    I.T. Evaluation Stage

    1) Show evidence of product (Screenshot or Image):- Animation Video:

    The image above shows a screenshot of my animation video,

    which I wasnt able to do, because I didnt have time to create the

    animation, since I faced many problems and it was very hard to

    solve these problems, especially due to the fact that the online

    tutorials were very little and werent very helpful, and so, above is

    an image of my city in the background, a sky, and a future

    transportation method, the flying car.

    The images above show my website that I created for the project, whichhas important information, such as important images and videos

    connected to the project, general and specific problems, and more.

    Evaluate the Product:

    - Discuss how well this product solves the problem:- If we are talking about the animation video, it is very

    ineffective towards solving the problem, and maybe doesnt even

    help solve the problem in any way, and this is because it was of a

    poor quality, since I was only able to submit an image of myanimation video, and I couldnt create the full animation video in

    time, just like the rest of my classmates, because the program

    was hard to use, we faced a lot of difficulties that we didnt

    have solutions to, because the online tutorials didnt help us

    that much, since they werent a lot, and so, we wasted a lot of

    time just trying to fix and solve small problems, which held us

    back from creating the animation video in time. If I were to

    show this image to someone who finds it difficult to visualize

    and imagine how transportation methods will be and look like inthe future, this image wouldnt help them become more

  • 8/13/2019 Evaluation Stage Omar Ibrahim 10D

    7/22

    Omar Ibrahim 16/1/2014

    10D

    imaginative towards this issue and wouldnt allow them to start

    visualizing all the various future transportation methods and

    how they will look like, because it is just an image of a flying

    car, and so, the result would be that they still will find it

    difficult to visualize and imagine future transportationmethods, causing them to ignore the issue and not care about it,

    and so, transportation methods will remain the same, and the

    world will not develop. But, if I were to show them a full

    animated video that shows and expresses various future

    transportation methods, they will start looking at these

    transportation methods and they will care about them more, and

    so, this will allow them to think about the issue more and

    imagine more various and different future transportation

    methods, because they were attracted to the animation video,resulting in them taking action towards improving transportation

    methods, to solve problems such as traffic, pollution, and more.

    As for the website, I believe that it was of a high quality and it

    included important information that would allow my audience to

    understand the aim of the project, which would help them

    understand the important of the project and the animation

    video. This important information includes the general and

    specific problems, the images used in the project, in addition to

    the videos used in the project. So, the website is the placewhere the audience know more about the project, but the

    website doesnt necessarily make it easier for people to image

    how future transportation methods will be like, since its not

    supposed to do so, but the animation video is. As for the social

    media pages, they are of good quality, since they do have

    comments that I posted, also in English and Arabic, they have

    profile images, they have names which relate to the name of the

    project, and they link to the website and the other social media

    page, but, they werent shared and they dont have any followers

    or viewers or supporters, except one person on the FaceBook,

    which means that they dont really serve their purpose of

    allowing the supporters of the project to communicate on them,

    because there are no supporters. Once again, they are not

    meant or created to solve the problem and allow the audience to

    visualize how the future transportation methods will be like, but

    they are just created for the audience of the project to

    communicate about the project, on them, and so, they are of

    good quality, but they are not meant to solve the problem.

    - Based on your test results, does it meet the designspecifications you wrote in your investigation?

    - If we look at the testing results for the animation video designspecifications, you can see that I was able to achieve only 3

    design specifications out of the 7, which were about the

    animation video being created on Bryce 7.1 Pro, making the

    animation video completely about future transportation

    methods, and making the final product clear and easy-to-

    understand (for the last two design specifications mentioned

    above, I didnt have a full animation, but the product that I

    created at the end, the image, was completely about future

    transportation methods, and nothing else, in addition to that

    the image was clear and easy-to-understand, based on my

    testing results that I got from my audience, and so, for these

    two design specifications, the final image that I created as a

    product is supposed to be equivalent to the animation video). I

    was unable of accomplishing four design specifications for the

    animation video, which were about having the website URL and

    the social media pages URLs on the end of the animation video,

    having the animation video on YouTube, and having a clear and

    easy-to-understand narration over the scenes in the animation

    video. So, the final testing results for the animation video are

    very bad, and this is because, as I mentioned before, I wasnt

    able of making a full animation video in time, just like the rest

    of my classmates, because we faced a lot of conflicts and

    problems when using Bryce, because we didnt know how to use

    the program, and the online tutorials didnt help that much,because they were very old and there werent a lot of them, and

