Year 10 - I hope you had a great day on Monday and are ready to get down to work in IT again!

The 3rd stage of the Investigate is: Formulate a Design Specification

What is a Design Specification? Let's brainstorm a little . . .

Now based on your research, what 4/5 items do YOU think YOUR e-portfolio should include?

Now, here's what you need to do:

Formulate a Design Specification

1) Create a Design Specification list (list the 4/5 items you will include)

2) Create a Detailed List (say why you will include these items)

3)Create a Test to Evaluate your product (your e-portfolio) based on the Design Specification (include an introduction sentence (To evaluate my product I will create a questionnaire. On a scale of 1-5 where 1 is awful and 5 is awesome, I will ask the following questions.) Then ask 1 question for each item on your Design Specification).

Look at the example being passed around in class;-)

Remember - the Investigate is NOT difficult. Break it down into manageable parts: Identify the problem, Develop a Design Brief, Formulate a Design Specification.

I will be HAPPY to help you - just raise your hand.
