Identities and Relationship

Introduction: 

Why I have chosen Identities and Relationships:

I have chosen identities and relationship because i feel that the things that i am going to be doing about are about my identities and my relationship with my friends and family. I am probably going to do a scratch about me playing football with my friend. The reason that I am going to be doing it about football is because I love playing football. I have played football when i was at a very young age and yet I still play it. But I have had many injuries and that stops me. I will be a lot doing of creative thinking on scratch because I have many ideas I would like to share, and I have learnt a lot in scratch such as doing new things with the characters. I will also be doing lots of research to see what new things scratch can do and have.

                              

Justification: 

 What suits my project? 

Identities

Hobbies

Family and relationships:

All the three things are related because my family and most of my friends are interested in sport, but especially football (soccer). I have been introduced to football because of my dad, i have been trained for a long time, so now i will be taking my hobby to scratch program so i can share it with the rest of the people. One of my identities is playing football and one of my friend’s hobbies is playing football so is my dad’s and brother. Now I will be putting a program on scratch because that is talking about friends. That there is a lonely a girl and that I came and helped her because that before happened to me and we ended up with a good relationship between us. I like playing and doing work on scratch because it is a fun way of showing what you like in such a simple way.

reflection on scratch

what was my inspiration?
My inspiration is to learn how to do many different things on scratch such as the glide changing the background and changing the characters

how did u do that?


what did you get stuck on? how did you get unstuck?
i got stuck on making the background of scratch, but after that i learnt how to do it and ended up creating different backgrounds. I also got stuck on drawing a picture of me  wouldn't want to take a picture so i drew myself .
what are you most proud of?
i ma proud of the moves that i came up with like move 15 degrees left or right or forward and back. My favorite one was the glide. i also liked making the different sounds.
what might you do next?
i could have improved on my dialogue and talking to myself, i could have improved on testing many different new sounds i have only used the drum, but i should have used more sounds to make my scratch more interesting.

Evaluation- Criterion D

For the tech fair Malak and I did it about the photo booth. We did that because we thought it was a creative and simple thing to do. We started by getting the card board box to make the actual photo booth. We planned how it is going to be on a piece of paper so we can see how it will end up looking like. WE then cut a big hole in the photo booth so people can go in it and go out of it. Malak was in charge of the DIY (do it yourself) because she was very creative and loves art. i was in charge of decorating the photo booth itself. After that we got a stand to put the camera on it so it can take the picture or we can hold it ourselves. 
Time management:

We used our time wisely, we could do that because we are close friends and we could go to each other’s house anytime so we can finish the photo booth in time. But we could have spent more time on it.

Team Work:
we have worked well together well and spread out the work evenly. WE helped each other when we ere I trouble and we all put the ideas in the photo booth.  We could have spent some more time together doing the photo booth.

Obstacles to overcome:  

There were many obstacles in our photo booth, especially the most important ones such as the size of the photo booth itself. Some simple problems is what background should be colour it should be because it is for girls and boys.

Should we be in the tech fair?

We would like to be in the tech fair but I think that our standards were not high enough for the tech fair. i think it could be tech fair worthy but i find it hard to talk in front of people about the things that i did.

reflection on Flyer

                                                                    REFLECTION 

Rania, Arthur and I did a flyer about RAM which stands for (random access memory.) we did the flyer on Arthur's computer, Rania researched the basic facts about it and i researched of where it could be found and we both of us researched interesting facts about it. Arthur loves to play games so he is like a gamer, he knew almost everything about it, he has used his prior knowledge about RAM. i have learnt many things about RAM such as what does it stand for ( random access memory) and that it is very important to have it in your computer, because if you do not  have it you may not be able to have many tabs open at the same time ( if it is in a computer) and that it is the most common type of memory found in laptops, computer and other devices such as printers. I would like to improve on working faster in projects or tasks or at least finish it by the time that is given to you. We have worked well together in our groups, we have communicated, we collaborated and we spread the work easily between ourselves.

national agenda and technology

national agenda

definition: 

it is when the most important people of the country( in the UAE) Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and the other very important people are going to meet and discuss a formal meeting 

 national agenda:

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai has made a seven year agenda leading to the UAE. The national sectors include education, healthcare, economy, police and security, housing, infrastructure and government services. they UAE is trying to make the UAE the safest and happiest place in the world, there are lots of security , polices in their position. they UAE is working to improve the quality of air preserving water sources, increasing the contribution of clean energy and implementing green growth plant. i agree with trying to improve the quality of air because of pollution and the factories are always bringing out smoke up to the air and makes everyone sick and may cause serious damages. 

how to make this environment good throughout technology:

there are many ways to make the UAE as it is by using technology, there are many apps and websites to keep track of what is going on. you can also raise awareness on a survey website such as a website called server monkey the website for this is https://www.surveymonkey.com. You can use this website because it can go public and everyone would see it and also see what they do to Dubai and how will they help it.

we can use advertisements to raise awareness, they could go on television on your smart phones, any kind of devices and everyone could see it. 

My opinion:

I agree with what Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is saying, we want Dubai to be the place with the best education (universities, college, high school and school in general) we also do not  want to have pollution polluting the UAE.

reflection

Reflection for advertisement:

In IT class we have been learning about advertisement for the past few weeks. And so one of our tasks was to make awareness for any product of your choice and you may also make up your own, and decided to make up my own product so named it Pelo gorgeous which means in Spanish beautiful hair, so I decided to do that. First I had to plan it on this paper and (i will be putting the picture under this reflection) we had to give our product appealing adjectives and mine were: soft , natural, long, rich, fresh, and beautiful. Questions to hook your reader: what are you waiting? What are the benefits of this product: softer hair and longer hair, my slogans are magnificent hair begins here and no more tears. What is the key information? Coast, special offers, sizes and competitions. What are methods that I can use to persuade my reader I have written this: pictures, buy 1 get 1 free, trailer and discounts. And for what I’m actually going to do for the final is I am first going to write the introduction, how it works what is the name of the product,   then I am going to tell them about the special offers, after that i will introduce the competitions, and at the end I will review what I have done, I will also put pictures surrounding the information I have put.
