Evaluation

          I would evaluate myself a 5.5 considering the grade that the 6^th graders got. Considering the circumstances that the 6^th graders were put in, they both acquired a grade of 70 each. I did the necessary and read everything that Ms. Hinojosa posted online. I kept up to date and worked independent. Although I did get some help from my peers and I took criticism in a positive way in order to help me achieve a good learning project. I redid my project several times in order to get to Prezi which I learned form my classmate Deborah.       

          At the very beginning I had chosen to create a video.  As I investigated on them I quickly noticed that they were actually not so easy so I changed it to a flipbook and comic strip. Then I noticed that my flipbook was taking forever because I was in page 120 and burly had investigated. After all that I decided to do Prezi because my classmates were using it and it seemed a lot simpler then what I was doing. I had to go through failure in order to conquer the design cycle. 

      My design was quite a mess because I didn't really focus on it. Since I kept changing my investigation on projects, I did not really consider a design. Although when I did get to Prezi I made a sample one and I told my self what I was going to do each day. On day September 23, I made a chart showing what my ideas were for the flip book and comic strip. As I went through it, I decided that the flip book idea was not going to work. The movement of the pages was going to take too many pages and with little movement. When I decided to do the Prezi I dedicated my time to see how Prezi worked.

          My plan was a simple not very elaborate system that I was using. I created a chart showing what I was going to do each day. Since I changed my two comparisons many times I kept going back and fixing my chart. When I was confused on what was in stored for me that day I would always go back and see my chart. Even though it has the days counted up to seven for each one I took twice that amount. I always had it on the back of my mind that that day would actually take two days. I would also go back to the www.mypdtp.blogspot.com and see what I had to do that day.

            Creating my final decision was actually very fun. As a result of creating this I learned a new way to make a very creative and learning page. Prezi allowed this product to have a learning experience upon the 6^th graders.  In about 30 minutes I had created the whole project and made it very colorful. In my opinion my creation could of  been much more elaborate and maybe longer sentences. Considering it was for the 6^th graders I believe it was very good.

          Evaluating your project is always hard. Even though I did it all as asked I know there was room for corrections because considering what I did do I know that I could have put in a little more effort. At first the whole project was very confusing I had no idea what I had to do. Then as I went back reviewed my study buddy and the class web, I noticed that everything that I needed to know was right there in front of me. So at first I didn’t have anything and what I did have was quite bad so I went back and I redid everything. I believe that this was not just a learning experience for the 6^th graders, but for me too.

          Knowing for a fact that I got to do the Prezi because of my peers I was very appreciative. In technology there was times when I would goof around and not listen, but I always knew when it was time to get serious. At first I hated this project and I was sure I was going to fail the class but I got over it put my positive face on and worked hard. I tried to be as independent as possible and my work was done. I was proud to present my Prezi to the 6^th graders because I knew how much effort went into it.
