Evaluation

The solution I came up with was a fine solution to my problem about wireless. It is a solution that meets my goals and my design specification. It is a solution that is creative, light and powerful at the same time. My problem was that a laptop loses connection and is heavy to carry everywhere. Therefore, the creation of the windows sunglasses 2020 solved my problem.

This product can improve my life because it will make it easier for me to research or complete anything online for school or for me. I can submit my papers to turnitin.com anytime I want and anywhere I want or get my bibliographies for any project in class if I am missing them. It can help others too by benefiting them in their work. For example, if someone is researching about plants, he can complete his research and submit it online while he is looking at the same plant he is writing about in the middle of the jungle where there is no possible connection for a laptop. It can also benefit the society majorly by making the wireless more useful and way easier to use.

My product turned out to be good which I know from the many comments I got from classmates and viewers of the video. This tells me that my video made a change in some minds and a good one too, taking it from their positive comments. A better solution than mine would be to find a lighter and better device to use for wireless internet. This would be rare to find because I think I did a good job by choosing a sunglass, which people wear many times. My solution can be improved though. I could’ve improved in my investigation, design and plan by putting some more effort and some more time in them. I could have gotten a better solution if I did.

My performance in each of the stages in this project changed. In the beginning it was a slightly negative performance, which scraped me some passes. In the end though, I did a better job. The problem was that I did not use my time wisely. I wasted some time in some stages, which got me a low grade. I submitted everything on date though, but most of the work was poor. This poor work was at the first three stages: investigate, design and plan. After that though, I did a good job by using my time wisely and putting some effort in my work. This made me do a good video and a good create stage. Next time I do a project though, I will remember to start from the beginning and use my time wisely as well as put some effort in my work. My result will probably be positive most of the time and better than what I got in this project.

Reflection

This year in out information technology class, we were sorted into groups. Each group had to search about the topic that was given to them. My group involved two people with me in this project. We worked together and did a great job. Our topic was digital literacy. We worked continuously until we came up with this information that you can see in the web that we did. The only problem in our group was that we did not use our time wisely. Other than that, we were a good team, working fast and coming up with great information.

In this digiteen action project, our topic was digital literacy as I said before. Digital literacy is basically the ability of reading and writing. Anyone that can do both can do digital literacy. As for modern digital literacy, one example of it are computers. We got all of this information by researching about digital literacy, we researched about many things about it and came up with many answers to many questions like what is digital literacy or why do we use digital literacy. Our target audience for digital literacy were the primary students because they are young, but old enough to understand what is wrong and what is right. That's why we explained plagiarism, which is a huge problem in high school these days with many students and they should know about it so they don't do it later in the future. It was a relief that we were successful in what we wanted to accomplish. The young students looked like they were not thinking of doing any plagiarism after what they heard from us. I think other schools should do this too, so they can make better futures for the young students. Unfortunately, like i said before, our team did not use the time given to us wisely. If we did, we could've made a better job, but still, I think we did a great job and better than that would be no less than perfect.

I think that digital citizenship is a great thing to discuss in schools. Many people use our modern digital objects in a very bad way. This is why i think that young students should always learn the right way of using our modern technology. For example, take computers. Many cyberbullying is happening around the world on the internet. Another major problem from the internet is plagirizing, which is a huge crime. I think that students should be taught not to do any of these things. This also infers to my learnings in this project. i think the most important thing i learned from this project is that no one is better than the other. People who plagirize take another person's work, but i don't think this other person is better than the person that plagirized. If the person that plagirized just tried his best, he would've come up with great ideas too. As for cyberbullyin, the bullies are not better than the people that they're bullying. It is a wrong thing and if the bullied get bullied, they would not like it too.
