G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #44

Following our eye on the G10 Due Dates for Project 2, today your robot needs to at least move forward for 2 seconds. 


I will be assessing your robot and group work to give your group a grade on progress.

Please continue working on Create stage building your robot according to the details you planned in the combined Design / Plan.

Don't forget to make your journal entry of the day.

Thanks!

G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #43

Please continue working on Create stage building your robot according to the details you planned in the combined Design / Plan assignment using one box / kit per group and follow the specifications posted on:

If you have class after testing, please start working on Create stage.

Start working building your robot according to the details you planned in the combined Design / Plan assignment using one box / kit per group.

For this stage it is super important to look into these:

1. Your complete Process Journal with :

• dated journal entries including Visual Evidence (designs, sketches, screen shots, pictures, etc that show how the steps you took to build your robot)
• notes regarding any changes you needed to make to Design and/or Plan: e.g. added a piece, changed the robot, used another resource, didn't need a resource, didn't finish what was planned etc.
• how did the group work? Did you have any issues? how did you overcome them, if any?

2. Explain what tools and techniques you used to build your robot

3. How was your time management: Have you followed your time plan? How?

4. Have you made any changes to your chosen design? Why? How?

5. Complete your robot following your Design/Plan! :-) 

You can always use the Design Folder Checklist to make sure your Create stage is complete.

Keep an eye on the G10 Due Dates for Project 2 to stay on task.

Don't forget to make your journal entry of the day and  include in it all the screenshots of the process of creating your final product as visual evidence!

Here are a couple Pics from Boston. I will send you more updates during the week :-)

Thanks!

Welcome back! Hope you had a great Spring Break!

Happy first day of Spring!  Look at Google today!



Continuing from last class: G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #24

In Plan stage you will be defining what will be done, when and with what resources. 

Focus on the process of creation of the final product your choose in Design stage.

Remember to include:

• a step by step list of instructions to put together your description of your tour stop- mobile version. (like giving very detailed instructions for someone else to create it for you!) 
• a detailed timeline (for the process of building/creation)
• the resources you will use
• Look at Due Dates for Project 2 and plan accordingly.
• For more info on Plan stage and tools to complete it, please revisit: G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #10

Don't forget to check the G10 Due Dates to stay on task. Plan stage is due today and record your progress in your Process Journal. Thanks!

G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #10

Today we will start working on Plan!

The main idea in the Plan stage is that you can organize yourselves on what will be done, when and with what resources? The Plan stage needs to:

1. make a detailed step by step list of tasks/instructions on how the chosen Design will be created/built (think as if someone else will built/create your product based on these instructions)
2. show a timeline of tasks and resources that will guide you through the next stage: Create. Use the Gantt and CPM (Critical Path Method usually used together with PERT) concepts we talked about in class: simultaneously, overlapping and sequence.
3. Include evidence of planning for materials and resources usage
4. Make any modifications you considered needed to your chosen design

A couple suggested tools for Plan stage can be the following:

• TODOIST :Todoist is a task manager that's useful, fast and easy to use. You can manage a lot of to-dos ... :-)
• TOM'S PLANNER: Tom's Planner allows you to create, collaborate and share Gantt Charts online with drag and drop simplicity. It's extremely intuitive and easy-to-use.
• Take the Tour @ Tom's Planner Quick Tour
• CPM and PERT Charts resource: Mind Tools
• GANTT chart resources:
• Mind Tools (sequencial and parallel activities)
• The Research Whisperer
• Using MS Excel
• Daily Dose of Excel
• Bright Hub

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

G10 - 2nd Semester Tech Class #3

Welcome to the second week of the second semester!

Following our activity last class, we will continue developing the mind map on the Design Cycle. Today we will complete the Design Cycle by working on the stages: Plan, Create and Evaluate.

Continue working collaboratively with your partners to complete the mind map today. The final piece of work is due by the end of this class.

Since this assignment has been developed with a variety of tools that not all of them allow for showing your Design Cycle Mind Map on one screen/image that can be submitted following the how to submit your Assignments in Technology class details, we will present your final products at the end of class.


30 minutes before the period ends all groups will present their Mind Map. Each group will have 5 minutes to present.


Remember what standards your final product needs to include! You can make sure you have a complete assignment by visiting the information posted in the MYP Technology Docs webpage.
