23rd February, 2010

Today, I helped Hamdan with his project. I wanted to start mine but since Hamdan has a lot of editing to be done, I wanted to help him make the video first and then start my project. We now have a good plan on what we will say and also have part of the script. All that remains is finishing the script, finding a location to film and filming. After that, we will start editing the video and we'll be done in no time. Next lesson I will start doing my plan, finish the design and finish the research. I will maybe start researching a home over the weekend since there are no lessons this week. We really need to get the video out of the way. It takes the longest time to work on with all the editing. I hope we can film over the weekend. For more info, go to Hamdans Blogger...

22nd February, 2010 - Starting the Create Stage

Today we turned in our plans and are now starting the create stage. This includes starting the process journal. I am going to make a video about the use of touch-screens in technology and how it is useful in school. This website is going to be made on iWeb. On the Website, I am going to have useful information about the technologies, about the kinds of touch-screens and about the application in school life.

Our group consists of the following members:

Hamdan - Video

Ali - Lesson

Felix - Website/Public Relations

This group is able to produce very good products and finish the project within the given time. The whole project has to be done by March 4th, a close deadline but I am very confident that I am able to make it. What I am a little bit worried about is the video that Hamdan is making. The bar is set very high and he wants to add in a lot of features that are both time consuming and very hard to make. This video will also be on the website and I am not sure if we will be able to add it in on time.

My plan works as follows:

1. Finish the design so that everything fits the way I want it to

2. Find all the information

3. Convert the information to text

4. Add the text to the design

5. Find Pictures

6. Add in the pictures

7. Add in the Video

8. Receive feedback - this will happen throughout the whole project

9. Improve it - this will happen throughout the whole project

10. Publish it

11. Present it!!!

But otherwise, I am confident about the project and that we will be able to finish it off.
