    Quia Activity- Do Now :)

    my plan is to google and look for images so i can start creating my video in iMovie. once i have the images ill start brainstorming for what i want my video to look like. my video is on selling and buying online and how it affects society and our financial probleams and economics.

    next class i hope i have almost half of my video finished so i can start adding voices and writting so people can read and listen at the same time. i give my self a 7 because ive never done a video in iMovie but um exited cuz its my first time! :)

    googling myself :D

    when i google myself it came out my blog, facebook, and some images of my blog. if i make my facebook private and not comment anything in public groups or pages then there would be no digital trace of me. also if i make my blog private then when you googled me then there would be no digital trace of me but since my blog is school and no personal it doesnt matter that much.

    Digital Commerce

    1. “THE INTERNET has had an amazing impact on my business,” says Bill Barker, a long-time fossil dealer whose Internet “handle” is Doc Fossil. “In past years, I had to spend months on the road travelling between shows and then setting up for anything between three days and three weeks in order to sell my material. Now I simply take a digital photo of the specimen I have for sale, throw it up for auction on any number of fossil-oriented Web sites like eBay and amazon.com, and the bids come in from around the world. I've sold pieces to collectors in Japan and Sweden this week alone - people I probably never would have met along the show circuit.” article :)
    2. The internet can open up new opportunities for your business to buy and sell goods or services online. article :)
    3. While eBay has been the champion of online auctions in the United states for years article :)
    4. The internet is full of millions of websites selling goods and services to the same clientele at relatively the similar price. This huge variety of options makes it hard for any one business to seize a large portion of the environment without making investments in a large marketing program. article :)
    5. A simple way to do this is by offering buyers a choice and use New Zealand Post’s extensive network to complete your trades in the most efficient and economic way possible. article :)
    6. This study investigated how consumers’ previous online shopping experience influences their perception of product, financial, and privacy risk associated with online shopping article :)
    7. Just want to buy things, they open the computer, jewelry, clothing, shoes, books and even pharmaceuticals, household appliances must be purchased on-line.
    8. Psychiatrist pointed out that many people like, this state will be affected long-term social skills, and may even develop into obsessive-compulsive disorder. article :)
    9. According to the survey, negative information that people have read online has increased the percentage of those who were looking to buy a product to not buy it, up 12% in over 1 year. On the flip side, positive reviews have increased as well the reinforcement of a buyer making an online purchase of a product. article :)

    Investigation Reflection


    5–6 (95 / 100) You explained the problem, discussing its relevance.
    You critically investigated the problem, evaluating information from a broad range of appropriate, acknowledged sources.
    You described detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.


    I rate myself a 5 because i explained the probleam which is to teach the 6th graders to use and understand the Design Cycle. Im using a game to teach the 6th graders about the Design Cycle, i compared the game and video because at first i didnt know which one to use since teachers use both all the time so i had to comapre them in everything in simplecity, graphics, music, animation, educational, and entertainment from 1-5. I critically investigated the probleam because i learned the design cycle and learned how to use before i teach it to some 6th graders. I learned how to use both the video and the game and i watched some videos from the video website and i played some games from the game website. I evaluated both websites and did acounts for both so i can expirience how and learn how the website works and if i can save or edit my work once im finished. I also described detailed methods for apropiete testing and i gave reasons to evaluate the product and solution against the design specification.

    I rated the game a 4 on simplecity
    because i think its really simple to
    use and really good and easy for the
    6th graders to remember the design
    cycle and memorize it. Its fast, simple
    and basic for 6th graders to use and
    learn and have fun learning.
    I rated graphics a 4 because since its a
    game it has alot of graphics and little
    cartoons and characters and decorations.
    It has graphics but not alot so i didnt
    give it a 5 but since im not focusing in
    graphics but in the content and how
    the 6th gradeers will learn.
    In music i gave it a 3 becuse it has
    music but not alot a variety but i rated
    it more than the video because in music
    content its better than the video.
    In animation is gave it a 4 beacuse it has
    alot of really cute animation designs that
    6th graders would like to see in a
    educational game because they seem
    like its not really a game to learn but just
    to have fun. The animatins are nice and
    cute but they dont disctract the 6th graders
    from learning.
    In education i gave it a perfect score of a
    5 because its a really great game for the
    student to learn and its not boring so you
    kill two birds from one shot. You ebtertain
    6th graders while teaching them the
    Design Cycle they need to know.
    In entertainment i gave it a 4 becuause
    even thought its not a game for fun the
    6th graders still have fun playing this types
    of games while they learn and play at the
    same time. Its the perfect combination for
    a young kid that wants to learn in a easy
    and fun way.

    I gave the video a score of 3 on simplecity because it
    wasnt really complicated but it wasnt that basic eighter.
     It took some effort to do but not alot and also it was
     easy to understand with basic words for 6th graders to
    understand.
    In graphics i gave it a 4 because it has really great
     graphics and really cute characters. It would entertain
    the 6th graders with the cool characters but they would
     concentrate on the graphics and not on the facts and
    the Design Cycle informtion.
    In music i gave it a 2 because it has music but thats not
    the main requirment im looking for. The video has
    more music options and has a larger variety to choose
    from so the game got a 2 on music because it doesnt
    have alot of options.
    On animation i rated a 2 because it hardly has any
    animation since its only anwsers to questions.
    There is not alot of decoration or cartoon characters
    like the video game. The only animation there is is
    in the game is very little and since the video is a movie
    clip then obviously it has more animation.
    In education i gave it a 1 because it i think a video
    doesnt really aducate a 6th grader because its like a
    movie and its so easy to get disrtacted and not pay
    attention. A game you actually have to anwser
    questions and a viedo is just looking at something
    teaching yourself and a game is like a review.
    In entertaiment i gave it a 2 because a video is just
    like a movie clip and when a teacher puts a movie
    clip for the studentsto watch everyone gets disrtcted
    and no onme pays attention. Everyone thinks its
    boring and no one learns anything, so personally i
    think an educational video is not entertaining at all.

    Day 3- Investigation

    Today i decided that im going to do a game using purposegames.com because like that they will be able to memorize it. The reason i decided not to use goanimate.com and make a video because im a student and i know that when a teacher puts us an educational video almost nobody pays attention becuase the video is just talking and talking not pausing if we have a question or a comment to make.

    Day 2-Investigation

    -Purposegames.com
      for this it seems that i can do a game like for the 6th graders to memorize it. its a pop quiz style because it gives you like all the pieces of information and it asks you wich one is wich but it really just helps the 6th graders memorize it. <3


    -Goanimate.com
    this is more a video that the 6th graders watch because they dont pick an anwser or anything they just watch and learn. (;
