G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #18

Today we will begin Project 2! The dynamic will be the following:

• Regroup for this project with someone who you haven't work with during Project 1.
• discuss as a class where / how will we identify the stops needed for the Tour?
• one stop per group will be assigned
• create a map of your assigned tour stop
• create a storyboard and script of what your  tour stop will be about
• choose the application/tool that you think best suits your needs: website, video, animation, voicethread, etc
• shoot video, take pics, conduct interviews, etc to get the content needed and synthesize it digitally
• compile all links/postings together
• share with me/upload the final product (movie, animation, etc)
• get an URL for it
• create a QR Code  to access the URL
• use a QR Code to identify the stop
• fully test QR Codes, links, postings, videos, etc
• print and laminate a big QR Code for your tour stop (1/4 letter size page and write your names on the back after laminating it)
• install QR Codes @ tour stops
• add all virtual tour stops to our wiki (What is this?)

Let's start thinking about the following for our Project 2:

• what are QR Codes?
• why use QR Codes?
• QR codes bring Museum tours to life (Article)
• who would the audience be?
• what would they expect to get from the tour?
• what stops/places are we looking into listing in our tour?
• why?
• what are the highlights of WA that you think should be included in the tour?

Please post your answers to this Form.

Using Top-down and Bottom-up strategies start planning how will you make the map of the school as our starting point and plan to add/zoom into your Tour Stop. Please take a look at these:

• making a map of the school using Google SketchUp
• Have a look at the K-12 Education SketchUp Gallery
• You can also explore this MindCraft Wiki for ideas

G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #16

Following our G10 Due dates webpage, today will work on Evaluate stage. Please use all the information and feedback from users/audience/players that you collected yesterday and the day before during the advisory periods when you tested your products following the agree schedule:  G10 project 1 Implementation during Advisory

I am posting below a slideshow of the pictures I took during this project. Feel free to use them to compare your original chosen design against the final product you created. If you have any photos that you have taken, please share them with me so I can add them to the slide show for Project1.


G10 Working Bees: 2011-2012 G10 Technology Project 1: Digital Citizenship



Evaluate stage is due today:  

• Include the feedback received from the testers/users/players.
• Analyse results of questionnaires if any used for testing your product / solution.
• Include a detailed evaluation of your performance at each stage of the design cycle by discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each stage. 
• Include ideas on how each stage could have been improved.
• Compare the predicted time plan with the actual and give reasons for the changes (include graph and annotations)
• Compare the chosen Design with the actual product and give reasons for the changes (include original design sketch and final product sketch/pic)
• Include a discussion on the impact of the product on yourselves, others and/or the environment.

Remember that you can an always use the Design Folder Checklist to make sure your Evaluate stage is complete.
