G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #20

Today please work on your Investigation stage. Visit last classes' blog posts:

G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #17

G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #18

G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #19 to review what needs to be included in this stage (state the problem, relate to AOI, guiding questions, answers evidencing research, design specifications, testing your product, etc.)

Based on your answers to Project 2 Activity 1 Form, I have listed the tour stops for each group in the List: Project 2 - G10 Tour Stops. Names and stops are highlighted in blue and red respectively.


Carefully define your "TOUR STOP"  design specifications as they will be the back bone of the rest of the project. Investigation is due today. Look at Due Dates for Project 2 and plan accordingly.


Don't forget to enter your progress today in your Process Journal and turn in your Investigate stage following the steps to submit and assignments! 

G10 - 2nd Semester Tech Class #2

Following our conversations last class, this is the first blog post for our G10 MYP Technology class (2nd Semester)!

Please take some time to browse around the MYP Technology website and find/review information about the course, schedule, assessment criteria, expectations, assignment standards, how to submit your assignments and policies among others.

I have also posted the updated A/B days calendar in the MYP Technology website's home page.

Following the IB MYP Technology curriculum (Group 8) , we will be using the core tool: Design Cycle.

Please read in detail the information available at these links.

For further understanding and reflection on the Design Cycle, please read the article below so we can discuss it in class.
Breaking The Design Cycle: Get Creative To Be Creative




Looking into every stage of the Design Cycle, we will make a mind map showing what "happens" in each stage. Let's start with Investigation!

Resources you can use are: 
MYP Technology Website, IB MYP Technology, Design Cycle Graph and Design Cycle Checklist among others that you will need to find!
