On Sunday there was the opening of the space center 2059, our objective was to design a space center. we had set up a PowerPoint that we didn’t finish on the first day. It took a while till the power point was done ( we finished it during the week because we didn’t just work on it). We made badges for our team, our badges were based of the name 'Galaxy Stars' ( our group name). We played one game on Sunday it was a game were we had to hold holes closed and then pour water in without water running out...We ended up having a water fight...we were all soaked.


On Monday we researched about Stephen Hawking he invented the theory of black holes, even though he was disabled with the motor nueron disease he was very smart.We did challenges like the egg and spoon race, also there were activities with ropes were you had to form shapes with the piece of rope. On Monday we had a scavenger hunt were we had to follow clues to find out were the next clue was until we found out what we were looking for.

On Tuesday we went to the Air Force, IT WAS REALLY FUN! we sat in planes also in helicopters, also the best thing was when we got to fly the flight simulator, it was really realistic because it had also the same cockpit as the real plane ( we had to stabilize and keep the height of the plane). Also we went to the Turkish embassy and he told us abit about the embassy and turkey,we ate there and then they sang for us.

On Wednesday we finialzed our project we finished it all and stuck the things together also we added a few things. we played a activity which was tug of war it was so funny becuase one we all fell and once the others fell. The last thing that we did wwas take a group photo of us all.

On wednesday

client meeting

Here is my project.
We have finished our project quite early, however we have improved our project quite alot. It might seem like a very simple and easy thing to do. It was easy but it was very frustrating to go through the complicated steps because pages I think pages is not such a good software for making projects and I found it pretty hard because the picture would move out of its place or the text would split in have or the background picture would move, it was a mess!! However we wroked together and experimented many different things to recover. I think our project is very eyecatching and colorful and i really think it will do well. We have two posters exactly the same but one with more text. This one was more an introduction to bullying than just saying statements like we did in our second poster. Also we changed the fonts which i think we did great. Well overall i thought this was a great project and i hope you use our project.
Thank you!!!

evaluation of my project

My final poster was a good achievement, me and my group member had finalized our project.We had included everything, also the things that Mr. Jones said. Our whole product was very good we had pictures and information, both at the right amount. We used our time wisely and concentrated on our work , we were not disrupted by other people. All the group members worked very well, as we all had a part, the work was 50/50 we both had the same amount of work.

 WE investigated for bullying information, pictures and then turned it into OUR OWN fantastic project! We designed our project so everything is laid out and in the right position. We Planned very well as we did about 3 posters until we had exactly what we wanted. The Creating stage was the best! we had a lot of fun,we made our own poster!

Or project worked well as the comment of Mr. Jones was 'Very good work you two'

We designed our project fantastically although we could approve on some information that we did. I would take a picture and change its opacity to low do it is see through and then i would put it as my background, this is what i would do differently. We thought it would take longer but we finished in an efficient time and had a good result. We had a few difficulties with the program that we made the poster with, example we couldn't move a picture because it would move the text, overall i did not like the program that we used, Mr. Jones did not know  either so we were kind of stuck until a peer of us told us how to do it. We saw many posters on the internet although we didn't think they were   as good as ours. The poster made me feel different, it changed my mind that bullying is REALLY  a BIG issue in many places and can cause many injuries.It probably also changed others to think like this. It changed the environment/society around me as people maybe read this poster and thought, ow yeah... thats right.. i should stop bullying people. The whole project was fun, although it was a lot of work i would NOT like to do it again.

Bullying poster

Bullying poster

I have done a bullying poster with the help of William. I think my poster has to much text and not enough pictures. So i made a new one similar to the first one but with less text. The reason why i put text on was because i wanted to give the person an idea about what bullying is. PLEASE comment on what poster is better.






If you have a problem reading the poster, click on the picture and it will open a new page with it in a big size.

Software we used

I have made my poster with pages, Pages is a system like Microsoft word, but it is for Mac.
The system is extremely easy to manage and has many tools such as Adding charts, changing fonts, size, etc.
I have a video to show about PAGES.

The disadvantages about this software is that if you are not used to it, it will be kind of hard to use. Because it is not exactly the same to Microsoft word.

Our poster questions

Our project is about making a poster about Anti-bullying POSTER. It is an easy and straight forward job. Because all research on bullying and make it into a poster. Then all we have to dois collect pictures and put the poster together, so it looks a bit like this:

I think we did well making this poster, because ours looks a bit like that too:


I think our poster provides good information and examples, therefore it could be very useful for some people.

Bullying

Bullying is a problem that is all over the world, mostly in kids life. Bullying is when a kid beats up, takes money and annoy other kids. This is tough for some kids and can cause many problems in their life, like depression. This problem is solved by counseling, which is sort of like Psychologist but in school.

These websites are very good in explaining what bullying is and they also provide some games as an example.There are lots of good information in these websites such as: What is bullying, what causes bullying and how you can solve it.

