Resarch

Digital access- 

• is starting to use by kids in grades kinder to 12. 
• more and more are starting to use technology.
• less textbooks are being use every year.
• teachers are using technology to teach their students.
• students use social websites to do or share homework.

REFLECTION

today i created the questions for the 6th graders and what did they learn. we are also starting to see how we are going to do the video.

QUESTION

1. DID YOU LIKE THE VIDEO?
2. WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP OF THE DC?
3. WHAT COMES AFTER CREATE?
4. HOW MANY STEPS?
5. WHAT COMES AFTER INVESTIGATE?
6. WHAT COMES AFTER PLAN?
7. WHAT IS EVALUATE?

 My total is 425 minutes to finish my project is about 60 a day.

• 10/3-60min creation of video
• 10/4-60min creation of video
• 10/5-60min creation of video

10/6-60 minutes-1:25-edit song

10/7-60 minutes-1:25-molody/harmony

10/8-60 minutes-1:25-materials

10/9-60 minutes-1:25-put everything together (song)

10/10-60 minutes-1:25-test and get results from 6th graders.

my design brief, design specifications & test for my 

10. Write a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it. 

Formulate a Design Specification well i'm going to use my own camara to make a music video.

11. What are the requirements for this assignment? well  i'm suppossed to use the desing cycle to complete my project.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment? very low time and video has to be perfect.

13. How will you "test" your project? by creating  many prototypes and lookin for minor errors. 

Design 2

This is when i start thinking of the making of a funny video but most of the people i know don't really want to do it.

Design 1

First i was going to make a video with just pictures that shows what i like about life.

Animoto

Animoto is a little harder to use because is more complex video maker. But i will use this site to make my project because i want more expirence at this.

QUALITY: 7 because is a high quality video.

SOUND: 7 is pretty good sound definition.

EFFECT: 5 is hard to add any effects to the video.

EASY METHOD: 9 is really easy to use. 

This means that it has the lowest points but i will like to work with it. i think animoto is more complex so i will use this site to do my project. 

             After seeing all the rest of the sites i have decided to use animoto because i might work for what i need. like i said i'm going to make a music video with danny (D'Rizzle). this is going to cool because i have never done this. i really hope this comes out good.

CLIPGENERATOR

                            This site is really easy to use but since is easy i would like to use something else.  

Quality: 6 is low in definition.

Sound: 7 the sound that this site has is better definition in sound than most of the other sites.

Effect: 7 a various of things that this site lets you do to your video for example the color effect.

Easy Method: 8 this site is really easy to use because you just choose a song then the pictures finally you make the video.

Clipgenerator  is easy to use and has very little freedom in what song to use. I have decided to work D'Rizzle to make a music video and this site doesn't really let us choose the song. If the other site i have choose to work with does not work i guess i will have to use this one.

                  What like about clipgenerator  is the way you can make your video and the effects made by it. but this is way to easy to use then i will not learn anything. there is way to much other sites to work with so i do not know if i can use them i need to ask ms. Hinojosa. so like i said this is cool because i get to learn new things thats why i think is really cool. so i'm still thinking of working with D'Rizzle to making a music video. i've never done it this before so i'm going to learn new things and this might help me later when i'm older.

In the creation of a music video i would have to compare two different sites that were provided. I must choose the best in order to create the music video then identify it using the design cycle which  include: Investigate- look for information about my project. Design- i would go into the site that i had chosen to do my project. Plan- keep working on my project but already created part of it.

Area of Interaction: Community and Service , Approaches to Learning & Human Ingenuity

Unit Question: How can my learning help my community? How do I make Sound Choices?

INVESTIGATE: (Write in complete sentences) Identify the Problem

1. What is the problem you need to solve? Explain to a 6^th grader what the design cycle is all about by creating a presentation. (3d, PPT, movie, game, Poster)

2. How does the Design Cycle apply to the real world?

3. How will this project serve my community?

4. How can my learning help my community?
