" DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP INVESTIGATION"

 Today I will research my topic and find 10 facts/behaviors I would like to

educate my peers about to prevent an inappropriate digital       footprint in their future.

Everybody Loves that Bad Celebrities     

Why do we, as a person, love the gossip on bad celebrities? Celebrities bad behavior is covered more in news stories than their positive behavior because it males more money, people like to hear exciting gossip stories, and it gets the  magazines name famous.

        Clearly, celebrity bad behavior gets covered more on news channels, newspapers, and magazines because it earns them more money. As stated before, these news medias always include the bad behavior of celebrities to get money, and the reason why these social media clubs earn what they earn is because everyone wants to buy the new thing, for example those people that you see with a magazine in their hands is always going to buy the new gossip on the celebrities.

1. Did they include a reflection in each posting?
2. Did they explain in detail what was happening each day they worked on the project?
3. What can they improve on ?
4. What do you think they did well on?
5. What would you rate them on our scale of 1-6 of our Assessment Criterion

• Investigate?
• Design?
• Plan-?
• Create?
• Evaluate?
• Attitudes in Technology-?

19.  Did I follow my Plan ?

No, I didnt follow my plan. My plan was to create a board game but I had very little time and alot of project to do. So I moved down on the list to slideshow. And that throw my whole plan out of wack!!!!! I wasnt able to completly follow my plan.

20.  How could I have improved on my creation?

I could've put more information into it and used it to do more. I could have done a better presentation of the design cycle while I was creating my slideshow. The slideshow should have had some words.

21.  What will I do next time that I did not do this time?

I will stick to my plan and design a better project next time.

Self Reflection

1.How can my learning serve my community?
My learning can help others know what I know through some form of communication. The way Im helping my community is Im creating a slideshow. To show them what I know which is the Design Cycle.
2.How can your future projects become better?
My future projects
3.What have you learned about yourself and what you will continue to do or not do and why?
4.How do you feel about your final product? What would you rate yourself on the Rubric Scale of 1-6  for each part of the Assessment Criterion?
What would you do differently in regards to your planning and execution of your plan?

Create-

I finished my slideshow today. And it took me the whole class period to try to finish, I posted it up to my blog, all it is a bunch of pictures that show you all the MYP design cycle.  With the name of the cycle it falls under on top of the pictures.
I rate myself a 7 for the day only because I finished my project number 1

2 Designs

Slideshow, its going to show the design cycle in order. Its going to show Investigation, Plan, Design, and Evaluate.
Slide 1- Title
Slide 2- Investigate, show the investagation process
Slide 3- Plan, show how the plan and investigate process work together and how the plan it self works
Slide 4- Design, show how the design and plan work together and on their own
Slide 5- Evaluate, show how the design and design work together and how the evaluate will help me later in future objects.

Powerpoint, is going to be the design cycle from Investigate to Evaluate.
Slide 1- Title
SLIDE 2- HAVE A BUNCH OF WORDS ON INVESTIGATE
SLIDE 3- WORDS ON PLAN
SLIDE 4- WORDS ON DESIGN
SLIDE 5- WORDS ON HOW EVALUATE WORKS AND HOW IT WILL HELP ME IN THE NEAR FUTURE

PLAN

The total is 180 minutes by 60 minutes in one hour.  I need a total of 3 hours to complete my project, This will take me a total of 3 class days. So, I should be done by the end of my due date to complete the project.

10 / 5 : Create 3 designs / 60 minutes
10 / 6 : Create project / 30 minutes & Evaluate survey / 30 minutes - 60 hours

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment?  None we can do anything we want.

13. How will you "test" your project?

STUDENT SAMPLE!! DO NOT COPY THIS IS AN EXAMPLE!! (BRANDON LAU'S BLOG DO NOT PLAGIARZE.    by using 6th graders who have taken the information in.

Slide Show

      Measurement                               Score
      
      Simplicity                                       5


      Fonts                                               4


      Colors                                             3


     Backgrounds                                    4

     Total                                                16 out of 20 




        The slide show, I did this because I thought it had everything. it had Simplicity,Colors, Fonts, and Backgrounds. So I rated Simplicity a 5, while somethings are a little tough to figure out, the majority is just click and type. Thats how easy a slideshow is. It's nothing, just do one little click of the mouse, and you can see previews, reviews, graphs, materials, fonts, and backgrounds. Almost anything.
         For fonts I rated it a 4 because it didn't have all the fonts I would've expected it to have. But it had most of them. So I took it easy on the fonts because that was the only real fault that the slide show had. So I rated it a 4 out of 5. 
          I gave colors a 3 because it had the lowest out of any, and in this one it really didn't have as many colors to type with it got a 3 compared to the Comic Masters 5, it might be simile but it it was lacking diversity . Thats also another flaw in the in the Slide Show.              
       And for the backgrounds they got a 4 because even though they had less backgrounds than the comics. The Slide was way SIMPLER  than the Comic. So once again simplicity was a factor. The only reason that I didn't give the Slide the 5 was because it had less DIVERCITY than the Comic Strip. So it was simple and affective but had a less range of backgrounds compared to the Comics.

Comic MASTER

           I rated simplicity on Comic designs a zero because the program was so frustrating to operate, I couldn't even begin the investigate part. I was stuck on typing in my email and making sure it was the right password. Then conforming it, so it took me forever to finish and sign in.When I did get into the Comic design I coolant figure the darn thing out. It was so irritating I was only able to pick up a few things for the comparison.
           For fonts I rated it at a 2 because it had a couple of different fonts. It didn't have as many as the Slide show would have, but it had a considerable amount. Also some of them were pretty cool. Still this is where simplicity came into play it was just to difficult to comprehend. I had to drag towards it towards the comic strip, then I had to figure out how to make it smaller, it was just to much to hassle with.
           Despite all the negatives I've written about it had some cool colors. The colors were a wide range of whites to browns to blacks ,and even had some purple in it. Basicly you name it had it. Even though it was still pretty hard to change the fonts and the simplicity. This one was also hard, but the wide ranges of colors  in the characters and backgrounds was so wide ranged that simplicity for me had and will not have for you. 
           And backgrounds were nearly the same as the color but it was wayyyyyyyyy more difficult. I could barley even make the backgrounds. But the backgrounds were still awesome they had woodlands, plains, and backyards. The wide range of backgrounds were astonishing. They were pretty easy to see but the simplicity was completely different it was amazingly hard. 

Day 2

IM GOING TO DO A COMIC STRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM DECIDED NOT TO DO A VIDEO BECAUSE IT WAS WAY TO MUCH WORK AND TO LITTLE TIME!!!!!!!!!! AND BECAUSE IM LAZY!!!!!!
