 * Hey! Would you like to check out other pages of my portfolio?**
 * Portfolio Introductory,
 * Investigate,
 * Plan,
 * Create
 * Evaluate

Hello and Welcome to my Evaluate page! What I am doing now is Evaluating. I am showing my work through out this portfolio but that is not all I am doing I am also showing my steps which I have taken using the Technology Design Cycle. Although Evaluate is not my favorite part of the cycle I still enjoy it. I like to produce my work and present it rather its using the portfolio method or internet site etc. The evaluate reflection is all about the movie, the portfolio, reflection, brainstorm and storyboard. For the reflection we could choose one question from 3 categories and the questions where listed easiest to hardest. For the first question I choose the hardest then for the second I chose the medium one and for the last question I chose the hardest. I really enjoyed this step.
 * Introductory**

I did not meet that many ESLR's for this part of the project but I did meet one. I met Academic Achiever because I am achieving my work my by making this page. I don't think I am a self-directed learner, critical thinker, or effective communicator. But I do think I am and Involved Citizen because I am involved in this class and I am involved in this wikispace.
 * ESLR's**


 * Reflection: Evaluate**


 * Which part of the project (Investigate, Plan, Create, Evaluate) did you like best and which did you like least? Why? What would you like to change about the assignment if you were a teacher? Why?** My favorite part of the technology design cycle is Create. I liked create the best because that is the part where you can actually make the thing / project which your making. The other parts are just Investigating about what you going to do, planning how you doing it and evaluating it which is achieving and that’s when your satisfied with your work. I really enjoyed this Create because that was the climax of the project. I always like the main points of a project. I don’t like to plan it or research about it; I just want to make it! I guess that answers the other question. The part about this project which I like least is Investigate. I don’t like investigate because that’s like researching about your topic. I don’t like researching about the topic but I have to, to actually make it because I can’t really make a project that doesn’t have any main point. Investigate is not the only one I don’t like I also don’t like Evaluate. The only reason why I don’t like it is because in this part of the project we are making a portfolio which I don’t like. I don’t like portfolios because you have to show the process in your project for each step in the technology design cycle. Something I would do different if I was the teacher of the assignment is: for the iMovie part I would have thought the class about iMovie, I wouldn’t just give them a sheet to see how much they know about iMovie and I wouldn’t just except them to plan what they’re going to do and plan it without knowing how to make I because what if some of my students don’t know anything at all about iMovie? Then obviously they need help. This was the situation I was in..that’s why I was asking so many questions.


 * What were your strengths and weaknesses during this project? Why and how?** One of my weaknesses during this project was making the iMovie. Making the movie was very hard for me since had never made one before, I didn’t have any instructions and I was just told to sit down and do my work. (in a nice way of course) I did outcome my weaknesses thought by working on them which made me better and asking a lot of questions. I didn’t really have any other weaknesses because was quite familiar with “inspiration”, word and wikispaces. As I just mentions my three strengths during this project: “inspiration”, word and wikispaces. These are my strengths because I am very familiar with them and I have worked with them a lot especially word and wikispaces. We have used word a lot in this IT quarter for reflections, storyboards and research. We have used the wikispaces to communicate with the people in New Zealand, work on our personal pages and out portfolio.


 * How did you grow as a learner during this project? Think about more than just the technology skills you learned.** Throughout this project I have learned a lot of subtopics under a topic. I have learned how to make and iMovie which is the topic and then the subtopics are the transitions, effects and audio. I have learned how to add clips in on the timeline / storyboard. I have learnt how to add effects to the clip and transitions between clips. Not speaking technology I have also learned than an iMovie can be used for any type of project for any subject, not just IT. I have learned that brainstorming is very useful for making a project because it’s like a concept map which deices what you’re going to put in it. Throughout the whole project I have learned so much!
