Year 10 - Yesterday's lesson went really well. Your powerpoint presentations were great!

Today, we will look at online storage.

The sites I would like you to look at are: Google Docs, Scribd, and Div Share.

What makes Div Share different from Google Docs and Scribd?

Research all 3, open an account in Google Docs, upload a document (Word documents must be saved as Word 97-2003) and share it with the person sitting to your right;-) You must "invite" that person.

After receiving the invitation to edit someone else's documents, make a change to the document by highlighting the text in your favourite colour.

Now, onto EVALUATE - Criterion E Maximum 6 points

Students are expected to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification in an objective manner based on testing, and to evaluate its impact on life, society and/or the environment. They are expected to explain how the product/solution could be improved as a result of these evaluations.

Students are expected to evaluate their own performance at each stage of the design cycle and to suggest ways in which their performance could be improved.

To get full marks the student: evaluates the success of the product/solution in an objective manner based on the results of testing, and the views of the intended users. The student provides an evaluation of his or her own performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggests improvements. The student provides an appropriate evaluation of the impact of the product/solution on life, society and/or the environment.

1.The first task is to receive feedback on your product. Show it to members of the target group and ask them to complete the questionnaire that you created in the Investigation;-).
2. Write a paragraph or paragraphs analyzing the feedback.
3. Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggest ways that you can improve.
4. Write a paragraph in which you evaluate the impact of your product/solution on life, society, and/or the environment (relate this paragraph back to the Area(s) of Interaction that you used in your Identify the Problem).

Learning objective: carry out tests to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification; evaluate their perforance at each stage of the design cycle and suggest ways in which their perforance could be improved; evaluate the impact of the product/solution on individuals and/or society.
