Reflection:
In the last lesson, our class was divided into groups of 3 or 4 to start our ad project.I was then in a group with 3 of my classmates which are Imaan, Anishka and Rania.We first started by choosing which product we should make our about, so then we decided to do it on ASA's.After that, we went downstairs to take pictures of images that we would use in our ad to show the different activities.Then we recorded the background music that we will be putting in our ad.Next, we started forming our ad by adding some of the images we took of the activity examples, we did this on the software iMovie which is a software provided on only apple products.Next, after that we decided what we were going to do in our next lesson, we decided to finish recording the video and finalize it by next week.What I think went well in the work we have done until now is the way we were able to find appropriate background music and appropriate images for our ad.What I think could have been better was the way we used video editing in iMovie as we were not very familiar with how to use it.To conclude I think we have started well and I hope that we will be able to successfully accomplish this project, other than that I believe that I have learned a lot of new skills from the beginning, for example, making a youtube video into a mp3, uploading images to iMovie, adding text to the video and lastly adding music to the video.

Peer evaluation
Reflection:
Here is my peer evaluation from my peer Imaan.According to the table above and the peer evaluation I think that I have done a good job overall as my total mark was a 15 out of 18 which I think shows that I have done a good job in my project.The first reason I believe I have done an overall good job is, first of all, I have received a grade of 3 in terms of originality which means that I have done a very good job and was able to be completely original in my project.Next, I believe that I have done a good job in creativity as, I received a 2 but, I could have improved and been a little bit more creative in my scratch and in the story.Also in backgrounds, I got a 2 which shows that I have done well but needed to put a little more effort in terms of backgrounds and could have done it in a better manner.In terms of sprites, I managed to receive 3 which shows that I have accomplished this part of my project in a very good manner.Meanwhile, for scripts and programming blocks I got 3 which shows that I have performed this part of my project in the correct and good manner.Lastly, in terms of purpose and the project, I believe that I could have improved and accomplished this part in a much better way and could have really improved on it.To conclude I think that this peer evaluation is very good and I have done a very good job in my project but could have improved one certain fields in the project.

Story scratch
Reflection:
So above as you can see is my story scratch, this scratch is basically a story based on one of my main hobbies which is reading.The scratch talks about a story I have created based on reading, the story talks about a girl which went and borrowed a book she believed that it was totally usual, little did she know it was not a regular book but was extremely unusual.Before she borrowed the book the librarian kept on warning her about borrowing the book but she never listened and borrowed it.Later in the day she started reading it and night time came she then got tired and decided to go and sleep.During the night plants and roses started growing out of the book and onto the girl suffocating during her sleep and dragging her into the book(the reason it happened was it was a scene in the book that she was then dragged into.In the morning, she then disappeared and above the bed it was written: SHE WAS WARNED in a bold handwriting in a red color.What I think went well in this assessment was during the process when I was able to use my creativity and think of a story to create from scratch but also, when I used different categories in scratch during the creation to improve my scratch through the process of creating it.However, in my perspective I think what didn't go well was when I struggled in the process as I disnt really know how to use everything from scratch and how to do certain things using scratch so, I overcame my struggles by inquiring certain peers in my class for help, but I also researched independently when I struggled during the process.To conclude I have learned a lot during this project like new categories on scratch and new ways of using scratch also, I think it was very enjoyable to do and was very beneficial for my general digital design knowledge.Also, I think after this experience I will be able to improve much more in my next scratch experience in the future.To use the scratch you first have to press the green flag and then wait for the sprite to finfish speaking, next press the space until I finish my last recording and after I am done press a for the finish.