  • 8/13/2019 Evaluation Stage Omar Ibrahim 10D

    15/22

    Omar Ibrahim 16/1/2014

    10D

    so, we had to waste a lot of time just trying to solve problems

    with Bryce, and so, none of us were able to complete the

    animation video in time, and this is why I wasnt able to finish

    most of the animation video design specifications. As for the

    testing results for the design specifications of the website, Iwas able to achieve all 8 of them. One of them, though, is about

    uploading the animation video onto the website, which I said

    that I did achieve, and that is because despite the fact that I

    couldnt create an animation video, I still uploaded my final

    product onto the website, which was the image of the flying car

    animation, and so, I wrote that I did achieve it, because the

    focus on this design specification is not on making the video or

    not, but is about uploading whatever I made onto the website,

    and so, I believe that I did achieve that. As for the designspecifications for the social media pages, I was able to meet 7

    of them, out of 8. The only one that I didnt meet was the one

    about each social media page linking the animation video, which

    should be on YouTube, and as I mentioned, I couldnt achieve

    that because I didnt create an animation video in the first

    place, because I didnt have time to. All the other 7 design

    specifications were met and achieved, and so, I was able to

    achieve the majority of my social media design specifications.

    So, overall, I was able to accomplish most design specifications,but the most design specifications that I wasnt able to

    complete were the animation video design specifications,

    because I didnt have time to create an animation video. (FOR

    THE TESTING RESULTS DONE BY AUDIENCE RATING, I

    WAS ABLE TO MEET THEM BASED ON WHAT I

    MENTIONED IN MY DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS. EG: IF 5

    OUT OF 7 PEOPLE RATE IT AS A 4 OR A 5, THAT

    MEANS THAT I WAS ABLE TO MEET IT).

    - How Could the Final Product be Improved:- Next time, I need to actually make sure that I would finish and

    be able to have a full, complete product, unlike the incomplete

    animation video that I created for this project.

    - If you look at the final image of the flying car that I created asa product, you can see that the city has a weird texture that

    looks unnatural and unrealistic, which is where you can see

    random grey parts in the buildings of the city, as if the city has

    been demolished or destroyed and its insides are showing, which

    10D

    are about, in addition to explaining how they relate to graphics,

    telling a story, of a future vision, which will be shared, for a

    purpose. I also had a full, annotated, and alphabetically organized

    bibliography that mentioned all research sources. I also had design

    specifications for each of the products that I will create, theanimation, the website, and the social media pages, and each of the

    design specifications were written, along with their purpose and

    testing method. So, I believe that I did great in the Investigation

    and did all of what was required from us.

    - Design:For my design stage, I didnt do well in it, which is why I got a 3.

    For the design stage, we were supposed to create 2 designs for

    the animation video, which would show a story and explain it, 2designs for the social media pages, and 2 designs for the

    website. In addition, we needed to talk about the details of the

    designs, such as the purpose of the design, the duration of the

    animation video, the components of the design, and the use of

    the design, in addition to talking about which design

    specifications are met through the design you drew.

    Afterwards, we need to analyze the design, by talking about 3

    positive and 2 negative things in the design, and possible ways

    of improving the negative points, and at the end, we need tochoose which design we want to execute, and why we chose it.

    And then, when we upload our work on Moodle, we need to use a

    third design, created by another student, and analyze it, by

    stating the good and the bad, and how the bad can be improved.

    Unfortunately, I wasnt able to do all of this, because I didnt

    have a lot of time. So, I was able to create 1 design for the

    animation video, 1 design for the website, and 1 for each of the

    social media pages, in addition to talking about the purpose,

    duration, use, and components of each of these designs, in

    addition to writing about which design specifications were met

    in these designs, and which werent. I wasnt able to do anything

    with the analyzing portion, and I wasnt able to choose my final

    design, because I didnt make a second one at all, but I just had

    one design for each of the products. So, as you can see, many

    parts of the Design Stage were missing, but I tried my best,

    and I got a grade that matched the amount of work submitted,

    a 3.

