Reflection/Plan

What did you do today on your PSA? 
What I did today was that I started brainstorming who would be in my video what it is going to be about and how I plan on making the message be clear to the audience not confusing. I also learned that iMovie got updated(has more features) which will aid me in creating a better final product. It is also an easier method to do because it already has the steps for you, you just have to fill them in.
What is your plan for next time?


Next time I come I will try to write the roles of the actors and plan out the whole scene, so I can actually know what I am doing and what I will have to be working on the most. I will also plan out what days I should do the steps, so that in the end I won't rush and give an incomplete assignment.

What grade would you give yourself using your attitudes in technology Criterion F.
The grade I would give myself for the attitudes in technology would be an 8 because I would help my peers, but sometimes I would get distracted and that lowered my expectations which resulted in my grade of an 8. I would also be late on updating assignments on time, yet I still completed them.

PSA Poster/brochure-  What grade would you give yourself?
I would give myself an A because I did research what I had in mind and put it in the brochure except the problem I encountered was that of printing it, but I finally printed it and got it turned in. 

Design Brief

1. What issue/ topic did you choose? 

The topic I chose is Digital Access.

2. Why is this important?

Digital Access is important because without it technology wouldn't exist and there would be no advancements and society would probably go down with it to. Digital Access also helps us communicate to others and without it how would we take to those relatives that aren't close by?With this Digital Access is important in may ways for it shapes our own society.

3. Who do you want to reach? (target audience)

My audience would be everyone because even though some won't be listening it might change them or others around them.

4.What is the behavior your looking to change?

5.Why doesn’t the audience already engage in this behavior?

6.What emotional appeal can you make?

7.Belonging; Power/Control; Fun: Safety;

8.Put your audience in a situation/scenario where the issue would come up in their lives.

9.Where are they? (setting)

10.Who is there? (characters)

11.What’s’ going on around them?  ( ambient sound)

12.What are they saying? (dialogue)

13.Who is message brought to you by? ( Station; organization)

Plan

What is your plan today to create and begin your PSA using your storyboard?
        What I plan today is to brainstorm what I am going to include in the video and see how it will fit in with the time given in the iMovie. I also plan on making the video comprehending, so that the audience won't get confused on what I want them to understand. With this I will have started with my first step to the creation of my video.

Digital Access

1. What are the options for better Access?
 To get better access overall the society has to agree to give equal technology all over the place so that they can be updated and no one can be lacking the knowledge of technology.

2. Explain the Final Recommendations? My final recommendations for better access to technology would be to make organizations that research on what parts of the society are lacking technology and raise money or are donated devices that will help the part in need to keep up. With this it will help society have all places with better access.

3. What could be done to increase internet access and create more choices for communities nationwide?
Organizations and donations to these places with better technology or the government should give money to education, so that the children there can learn of the now technology.

4. What actions need to be taken to keep the internet open for users and innovators? Schools should have advanced technology and show the student how to use it so from there the student can familiarize and can get ideas on how to improve the device which would help technology in advancement.

Attitude

ATTITUDE:

27. Reflect on your attitude on each step of the Design Cycle. Did you completely answer each step without complaining, being a whiny baby, or saying "it's too hard". Explain your answer: I didn't complain about having to do a lot for this project even though there was many steps we had to accomplish and include in this assignment . Sometimes I didn't feel like doing the steps, but then I decided to do it because if I don't do it then it will get piled up with other things I have to complete in the Design Cycle. 

28. What grade do you deserve on your attitude? (1 - 6) I deserve a 5 in my attitude because I didn't complain , but sometimes I didn't want to do it so that lowered me to a 5 instead of a 6.

Evaluate

EVALUATE:

20. How could you improve your presentation? I could have spent my time more wisely on the project and the results would have been more efficient. I could have also searched more ideas that would have been more effective towards the 6th graders learning.  

21. Does your presentation meet all of the requirements? My presentation meets all the requirements and with this it made me successful to make a Digital Flip Book.     

22. Share your presentation with at least 2-8^th, 3-9^th, 4-10^th+ friends. What did he/she like about your presentation? My presentation was liked by the 7th grader by its simplicity and the way it was organized. They also liked the fact that it was simple to read and understand what the Design Cycle was about. They also liked that it was a book and that it was on the computer. 

23. Reflect on all the steps of the Design Cycle. What did you do well? What do you need to improve? On the Investigate Stage I only looked up two things so I should have looked for more and I might have had a better project. What I did well on is on knowing what I wanted to do so I just looked that up. On the Design Stage I got my 3 designs and I had to choose one design and I chose to do a flip book. I could have gotten more designs but I didn't look more up. On the Plan Stage I did well on the GANTT Chart , but what I could have improved on was to actually do the steps on how I put them in the Design Cycle. On the Create Stage I made my Flip Book which took me time to do but I got it done. The things I could have improved on is that I should have already had images and the meanings of each step which I didn't have. In the Evaluate Stage I did well and I think I could have improved on all the other parts of the Design Cycle.  

24. Were you responsible in using the software, Internet, pictures, and computer? Yes I only looked up what I needed and nothing else. If I looked up other things then I would have drifted off to other things and not would have completed this project. 

25. How can my learning help my community? My learning can help other people learn about the Design Cycle and this will help them be more organized in a project or assignments they have. The Design Cycle will also be used in school so it will benefit you in already knowing an idea of what the Design Cycle is.

26. What grade do you deserve on this project? (1 - 6) I think I deserve a 5 because I did well but not extraordinary to get a 6. I think there was many space for improvement and that I could have done better in this assignment. I also included all the steps in the Design Cycle which will help people understand the Design Cycle.
