Creating The Product

Today I started creating my product using Animoto. I have added the music and text. I need to add the pictures and, the product will be finished. I also created the tables for the evaluate stage. One of them evaluates the process overall and the other evaluates me in Attitudes in Technology.

update on google doc

I currently have a grade of 95 on my google document.  I am missing the areas of interaction like community & service and approaches to learning. In order to improve this grade I have to write the missing sections.

Design

Today I finished the investigation stage by creating a survey to evaluate the product with surveymonkey. I then started the design stage by creating a gantt chart that will help me plan out the product and the dates I will complete each step.  I later started to create the design for my product. Today I used the IB learner profile Inquirer because I asked a lot of questions to ensure that I was doing the tasks correctly. I would like to improve in the IB learner Knowledgable so I don't have to ask so many questions anymore. I would give myself a score of 5 in Attitudes in Technology because I worked hard and caught up with my work even though I was a day behind.

Evaluating Programs

Today I finished evaluating and comparing the programs that could be used to create the video for the final product. Animoto turned out to be more simple and visualy engaging than Smilebox. It allows you add more creativity and effects which is better for the audience. I would give myself a 5 because i was able to complete the comparing part of my investigation and worked digilently.

Comparing Programs

 Today I campared which programs would be best for the presentation of the IB Profile Balanced. I compared Animoto and Smilebox based on elements like simplicity, formating and theme. I then passed the evaluation of the programs into my google docs by creating tables and a paragraph explaining why I chose those elements. I prefered Animoto because it had better music and video quality. I have looked at sample videos that were posted on the website and now i just have to test them out myself. i would give myself a 5 in Attitudes in Technology because i was focused and advanced a lot in my investigate stage.