I think this website is the best, in information: http://pbskids.org/itsmylife/friends/bullies/
I think this website is very good for kids to understand better: http://sandeelee.blogs.com/
I think this website is alright but slightly less information: http://stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov/index.asp?area=whatbullyingis

pages

we are using pages for our project, we are going to make a poster with pages. pages has many features, it is like Microsoft word just made for mac, the features are nearly the same as making carts changing fonts, the size and colors of the text. it is a word processing program that we are using to make our poster.

The advantages are that it is very easy to use, pages is a good. The disadvantages are that i dont use mac software so it will be harder and bad to use

Our project is about making a anti-bullying poster. It is easier than making a game because you don't have to program it and all we have to do is get some picture about bullying, what types of bullying there are and also some information about bullying.

underneath is out poster and i think it could help many people in what bullying is and how to solve it.

bullying

Bullying is a bad matter to kids that can become dangerous in matter there are different kinds of bullying that are through the internet, with words, or physical bullying some people have trouble throughout their life later on.Kids may get hurt through words only also

there are some sites about bullying and i think that this is the best one: http://pbskids.org/itsmylife/friends/bullies/

for games this one is the best http://stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov/index.asp?area=whatbullyingis

and this site isn't that good for information and pictures: http://123elearning.wikispaces.com/cyberbullying+presentation

these are some pictures of the website:

BullyiNg

Bullying is common in different ways :

cyber bullying: in the internet with msn and different messengers

verbal bulling: bullying someone with works making them feel bad

physical bullying: actually offending the target and harming the person  

Bullying happens because people feel powerful when they do it,so they carry on and they feel good when they do it but it harms the people around them.

final evaluation

Your product is finished, or time has run out.

Now you need to evaluate two things:
A. How well does your product work? Does it do everything that you said it would do and does it do it well?

B. How well did you work at each stage of the design cycle?

It is best to do these in separate paragraphs.

One for your evaluation of your product and a separate paragraph for each stage of the Design Cycle:

• Investigation
• Design
• Plan
• Create
• Attitudes in Technology

1. yes my iweb worked well and it has a good cover, information and other things i have included everything eg, videos. My product works very well and i have found out that volcanoes have a lot of different features 

2. My stages were working very well, they had many different things that were interesting, i was inspired y volcanoes and have learnt many things. in my investigation i found many things, design was also good and easy. planning was good because straight away i found something. creating my website was fun and had all 5 pages. Things were not that good because sometimes it wouldn't work. But sometimes it worked and then i could carry on.

MAGMA

underneath the earths crust is magma, through weak spots at the earths surface extreme pressures forces the earths crust to break and then they form  volcanoes. The magma that erupts at the surface is called magma. Volcanoes spit out gas, rocks,lava and can also spit out hot ash,

HOW THE VOLCANO WORKS

1-magma goes through small cracks and creases but does not explode 

2-slighter thicker gas traps pressure builds up until ashes and rocks through the volcano opening 

3-when the dome bursts hot lava and rocks also ashes go out of the volcano opening and goes down the volcano slopes 

4-

volcanoes information more and more

volcanoes information ,,4

volcanoes destroy many things that are around volcanoes can be be 9000+degrees when the volcanic lava runs over things it can turn into stone also there is a town that was run over by lava and now it is made full of stone.

volcanoes

An active volcano is one that erupts regularly.

A dormant volcano is one that has not erupted for many years, although there is still some activity deep inside.

An extinct volcano has ceased to be active.

A volcanic eruption is when hot rocks and lava burst from a volcano.

Geysers are springs that throw boiling water high in the air. They are caused by volcanic heat warming trapped ground water.

Volcanoes can have a very serious effect on the lands and people around them when they erupt.

• Buildings are destroyed and people are made homeless.
• People are killed.
• Clouds of ash cover plants making them inedible.
• Poisonous gases kill people and animals.
• Dust causes pneumonia and illnesses to the survivors.
• Dark skies, severe winds and heavy rains may follow an eruption for months afterwards.

questions for IT--

question 1:Why is communication so important during an emergency?

communication during emergency is important because when people are in danger you have to work together to save lives. Example a fire, you communicate and tell people where the fire is so people don't walk into the danger

question 2:What forms of communication have been used during recent disasters e.g Hurricane Katrina, the Tsunam

1.shouting to tell people,phones to warn people.

question 3:What essential information needs to be communicated during a disaster or emergency?

where it is, when it will end, how powerful,how much time is left

question 4 : What information can be created before the emergency? What information needs to be communicated during the emergency?

a thing that can sensor the emergency and during the emergency the things that needs to be passed around where it is, when it will end, how powerful,how much time is left

question 5: What hardware and software is required to be able to communicate online?

computer/phone,internet

question 6:Which communication forms are synchronous?

The communication happening at this time of year is very useful like detection communication through phones laptops computers and they are developing more and more!

question 7:Which ones are asynchronous?

Now there are not happening old communication objects throughout the countries also

question 8:What type of information would be conveyed by each form?

As a saved draft saved text on a word document in your desktop. 

question 9:What is needed in hardware and software for each?

a computer chip a memory and space to fit saved work draft etc..
