Evaluation

For this term in information technology, I learnt about digital citizenship. I learnt the nine elements of digital citizenships which are: Digital Access, Digital Literacy, Digital Health and Wellness, Digital Etiquette, Digital Communication, Digital Commerce, Digital Law, Digital Rights and Responsibilities and finally Digital Security. I did a little search about each, just to define the meaning of each and understanding them. After I did that was assigned to research about Digital Access. I decided to make a PowerPoint presentation about digital access.

Before I start the PowerPoint I had to follow the MYP Design Cycle I was required to do. I started to research information for my investigation. I followed the guidelines on the DigiTeen wiki. I found answers for all the guiding questions on the wiki, with help from Yazan. Yazan was my partner in this project but then somehow he ended up with the group that was doing videos about bullying. Using the information found in the investigation, I gathered them and used it in my PowerPoint. After I finished the first step of the MYP Design Cycle I moved on to the second step which is the Design. I design a story board for the PowerPoint presentation which I handed in at the same time as my investigation. I had no trouble doing it at all and it actually didn’t take that much time. I finished the story board in one lesson.

After planning everything out, it was time to create. I kept a process journal, and wrote an entry every week. Day by day I’d add to the journal the things I did in class and the steps that I took to complete this project. While I was doing the process journal I included some screen shots of what I did in that week. I think that my PowerPoint will help others realize the problem that is occurring in the world, where some people don’t have access to the internet. And when they don’t have access to the internet then it would be harder for them to communicate with people around the world and learn new things about other places and people.

Design Brief:

To solve this problem I'm going to create a powerpoint, to explain some ways you can help digital access. I decided to make a short 3-5 minute powerpoint presentation, to help others see the problem that people are facing towards digital access. I'm going to include in it how people are using digital access positivly and negativly and the consequences of that. I'm also going to give real examples of digital access. After I explain all that I will give some possible solutions. I did some research about this project and topic, and posted it in the Flat Classroom Project, in the Digital Access page. The link to this page is one top of this blog.

Design Specification:

• has to be about 3-5 minutes
• has to be done by everyone in the group
• has to have pictures
• has to have good educational information

Journal Entry

WEEK ONE
Today I researched about digital access. I learned that digital access is when you have the access to digital items and contact the outer world. For example the internet. Actually the internet is the most common digital access able tool there is. I found some interesting information about digital access. I found a website that had good information for the background of digital access. I also found a lot of other websites that were useful and I shared them with my partner so he could use them as well and add more to the digiteen wiki.

WEEK TWO

We finished the digital wiki and I started on my story board. That didn't take so long. After I finished my story board, I started typing the other parts of the investigation. After I finished typing it, I printed it and submitted it to the teacher. I had to resubmit it two times because I forget to include things. I printed my investigation and my story board and handed it again.

WEEK THREE

Today I started on my Powerpoint presentation. I followed my story board and used the information that I found when I was researching my investigation. I found some pictures to match each slide. So basically, what I worked on this week was the powerpoint. I did my part of the powerpoint, and when I asked Yazan if he did his part he told me he is now with the video group. So I had to do all the of the powerpoint and the evaluation.
