is made with powerpoint. i did this for the simple fact that the school does not have flash installed and it would be very hard to get it.

Today I nearly finished my design. I just have to finish off the evaluation. My teacher gave us the opportunity to hand in the design at the begging of next lesson. i really like my designs and i think that they are all great options, and if i was doing this for a cliente i think the client would have a difficult time choosing.

Design

Today I started my design. I finished 1 deesign, the one which is made with flash and im nealry finished with the one which is made in power point. i am using smart art found in the microst pruducts to create them. I think that they are going to both be exellent coices for my teaching aid.

Investigation: Near the End

The investigation is due in two weeks. I am now starting the stage of Design Specification. The Design Specification is the section of the investigate where you need to come up with a list of essential and desirable characteristics, as well a set of tests to know if our teaching has the characteristics you wanted. You design the test now for you not to be able to be bios when designing your test, if you designed the test after the create you could design the test for it to say that our product is excellent. Here is a link to my Investigation. It only has the Identify the problem, but I will update it and the other parts will be available.

Investigation

Unemployment!

PowerPoint Animations

Today we did not have Internet available at Oeiras International School. Therefor we spent thelesson learning some usefull tricks in PowerPoint. These tricks will be very usefull if I wanted tomake my teaching aid in PowerPoint. I will most likely do it on Flash than on Powerpoint. Learnedthings such as how to link slides deactivate the right click and costume animations.

Investigation continues...

Today I continued to work on my investigation. I already finished the Identify the problem section of the investigation. Today I began to work on the design brief section of the investigation. I designed five questions which will help me to create my teaching aid. I will have to finish answering the questions next lesson so that I keep well up to date with the due dates. In a future post I will have all my work on Google docs so that it is easily followed.

Excel Chart

Today at the begging of class I uploaded the pie chart I created last lesson. The pie chart shows the favourite characters from the popular TV show "How I Met Your Mother". In order for me to know what was each person's favorite character I made a survey (also in Excel) and then created the pie chart.
