Investigating Bulliying compare/contrast

Are they well designed?

the websites are well designed because they give good and helpful information about bullying. also, they put a relevant theme that suites the topic and good photos. It has alot of colours and is easy to read and understand.

Who is the audience? What is it intended for ?Where? How? are they used? What age group/audience are the games intended for?

Those websites were made to stop bulling and solve the problem.
i think that the audience was made for different ages.
this website i think was made for children.
this website was made for older children.
the games in the websites were made for small children aged around 9-11 years old.

what is bullying? Define it? Define types of bullying?

A lot of young people have a good idea of what bullying is because they see it every day! Bullying happens when someone hurts or scares another person on purpose and the person being bullied has a hard time defending himself or herself.

There is alot of type of bulling ,some are:
1- cyber bullying is to say hurtful things and post photos bad on Websites, e-mails, cell phone text messages and photos to torment their classmates.
2- verbal bulliying is when a bully says bad words to the victim and makes fun of him and his family.
3- physical bulling when a person spread rumors on another person or makes him/her dose something he dosent want to do.

The reason why one kid would want to bully another kid is this: when you make someone feel bad, you gain power over him or her. Power makes people feel like they're better than another person, and then that makes them feel really good about themselves. Power also makes you stand out from the crowd. It's a way to get attention from other kids, and even from adults.

Final Evaluation

1- How well does your product work? Does it do everything that you said it would do and does it do it well?

My product worked very well. It did everything i told it to do and it did it all well.


2- How well did you work at each stage of the design cycle?

step 1 - Investigate- the investigate step was some how the easiest step. it did not require alot of thinking and alot of steps.

step 2- plan - it was not hard it was just like the investigare

step 3- create- creating was the fun part because it was when you actually create it.

step 4- evaluate- i am doing it now.

Client meeting

I have been making an i web on tsunamis and their effects. here is what i did so far:


1- Your design and layout of you web pages - Dose it fit your drawing/plan?

A 1- For my design and layout i used the theme Road trip, which is a wooden brown background with a piece of paper on top as a design and a place to write on. to be honest i didn't really follow my plan for the design. I used another type of design.

2- Your topic and reasearch - What have you done in class?

A 2- My topic was about Tsunami and its effect . I tried as much as possible to use kids websites for my research to make it easier. So, I did a detailed search of all the kid websites i can get. after i found the websites i needed and bookmarked them on delicious.





3- Color, font and the use of multimedia?

A 3- The font was the same for the writing and the information in the whole i web which was some how a kind of slanted handwriting with a grayish color which matched the lined paper background. The font for the title was comic sans , size 36 with a different color for every page. for the multimedia, i did one page that had a video of a tsunami. the rest of the multimedia was pictures, there was a picture in every page and all were different.



4- Dose it have 5 pages?

4- My iweb has exactly 5 pages, which is the minimum.


5- The features of Apple iweb. What is working ? and what is not working in the web application?

A 5- There are things in the application that are easy to use and find, for example changing the color and font. The harder things took a little while to understand and master lik, putting videos.

7- Do you have an emergency plan ? Do you have a reference page?

A 7- No i donnot have and emergency page or a reference page.

Week 3

what did you like about the websites?

website 1 : red crescent website
The thing i like about this red crescent website is the color and text. the color is red and matches the topic and the text is easy to read and not alot of text. it also has a lot of visuals and multimedia.

i will compare this website with google. i thik that this website is better than google because it is more colorful . google is plain and boring with no color. Google dose not have alot of visuals and multimedia.

Investigate

Investigation Questions:

1. Why is communication so important during an emergency? because everyone needs to be aware that a disaster is striking their community and needs to do everything to be ready for it. There are alot of different communications , for example : internet, cellphones, blackberries, radio, Televisions , iphones and many other electronics.
   
2. What forms of communication have been used during recent disasters e.g Hurricane Katrina, the Tsunami? i am not very sure but i am guessing that they must have used the radio, televisions, cellphones, text messaging, msn and the internet in general.
   
3. What essential information needs to be communicated during a disaster or emergency? the information that should be communicated in a disaster is that a disaster is coming or happening. or to be prepared and ready when the disaster comes.
   
4. What information can be created before the emergency? What information needs to be communicated during the emergency? before the emergency they could make an internet site about the emergency and people from around the world could post in it if they had a similar emergency and how the survived it. during the emergency they could make another website for people to post what the did in the disaster.
   
5. What hardware and software is required to be able to communicate online?
   

Hard wares:

- mobile phones/i phones- can help us by calling people we know and tell them a warning that a disaster is coming

- computer/blackberry phones - communicate with people using messenger or other chatting sites. you can also research on the disaster coming and know more about it and how to keep safe

television/ radio- news can tell us about any disaster coming


Guiding Questions:


A. How can I make use of established and emerging WWW tools to support online publication?

we can use Microsoft word, publisher and other Microsoft tools. we can also post information and pictures on the internet sites or make a website and write information and put pictures. we can also put posts on an online newspaper.

b. What are the best tools to use for effective communication online?

I think that the best tool to have effective information would be newspapers or television because these are the items people around the whole world listen to and understand.

C. How can the Internet be used to help a community prepare for and survive a disaster?

the internet could be used by hot mail or online newspapers. also, famous websites like google, facebook , youtube and other internet websites.

Communication and the Internet:

• Which communication forms are synchronous? the communications that are synchronous are MSN messenger, telephone calls and other direct talks.
  

• Which ones are asynchronous? the communications that are asynchronous are telephone text messages , emails and other indirect talks.
  

• What type of information would be conveyed by each form? the information that would be coveyed are war, natural disasters, bombings and so on.
• What is needed in hardware and software for each?

Evaluation

What worked well?

There was a couple of things that worked well in almost all stages of the design cycle.

I think that the investigation was the easiest part of the project because all what we had to do is reasearch. It was also a fun part of the project because we got to learn new types of robots and what they did, and the new robot technology. The create stage was obviously the funest part of the project, because we actually built the robot. The only thing that worked well was the building part, where we used the lego.

What didn't work well?

In the project nothing did go bad in the investigate or design stage. there was minor problems in the create cycle. tjhe problems were using the software robolab which did not work. also , we weren't able to program the robot by giving it instructions using win logo.

How can improve it?

I could improve this project in many different ways. One way I could improve mu listening skills awhich i think is the poorest skill i have. other than that i think the project was great and it was a great experience learining about all the new kinds of robots and building them.
