Evaluation of Total Project
Investigation was tough because i picked two different projects to compare but each of these were not the best way to approach this problem of teaching six graders. The ones i picked were flip book and comic maker. Both of these were not so good, but i ended up picking flip book.

Plan i approach the step by looking at the different things i can do with flip book and see which would be the best way to fix the problem. And i made 3 different designs and decided which would be the most effective way to fix the problem.

Create step was the step that i figured out that flip book wasn't the best way to fix the problem. The pages on flip book flipped to fast and i only had a limited amount of pages and i should have figured this out in investigation.

Evaluate step was my favorite because it helped me review everything that could help me fix my next project when going through each of the steps. And now when i approach each problem i will review appropriately and patient

Evaluation

Today I was able to finish my final product, create the survey, and test the 7th grade student. Today was a really productive day because I was able to get all of these things done. The project came out pretty well and the survey clearly tested the students understanding of the design cycle. My survey was 3 questions multiple choice and 2 true or false questions. The final product also came out pretty well. I still need to test two more students to really get better result on whether my product is what i want it to be.
My project

This is my final product, it is a video on GoAnimate. The reason my final product is not a flipbook is because I was unable to create a good product because of the lack of space on flipbook to put my information and also because the transition between the pages is to quick. In GoAnimate I was able to put all my information.
I feel that the accent of the character was really difficult to understand, but if you pay close attention then you will be able to understand enough to learn the design cycle.

Evaluation of the survey
The result the 7th grader had was an 80%. He got 4 out of the 5 question correct out of the survey. The student seemed like he understood most of the design cycle but I feel he kind of struggled with the accent of my character in the video. The way that i tested the student helped him because he had options in picking the answer.

Progress



my progress

Today i had to start my project all over again. I switch out of using flipbook because i struggled a lot with fitting the information and the pages changed to quick. I believed that flipbook would not be the best way to teach a 6th grader about it. It wouldn't have been efficient enough.
