Year 11, remember that if you are using PowerPoint 2010 - you must use the advanced features.

1.No typing mistakes - remember that you have control over this.  Turn on the spell check and if in doubt, pull out a dictionary and look the word up to see if it is spelled correctly. http://blogmines.com/blog/2010/10/27/how-to-enable-check-spelling-as-you-type-feature-in-powerpoint-2010/

Year 11, these are some of the features that I hope can help you.

Remember this Year 11 project should be student directed;-)

Learning Objective: The student will: use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently; ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others; follow the plan to produce the product/soltuion; evaluate the plan and justify any changes to the plan (when necessary); and create a product/solution of appropriate quality.

Now, it's on to the CREATE - Criterion D (Maximum 6)

Criterion D: Create Maximum 6
Students are expected to document, with a series of photographs or a video and a dated record, the process of making their product/solution, including when and how they use tools, materials and techniques.

Students are expected to follow their plan, to evaluate the plan and to justify any changes they make to the plan while they are creating the product/solution.

To get a 6 the student: competently uses appropriate techniques and equipment. The student follows the plan and justifies any modifications made, resulting in a product/solution of appropriate quality using the resources available.

Your assignment is as follows:
1.Follow your plan to create your game.   (Use your plan like a checklist and keep track of what went right and what went wrong;-)
2.You will need a "process journal" to submit along with your create. (Create a Process Journal using Google Docs, or a Word document include printscreens of your activity).
3.Finally, write a paragraph saying if your plan worked. Write a paragraph explaining any modifications you made. If you didn't make any modifications, please include a sentence saying that you didn't make any modification.

IB Learner Profile:  Knowledgable

Project Management - Planning

Year 10, it's time to plan. Criterion C - PLAN


According to MYP Technology, "Students are expected to construct a plan to create their chosen product/solution that has a series of logical steps, and that makes effective use of resources and time.

Students are expected to evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design."

To get a 5/6: The student produces a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describe the use of resources and time. The student critically evaluates the plan and justifies any modifications to the design.

Remember to use Project Management tools and vocab;-)