Term 3- Developing Ideas Criterion B
Here is my first draft:
Reflection
My project is a story scratch so the first step is to think of 1 idea and draw it as a draft.So, my first idea for my story is about a girl that borrowed an interesting book and then when she left it open and slept in the night the next morning all that was left on the bed were leaves that came out of the book and on the bed it was written in red '' she was warned '' and the girl was not there. The way I thought of this idea was because I remembered how I wrote it when I was young si I decided to use it as my idea for a story.Until now I have just started the process for creating the actual project which is to make a scratch that tells my story.I think my first design is very interesting and is very good because I think it is a quite innovative type of story as it is not a story that you hear about every now and then,however, I think in my next design I can improve it a little bit more in terms of creativeness and in terms of art digitally but also in terms of drawing.To conclude I think my first draft is very good and innovative but I will attempt to improve in my next draft to make the story a little bit better next time.
Here is my second draft :
Reflection:
This is my second draft,in this draft I improved the same story I illustrated in the first draft by summarizing it and making it shorter as it was too long in the first draft.Until now I am in the second step of the whole project which is improving on the first draft and then editing it by drawing a second draft to improve the story and the first draft in general.The reason I chose to do so was because I wanted to make my scratch short and interesting rather than making it very long for no reason .I think what went very successful during this process was when I thought of an idea of a way to improve it then drew the actual draft with not too many struggles ,another thing that I think went very well when I made the second draft was the way I colored the draft to visualize and give a little detail about the story but also to help me create the story from scratch at the end of the project .However I think a way I can improve for the next time is maybe if I showed a little more detail in the characters and the actual story like I did in the first draft but in the same time not to make it way too long to make it detailed.To conclude I am very proud of the assignment and the way I improved my first draft but I will still try to improve in the next time.
Here is my third draft:
Reflection:
Here is an image of my third draft.Until now I am in the third step of this project which is to make the third draft for the story I will be creating from scratch at the end of this project.In my third draft I decided to make a different idea for my story,I decided to make it about 2 girls that find a treasure box full of gold but then find out all that gold was fake and it was just chocolate the whole time.The reason I chose to do so was because I wanted to have the option to choose from 2 stories when it comes to creating my story from scratch.What I believe went well during the process of making the draft was being able to think of a new idea for a story to do for my scratch projects but also putting some detail into the story and making it nice and short so it does not become too long.However, I think something I can improve on for next time is that maybe I can try to add some more details in the draft so I can easily be able to create the same story I drew into the format of a story from scratch where I will show the story digitally.Even though I had 1 struggle I think it was very easy to accomplish and wasn't that difficult.To conclude I think I have done really well in this draft,I also think that this assignment was very enjoyable but also very beneficial for me I will also still try to improve next time.
Final Reflection
After analyzing and checking all 3 of my drafts I have decided to choose 1 of them to do my scratch on, the one that I have chosen is the first draft.The reason I have chosen this draft is that I believe even though it is the longest one and is the same story as my second draft I think it is the most interesting out of all 3 of them and also the most one which is amusing and fun out of all 3 of the drafts.The reason I believe the first one is the most interesting is that the second is the same story but it is much shorter so it is not very detailed which is something that my first draft contains also I think that it is more interesting and unique because in the second draft it was short so I didn't really think it would be as enjoyable as the first draft and it might have been too short.Next, the reason I chose the first draft over the third draft was I think I didn't put much effort in thinking of that story for it to be better than the first since in the first one I put a lot of effort not in drawing it in detail and color but the actual story itself (as it was a story that I wrote in grade 3 then decided to make a scratch now) on the other hand I didn't really give as much effort as I did to the first rather than to the third one which is why I preferred the first one, on the other hand my third also had common flaws with my second on the third one wasn't that detailed too and was quite short and not that interesting or enjoyable like the second one.To conclude I think that I have done a good job in all my 3 drafts and have completed them well but I did a better job in my first draft which is why I have chosen to make it for my upcoming scratch project which will be to create this story using scratch programming.