    - Plan:I was able to improve a little bit in the Plan, and I felt that I did

    much better in the Plan than in the Design. I finished all the parts

    necessary for the Plan Stage, but some parts were not of the best

    quality. Firstly, I was able to include all the hardware and softwaretools needed for the project. In addition, I was able to finish all

    the steps needed to create for the animation, for the website, and

    for the social media pages, in addition to how to create these

    steps, tools needed to finish them, importance of the step, and the

    estimated time I think would take to finish each one of these

    steps. Any sources or websites needed for the project were

    mentioned in the steps themselves. I also compared the time given

    for the project to the total estimated time that I expected, to

    finish the whole project, and I talked about whether or not I hadenough time to finish the project, in addition to talking about the

    skills and knowledge that I needed in order for me to successfully

    finish the project. I also talked about the reliability of my Plan and

    how well someone can follow it to create their own similar product,

    and I think that the Plan was very good for someone to follow it.

    The only problem with it, which is why I think I got a 5 instead of a

    6, is that some parts of it are less detailed than they should be.

    For example, after finishing the full table for the steps for

    creating the animation video, I didnt have time to create tablesagain for the website and the social media pages, and so, I just

    wrote down the steps in a list, which made them less detailed and

    less professional, in addition to that the steps for the website and

    the social media pages didnt have the estimated time written for

    them, because I didnt have time to do so, and so, I didnt have an

    indication or estimation of how long it would take me to finish the

    website and the social media pages. So, these few flaws dropped

    me down a little bit, and I was expecting to get that grade,

    because I knew that my performance wasnt at its best.

    - Create:For my Create Stage, I did all right, but it wasnt my best piece of

    work. I was able to finish just a still image of my animation video,

    which is the main reason why I didnt get a very good grade and

    didnt perform well in the Create Stage. As I said before, I didnt

    have enough time to finish the full animation video, because for

    most of the time in the Create Stage, I was just trying to solve

    problems that I faced with Bryce, because the program was very

  • 8/13/2019 Evaluation Stage Omar Ibrahim 10D

    19/22

    Omar Ibrahim 16/1/2014

    10D

    hard to use, and I was just trying to know how to use it, and the

    same thing was happening with other students in class, and so,

    throughout the Create Stage, I was just wasting time trying to

    overcome problems that I had with Bryce, and I was just able to

    create only a still image of the animation video. I was also able tocreate the full website, with text in Arabic and English in it, in

    addition to images and videos related to the project. In addition, I

    was able to create both social media pages that I wanted to

    create, with comments on them, by me, a profile image, and a name,

    but the problem was that these pages werentreally shared at all,

    since there was only one follower on the FaceBook page, and that

    was it, and so, the social media pages werent really effective,

    because they werent used at all. In addition, I was able to create a

    modified plan, where all the modifications I created for my PlanStage went, any additions, modifications, or steps removed. The

    modified plan also had justifications for any modifications created

    in the steps of the plan, or in other words, I talked about why I

    changed any of the steps that I changed in the plan stage. In

    addition, I was able to write all process journal entries, which all

    talked about what I did today, any problems that I faced,

    screenshots of todays work, and the progression in my work. So, I

    got a 4 at the end, and it was mainly because of the incomplete

    animation video and the unshared social media pages, the rest ofthe project was all complete.

    - Attitudes in Technology:I think I did great in the Attitudes in Technology. Firstly, I was

    able to follow the template and the criteria to create my work for

    I.T, even though I wasnt able of finishing some work in time, but

    for the work that I did, I followed the templates and the criteria

    and the teachers guidance, whenever he told us to add any more

    work or focus on anything specific. In addition, I was able to

    comment on the news forum a lot, allowing me to take advice from

    classmates and giving them advice, which would allow us to all have

    great quality work. In addition, I was able to help and guide one of

    my classmates and students a lot, which was Maher, who was new to

    the school this year. I was able to spend a lot of time with him,

    helping him, guiding him, telling him what to write and what to

    submit, telling him about what we need to do in I.T class and in

    home, and so, I was able to guide him to become more experienced

    and more used to I.T class, without feeling very confused or lost,

  • 8/13/2019 Evaluation Stage Omar Ibrahim 10D

    20/22

    Omar Ibrahim 16/1/2014

    10D

    and so, I was able to help him a lot. Also, on most occasions, when I

    faced any problems, with software or in class, I tried to always

    solve these problems in the best ways possible, but in a few

    occasions, I didnt solve these problems efficiently, but overall, I

    think I deserve a 6 in Attitudes in Technology, because I was veryhardworking and helpful and guiding.

