Design cycle process

Right now I am done with my Go animate video and my survey. All I need to do is to test the six 6th graders on my video. My survey only has 10 questions that the six 6th graders are gonna have to answer. I think that during lunch I am going to test the 6th graders or maybe even next week. To see how much the 6th graders have learned about the design cycle. Also im am going to be checking if they understood the video on the design cycle and see how much they have learned on the video I made.

Investigation reflection

Through out this whole project I have acomplished doing the my explainations on what im going to do to help a 6th grader understand what the design cycle is all about by creating a 2 presentations. I give myself a 3 out of 4 with my blog it explains what im going to do to help the 6th graders out and say what my presentations are gonna be about. My blog has about pretty much everything to understand what im doing. I need to write on my blog a little bit more add more deatails and be more understanding. My investigation reflection doesnt have to much but needs more explaining. The tables i did to explain my 2 presentations that im gonna be doing have good details of what im gonna do with my presentations and how im gonna explain it.

Flip book


The simplicity for the flip book I chose 4/5 because it was simple to do cause im gonna be the one drawing the things that are gonna be on my flip book. Or maybe it would be easier to put screen shots on my flip book. 

The characters I chose 5/5 because its easy to and draw or maybe get screen shots so it wouldn't be that hard to do for the character part. Character would be a little hard to because its gonna have to go with the design cycle project Im gonna be working on.

Themes on the flip book I chose 3/5 because its something you can just draw but it would be harder to do.  I can also get screen shot for this too which would be easier than just drawing it.

Go Animate

For simplicity I chose 5 out of 5 because I thought it was easy to understand and not that complicated to do. It shows you step by step while your doing the video. 


Characters on go animate were okay. It would be better if we could create our own characters on the Go animate. The reason I chose 3 was because the character were okay and it be better if we could create the character. I thought it was very easy to use because you have everything and all you need to do is insert the things your gonna put on your video. There are only like 6 characters you can insert on your video.


Themes on Go animate are cartoon themes which would be fun for a 6th grader to watch.The go animate had backgrounds you could also change to any background you. You can insert music to you video or any type of sound effects. So it would be easier to do a theme.

Day 2 investigation reflection

Today in technology class I  decided to create a video to help a 6th grader learn more about the design cycle.  I found out that there are many tools to help and make a video. I have researched http://domo.goanimate.com/ it shows you how to make videos. I also decided to do a flip book its not that hard it would be much more easier to do all you have to is draw. Or you can also get screen shots for the flip book that would be easier to understand than the drawings. These are the two thing I am going to do to help a 6th grader understand the design cycle it will be clear and simple.