Term 3- Scratch Programming Project Criteria A- Inquiry and analysis
Statement of Inquiry
Computational Creation enables me to be creative
Global context
Personal and cultural expression
The reason why I have chose this global context is because I really think that this represents my story based on scratch and I think it really shows the topic of my story.Other than that the reason I believe it represents my story is because this global context talks about investigating your personal and cultural perspective and your hobbies, feelings, cultures,beliefs etc.So the reason it represents it is because my story's main topic will be one of my hobbies which are reading and it talks about how a book affects the reader.I also think the global context relates to my story because my story also talks partially about a certain part of my identity and personality.So, to conclude I think that the global context really represents my story in detail as it is very relatable not to just my main topic as it talks about me and one of my personal topics but also about my whole scratch story in general, last but not least I think that this global context really summarizes my scratch, and that is why I have chosen this global context for my scratch.
Atl skills
Creative thinking and Information literacy
My first ATL skill is Creative thinking, the reason I have chosen this ATL skill is because I think that through my process in creating my scratch I have used a lot of creativity to think about the stories and all the detail in it.For example, I believe that I have put a lot of effort and creativity in thinking of the details for the characters like their names their costumes their personalities their lines and several other details.Another thing where I think I used my detail in was his events of the story and also the settings for example the colors the drawings and several other details.My next ATL skill was information literacy, the reason I chose this ATL was because I really that during my process I really used the ATL Information literacy as before I did the scratch programming I had to research direction and how to use it but more importantly new ways to use scratch in my story.To conclude I think I have reasonably chosen my ATL skills and have used them appropriately during the process before using scratch but also during the process of creating my process

Introduction
In Term 3 we will be working on Scratch programming. This is creative computing and enables us to explore various sprites and commands in Scratch.
About Me
Reflection:
For my personal scratch, I couldn't really find an inspiration that matched what I wanted to do so instead I thought of my own idea for my personal scratch.So,to create my scratch I first chose a sprite that would match me as a girl,then I put what the scratch would say and then added sprites to match the text.After that, I added several sounds and motions to give an effect on the text and finally, I changed the setting of where the sprite was.For my personal scratch in the process, I had some difficulties putting the motions and text so to overcome them during class I asked some of the people in the class to help me.I think the most part I am proud of in my scratch is the part where I was able to successfully use the website to create my scratch and was able to use the different motions, controls, and sounds to create my scratch.I think after this experience next I would probably do a story or even create music from it.To conclude I believe this experience was very beneficial and educational and I really enjoyed it.Here is my Conversation Scratch:
Reflection:
Yesterday in the lesson we continued our scratch programming projects.So,during the lesson I learned more about how scratch works and I also learned a little bit more about the details of scratch, for example, the scripts,motions,costumes,backdrops,looks etc.Most importantly I learned how to successfully post my scratch by sharing it and then using its embed code.So after I finalized and edited my personal scratch in the lesson ms then introduced to us the next scratch project which was to make a conversation using 2 sprites then using the motions,scripts,costumes and backdrops to set the conversation.So after that, I started the new scratch project however I met some struggles in the process, for example, I had a difficulty when I had to make the first sprite talk and then change into the next costume and I also struggled with making both of the sprites switch to their costume at the same time while the backdrop changes and so own however I was then able to overcome it by some of the people in class.Generally, I think I did a good job on this project and I think that it is very good.

