M5 Gift Project

15/8/12

Today we discussed the Problem,

Local people in Tanzania have lno social welfare system when they do not have a job. This creates social welfare problems in preventing people supporting families and making a living.

This relates to me as i buy gifts from craftsmen to give to people and feel that this ios a respected trade to be in and should be encouraged for others to follow

This will help the individuals earn a living and improve their lives.

The Area of interaction I have chosen is Human Ingenuity because..................

Technology Project Check list

Design Folder Checklist

Investigate Identify the problem

 I have made dated journal entries in my process journal..

 I have described the problem as I understood it

 I have written an explanation on why the problem is important, relating it to my life.

 I have written an explanation on why the problem is important, relating it to society.

 I have written how and why solving this problem is relevant to the A.O.I.’s?

 I have written down and discussed appropriate questions (at least 4) that will guide my investigation (including one(s) given by my teacher).

Some of the questions that are considered are:

o What are some of the different ways I could present this product?

o What materials would be suitable for presentation? Etc

o Who will my client be?

o What does the client want? (Interview with the client is for this purpose ..)

o …………………………………………………..

o ………………………………………………

 I have included surveys, questionnaires etc that I have used in the investigation section and the survey /questionnaire responses are analysed.

Develop your Design Brief

 I have written down a design brief: Explaining what I am going to do to solve the problem (Refer to the Design Brief work sheet).

 I have done research (using my guiding questions and design brief):

 It is clear from my research notes what I have learned in my investigation.

 I have clearly organised my research in a proper format (question/answer format is advised) with the answers written in paragraph form.

 I have included references to the sources of information in the answers (footnotes) and a bibliography in proper format (MLA) is attached at the end of the investigation section.

 I have referred to at least four different types of resources in the investigation section.

 I have used supporting evidence such as quotes, photos, illustrations, and graphs and all those are and referenced (cited) appropriately.

 I have evaluated my sources of information ( I have explained why I chose them and justified their use ).

 I have formatted my bibliography using these tools ( citationmachine.net , ebiblio.com..)

Design Specifications

 I have concluded the investigation by formulating design specifications. I have included a table of essential and desirable characteristics. I have written down design specifications which my product/solution must meet.

 I have Designed and explained test(s) which I will use in order to test my finished product against my specifications.

 I have kept notes in process journal about how well I worked, problems encountered, and use of time - to be used in the evaluation.

Design

 I have included a variety of designs.

 I have explained all parts of my design/ solution .

 For explaining my designs, I have used many techniques like story boards, sketches, labelled diagrams with explanations etc

 I have evaluated each design critically against the design specification (questionnaire might be the easiest)

 I have justified the selection of a particular design.

 I have evaluated my performance in the design stage of the project.

 I have kept notes in process journal about how well I worked, problems encountered, and use of time - to be used in the evaluation.

Plan

 I have included a time line with Gantt chart ( Gantt chart should show planning and scheduling tasks over time )

 I have included a step by step plan ( How the project will be carried out )

 I have included evidence for my planning about material/tools and resources usage.

 I have critically evaluated my time plan. I have tried to answer the following questions

o Was the plan was detailed enough and why?

o Could it be followed by someone else and why?

o Have I used all the resources available to me?

 I have justified any modifications that seem necessary at this stage to my original design.

 I have kept notes in process journal about how well I worked, problems encountered, and use of time - to be used in the evaluation.

Create

Make the product and show evidence of the following

 I have made dated journal entries in my process journal..

 I have explained the tools and techniques used in the process of creation.

 I have included evidence in the creation phase that I have followed my time plan.

 I have justified any changes I made to my plan during the creation phase.

 I have included screen shots and other photographic evidences of the key phases of creation.

 I have made notes regarding any changes I made eg added a step, changed the order, changed the technique, used another resource, didn't need a resource, didn't finish what was planned etc..

 I have kept notes in process journal about how well I worked, problems encountered, and use of time - to be used in the evaluation.

Evaluate

 I have included the feedback received from my testers /user in proper format.

 I have analysed the results of questionnaires if any used for testing my product / solution.

 I have included a detailed evaluation of my own performance at each stage of the design cycle by discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each stage. I have included my observations on how each stage could have been improved.

 I have compared my predicted time plan with the actual and gave reasons for the changes

 I have included a discussion on the impact of my product on me, others and/or the environment.

 I have kept notes in process journal about how well I worked, problems encountered, and use of time - to be used in the evaluation.

Attitudes in Technology  I have displayed enthusiasm, motivation and initiative in completing this project

 I have worked well both in class and outside the class

 I have met all the deadlines

 I have kept notes in process journal about how well I worked, problems encountered, and use of time - to be used in the evaluation.

evaluate

• develop a range of tests that focus on the user

• publish a website on the Internet

• report on the potential impact of marketing the product/solution

• make use of feedback from users

• detail improvements in the making of the product

attitudes

create

• select and use equipment and/or techniques independently

• select and utilize appropriate software

• make appropriate choices of materials.

• follow detailed logical steps created by themselves or other students

• make independent changes to designs

• justify all decisions.

• work to produce a product/solution of quality appropriate to year 5

Main topic

investigation

consider problems and their solutions in relation to their possible impact on life, society and the environment

• independently formulate questions when investigating a problem

• devise problems and develop design briefs

• specific research on; materials and their properties, existing designs, peoples opinions, tools and equipment,

• independently identify meaningful questions

• carry out literature and web searches, develop questionnaires and survey selected audiences information on materials, possible gift ideas, manufacturing techniques.

• select and organize appropriate sources and evaluate them.

• identify ways of testing a solution or product on a specific audience or the intended user

• produce a listing of detailed specifications.
