G10 A-3 TechClass #10

Welcome to class #10!

Today we will start working on Create stage. Please visit the G10 Due dates webpage to plan your time wisely.

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 create the product)
  • notes regarding any changes made: e.g. added a step, changed the order of tasks, changed the tools, 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 create your product
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?

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

G10 A-3 TechClass #7

Good morning!!!

Last class you finished Investigation by completing your assignment (you could use the G10 Investigation Draft doc) and you submitted your work by following the Steps to submit your assignments.

Today please start working on Design.

  • Include a variety of different designs/proposed solutions  (at least 3)
  • Explain every part of each ideas/product solution
  • For explaining your designs, please use different techniques like story boards, sketches, labelled diagrams with explanations, etc.
  • Evaluate each design critically against the design specifications (assess what design specs each design complies with or not)
  • Choose one design to build
  • Justify your choice
  • Evaluate your performance in the design stage of the project.

You can use the Design Folder Checklist as a guide not to leave anything out of your Design Stage.

Remember to check the G10 Due Dates to stay on task.

Record what you accomplish today, what's your plan for next class, any issues you had to overcome, etc in your Process Journal.

Thank you!