Final Evaluation Criteria B
For the tech fair me and my In group created 2 projects which were the Sawed off USB Cable and the Garageband playlist.In the beginning my group found it difficult to find a suitable idea for the Tech Fair and it needed a lot of time and effort to find one at the end.For this project I believe that I really used my knowledge of USB parts for being able to actually build our project however,for our Garageband playlist I was able to use my knowledge and skills about the software and the features in it,I also used my skills of being able to adjust the different tunes on the software and being able to adjust the frames to fit together,lastly I used my skills of being able to use loops to improve my tunes on the playlist.Second of all for our project I think we used our time wisely when we built our project but I think we could have used it in a wiser manner when it was time to research for tech fair projects to build since it took us quite a long time to find one the matched the standards.Next according to our process I think we followed the criteria and it’s standards when we were looking for a project and also during the time when we built and finalized the appearance and presentation of our project also when we developed and improved our projects.Other than that I believe that our team didn't really have a leader since we all worked together and delegated our work equally.For our project I don't think we had much problems but the only one that we met was when it was hard to work on the project during the holiday individually so we decided to contact each other and meet to be able to equally divide the work and collaborate together.Also I think that our projects are worthy because we created two tech fair projects they are not just tech related but it is also something we are very passionate about and we would like to share our learning and our experience. I really enjoyed the experience of creating a project but,if I had to do it again I think I would have used my time more wisely during the time we researched to get and create a more interesting and complicated project for the Tech Fair.To conclude I have learnt a lot through the experience and I think it was really enjoyable and beneficial towards my knowledge and skills about ICT and technology in general.Here are images to show the process.

ICT lesson reflection
Today in our ICT lesson our class worked o creating a flyer about a device/part of the computer.For today I worked with my partner Imaan,we created a flyer about The static wristband device .In the flyer we wrote about what it is and its function,what is it known as,the different types,what it consists of,an image for the wristband and a reference for where we got our information from.Other than that two of our groups were able to present their flyer in class.The first people that presented were Rania,Ward and Arthur,in their presentation, they talked about the RAM its function,definition and the purpose of the RAM.For their group I think that they presented their information in a clear and deep manner,the next person that presented was Karim he presented about the ROM and clearly described all its features in clear and very good detail.Now here is an image of the flyer that I worked on with Imaan during our class today:

Technology and the UAE National Agenda (Sustainable environment and infrastructure)
In the UAE His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai has launched a 7-year program called the National Agenda which then got the government to the UAE vision for 2021.In this national agenda, there are 6 different pillars that are: Cohesive Society and Preserved Identity, Safe Public and Fair Judiciary, Competitive Knowledge Economy, First-Rate Education System, World-Class Healthcare and Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure.
Today in the lesson we decided to focus on one of the pillars which is the Sustainable environment and infrastructure, so we then wrote on how we as students can use technology to help give a sustainable environment around us, here is a description of how we can use technology to give a sustainable environment.
In our society today, technology has several aims towards.However today most of our society depends on technology/devices for most of the categories in our lives.,for example, there are different impacts of technology such as socializing, raising awareness on different concepts but also in a way environmentally.For example me as a student I can use applications like retina interfaces that can then help reduce the energy that we then use to make ink and paper that will then reduce the amount of paper used in the school, other than that those applications can also cut down on our tree devastation and on our forest clear cutting; which will then support creating a sustainable environment.Second of all we can use the different softwares on technology like canva or piktochart and then we can use the softwares to create posters and flyers to raise awareness about keeping our environment eco-friendly and also sustainable another option is you can also create a website.The third way we can use technology to create a sustainable environment is an action that we will have to take as a class/grade/school which is instead of having copybooks and using papers for our work in school we can recycle the paper and instead use our devices for our work instead of textbooks and copybooks.
To conclude as students we can use technology in several different ways like creating flyers, poster and websites to raise awareness, use our devices in school instead of copybooks and lastly by using applications to reduce the amount of energy to make paper and ink which will then reduce the amount of paper we use in the school.Those are all ways that will help us deliver a sustainable environment around us.

