1. Process Journal

2. Include tools and techniques you used to create your game

3. Time management: Did you follow your time plan? How?

Remember you can make updates to those stages and re-submit the graded stages for a second assessment for that stage.

As stated in the Assignments Standards, if you make changes and/or updates to your documents please please please use the Track Changes feature (what is this?) so it is evident how you further developed the stage.

If you are working on The Cloud, you can read more about this feature in the Google Docs Blog entry on Tools for Viewing Docs Revisions.
