Analysing videos

The class had to comment on any two videos created by the previous classes that did the project and I did realize and acknowledge that every one had great videos that displayed their idea precisely to the point. some went to a further extent and got interviews with the people that were related with their project. This is called outsourcing
we also have to go to this process to accomplish a better project.

This screen shot is just a preview of what the web site looks like.
to enter this web site I joined flatclassroomproject.ning.com
i think this web site it self makes the world flat because its an entertainment with a witness to how people are trying to discover technology that makes that possible.
Every video demonstrates the skill to prove how technology is improving and making the world smaller. so that even if people are miles away, they could feel like neighbors.

Design cycle



The design cycle is a process that all students should follow to complete a successful project.
here are a few ‘standardised’ headings that are associated with the 'Design Cycle’ but the best approach is to use these as a guide and add reviews and analysis into the list at almost all the stages of the design of your product. Obviously the ‘research’ section can carry on to some extent after the main bulk of research has been completed since it can constantly inform what developments or changes you might make. Equally sensible will be for the Ideas to continue to be adapted as the ‘making’ work is carrying on. If your brain stops working as soon as any particular section has been completed then clearly you are not going to get the best out of either yourself or the design features that might be seen in the completed product. after completed with the investigation, design, plan, create and evaluate stage. Ask yourself who you made the product for. Find out the views of others around you and see if the product can be improved - if it can then make proposals as to how it will be done.

Process Journal

Today was the first day with Mr. Jones. Everything was the new, the class the teacher, and the computers. it was all so new and so brilliant. i learnt a little about the MAC pc's and we also did our first task. Our first task was to define what a design cycle was in the MYP studies. we are basically reviewing what a design cycle is. our second task was to evaluate one video that talks about a flat class room video. We had our time to research. The teacher said that we might create movies, slide shows and various other activities and to do all these different tasks we use amazing programs that are new to all he students.