Presentation reflections
The next group that presented consisted of Harang and Imaan, their project was A Stop motion animation video.They had an option of using the software Monkey jam but instead for their project they decided to use the Stop motion animation software for their video.Their project is basically a video where they created models and took pictures of them in different perspectives to tell a story.The positive things about their presentation were that they used simple language to describe their project which made it easier for the audience to understand but they managed to also use technical vocabulary, however their presentation was very detailed and informative since the were able to describe the exact features of their project.The only thing I think they can improve is maybe if they talked with a louder voice and in a more clear manner but other than that I believe that their presentation was very good.Last but not least I think that they deserve to go to the tech fair because their project is different and unique than the other projects, I also think that it is very artistic and is very interesting and people would be interested to see it.So to conclude I think they have done an excellent job overall on their project and powerpoint.
After that the next group that presented consisted of Davide and Satchit.Their project is night lights shaped as fireflies that use flameless LED lights.Their presentation was very good overall since they were able to explain briefly how it works? What is it? the materials and their pros and cons.On the other hand, next time, they can improve on adding a little more information on the project and maybe putting a detailed description of the exact features of their project.Another thing they can improve is next time maybe they can talk in a louder and clearer manner.For this group, I believe that their project is not very worthy of the tech fair, the first reason I believe that is it is not very technological since it does not include technological features like any electronics or software.Second of all I don't think it is very interesting or innovative since it is something very simple and might not interest the audience in the tech fair.So to conclude even though they presented their project a powerpoint quite well their tech fair project does not include technological features wich makes it unworthy for the tech fair but overall they have done a good job.

In our presentation, me and my group presented our two tech fair projects are: the sawed-off USB cable and our playlist that we created using Garageband.My group consisted of me, Rania and Kiyara. Our first project that we presented was the sawed-off USB cable it is basically a cable that we have reconstructed using the parts USB and has also been sawed off.We reconstructed it by using the parts of a USB to replace the part that connects the cable to the computer.Our second project was basically a software on iOS called Garageband that we then used to create a playlist of tunes using the instruments downloaded on the app.I believe that our presentation was very good since we clearly explained our projects and we also spoke in a loud manner for people to hear and understand.I believe our group can improve by being a little more serious in our presentation and a little more confident and less embarrassed.The last reason my group thinks that we should enter the tech fair is because we created two tech fair projects they are not just tech related but it is also something we are very passionate about and we would like to share our learning and our experience.
Today Adam presented his project to the class, his project was a website that he has created to raise awareness about the endangered pandas around the world.His project is basically a website that he has created using a software called Wix and has presented information on about Pandas.The positive things about Adam’s presentation was how he gave a convincing and persuasive justification to why he created his project second of all he also knew all about his project and was very informative while presenting.I believe the only way Adam can improve his presentation is to be a little more confident and not hesitate too much while presenting,for his website he can improve by maybe making it a little more activities to it and make it more informative, other than that he could have maybe added more information about how people can help saving them.Last but not least I think that it is not very worthy and did not show much technical work and effort but I thinking Adam has done a good job since it is only his first tech fair.
After that Christa and Jana presented their tech fair project which was a robotics car that they built.The project is basically a car that is composed of an engine that is connected by the remote using wires it is also surrounded by metal pieces, they then fixed wheels using screws so that it moves in a faster manner.The positive things about their presentation was that they clearly explained their project and the details of their project, they also explained the exact materials and structure of their car.Other than that I believe that they did not hesitate at all during their presentation.The only thing I think they can improve is maybe showing us a demonstration of how it is used or how the car moves.I think their project is worthy of entering the tech fair because it is very related to technology and is also very interesting and unique and I believe will enjoy seeing their project.

Today in our lesson our first presentation was done by Anishka. For her project, she has created a handy electronic mop.Her project was basically a small sized box that she has then put wheels from a remote control car in and allowed the wheels to stick out of the box so then it would be able to move on the ground and also clean at the same time. Anishka also used the remote control from the car so she can control it.The function of the object was to reach things and clean objects that you can not access through your house or in any other place.What I liked about her presentation was how she demonstrated it and then showed us the different features in it.The only point of improvement I have for her is to talk with a higher voice and explain in more detail.I believe her project is not very worthy of the tech fair since it doesn't show a lot of effort through it and not much of technical skills have been used in it but I believe that she has done a good job for trying individually.
In our lesson today the second presentation was done by Mohammed, Khaled and Matei.For the tech fair, their project was a game that they called Big Ship Defender.Their project was basically a game they have created to work on iOS and Android using softwares called Game Salad and Console Friend.The game was a ship that tried to defend itself against other ships by using the weapon that it has been provided, then the person has to use the arrows to move and the spacebar to use its weapon.I believe that their group presented really well but they can improve on explaining in a little more detailed and clear way so we can easily understand but other than that they have done a good job on their presentation.According to their presentation, I think their project is worthy of the tech fair because it applies and uses technology and it would also be interesting for the people to see.Sunday, 28 February 2016