    Goals for Next Project:

    - Be faster with my work, instead of wasting a lot of time onunnecessary things.

    - Try to be faster with solving problems that I face, at all times,so that I can quickly get back to work and proceed to finish my

    product(s).

    - Do a lot of research about the software or hardware that wewill use, before the beginning of the project, so that Im

    prepared, when the project begins.

    - Make faster designs and less detailed drawings that would takeaway hours of my time.

    - Write fewer words when submitting stages of the project,because writing a lot could result in not finishing a lot of parts.

    - Evaluate the Impact of the Product:- Right now, the product that I created is very ineffective and

    very weak, because it is just an image, but I will answer the

    following questions as if the product is complete and effective.

    - Impact to Society:- What will be the impact for the intended user?Now, my product doesnt have an impact on anyone, at all, but if it

    was a full, effective video, it wouldve impacted my audience a lot.

    If the video was effective and successful enough, it couldve been

    shared between people on FaceBook and Twitter, and eventually, it

    would become very popular, and my audience, governments and

    vehicle-making companies, would watch the video, and they would

    start thinking more about developing future transportation

    methods and making them better, because they would finally be

    able to visualize how the future transportation methods will look

    like, after watching my video, and so, in the near future, our

    transportation methods will become better, faster, and more

    efficient, and so, vehicle-making companies and governments will

    become more successful, and they will gain more money, and the

    economy of the government will become better, because there will

  • 8/13/2019 Evaluation Stage Omar Ibrahim 10D

    21/22

    Omar Ibrahim 16/1/2014

    10D

    be more improved future transportation methods, that will be sold

    to all the people around the world, solving problems such as

    pollution and traffic, and so, my audience, governments and vehicle-

    making companies will be richer with all the new, modern, and

    improved transportation methods.- Will the product impact other people in society? Who, in and

    what way?

    Firstly, if the product is successful enough and it becomes popular

    and widely spread on FaceBook and Twitter, it might actually

    become a very important product around the world, and everyone

    will be talking about it, and so, it will impact people in the streets,

    friends, and family, which will talk about it continuously. Also, if

    the vehicle-making companies actually start taking action into

    creating the future transportation methods, and they do createthem, the transportation methods will become very popular and

    widely spread around the world, and they will impact drivers around

    the world and vehicle-lovers around the world, who will immediately

    buy the new transportation methods and become more engaged

    with them, as the transportation methods will become better and

    more efficient, and so, they will impact vehicle customers by

    making them feel very interested and connected to these

    transportation methods, causing them to buy them.

    - Impact on the Physical Environment:- How will it impact on your environments? (Yours, Others)As I said before, if the product becomes successful, and is shared

    on the social media pages that I created, it might become famous

    and popular enough to reach to authorities and governments and

    vehicle-making companies, which would actually start creating

    these future transportation methods and they would start

    visualizing more future transportation methods, and if they start

    creating the transportation methods, they will start taking

    resources from nature, which would destroy nature and affect it

    negatively. For example, to design the inside of a futuristic car,

    vehicle companies could start cutting down large numbers of trees

    in large forests, to design the car from the inside, and so, they

    would ruin nature, destroy and kill trees, and ruin the habitat for

    other plants and animals, causing their death. Also, these

    companies could start killing innocent animals for their leather, and

    start cutting down trees for rubber, which, once again, would ruin

    habitats and kill many innocent animals and plants, causing their

  • 8/13/2019 Evaluation Stage Omar Ibrahim 10D

    22/22

    Omar Ibrahim 16/1/2014

    will start supporting the project, and so, the project will become

    popular and serious, and people will start actually visualizing how

    future transportation methods will look like, causing them to takeaction, and so, vehicle companies and governments will start

    significant improvement in transportation methods, and the world

    will have much better, faster, improved, and more efficient

    transportation methods, that would stop problems in the world

    such as pollution, global warming, accidents that cause death and

    injuries, and of course, traffic. So, this project could be thebeginning of a new era for transportation methods.