Ashkan and Arthur
Today our first presentation was done by Ashkan and Arthur.For the tech fair, the group has created a pinball machine.The project was about a pinball game that used Lego Mindstorms and several technological materials.I believe the positive points about the presentation was that they have clearly explained their project and the different features in it.Last but not least the reason I believe their project should enter the tech fair was because I believe that it was very technologically related which made it very worthy of the tech fair.

Our third presentation today was done by Ananya and Riya.For their project, they had a BB 8 robot. The project was about a droid that can move and has a petrol system and can also show a map of how far the robot goes.I believe that their presentation was good but can be better if they spoke loudly and in a more clear manner.Last but not least I believe the project is not very worthy to enter the tech fair because I feel that it is very simple to enter the tech fair and that they have not fully shown their technical skills through the project which makes spent make the project as worthy as it should be for the each fair.

The first group was Ahmed Nicolai and Akahansh. The group created a programmed robot that they then called it the storm KI3N robot or the tech fair project. In their presentation they talked about the different hardware and software they used in their robot .afterthat they started discussing the different pros and cons of their project, for example, they said how it was an advantage that it was able to rover, grab objects, shoot bullets meanwhile they then talked to us about the way they programmed and built the robot using the materials they were given and using the programming app.Last but not least they demonstrated how their robot has worked and also explained the different things they have learnt during the process of their tech fair project.
The second presentation we had today was done by Karim, his project for the tech fair was a game that he had created using Stencyl and that he then called Noni and the apocalypse.First Karim talked to us about what was Stencyl and how was it used he also talked about how he created the game using the features in Stencyl. After that Karim demonstrated how the game works and the instructions for how to play it. Meanwhile, he then discussed the coding he used to create the game and then the unused features that are available on Stencyl that he did not use in his game.Last but not least Karim then talked to us about why he believed he should enter the tech fair and the different skills her learnt during the process of the creation of his tech fair project.

The reason we chose to create a tune from garage band was because first we were unable to find an idea so we then thought of our passion and thought of collaborating it with music. After that, we searched for different technology products that collaborated with music and found the idea of creating a tune from Garage Band by using the tunes on the app. For the Tech Fair, we all decided to do a technical project that we are all passionate about, that is music. So we used Garage Band IOS to construct our own music in a technical way. We made a playlist including 5 songs. They are all of a different genre, some are hip hop, and some are calming and melodic. We all constructed this music together as a group. Overall, we have chosen this because of our passion and because it was a fitting easy project suitable for youth and teens. It is trendy and rather than using something like I tunes to buy music, why not use Garageband where you can produce your own music and enjoy it without any cost?

Research reflection
For term 2 we have been in the process of researching an idea for the tech fair, each one of us had to think of an idea for the tech fair, we then had to write a short paragraph about the function of the project and a short description of the materials and process of the object.In my opinion, I believe that I have described the project in a very detailed manner and have talked about in a very descriptive way.Second of all, in my opinion, I think that I have provided very appropriate and necessary information that defined the project properly.Another thing is that I think that I have used my research skills very well and have received great information.Meanwhile, I have also appropriately cited my source of image and information.Finally, last but not least next time a way I can improve is to add a little more visual work in my research and maybe I can describe in a more deep manner so it can be as detailed as possible.
