My work on MYP Computer Technology – Grade 8

The strengths of my Digital Portfolio are that it is attention-grabbing (the background, black, goes well with all the images and I chose that color for exactly that) and by already having all the content needed it made it easier for me to make it look simple and include all the information needed. The weekness's were that I hadn't included the specific details as to how I had edited the images that I had edited (The Photoshops and the IB Leaner Posters) because I personally felt that with all the other projects due and only 6 lessons that the amount I had done may not get me a perfect grade but it was to my personal extent. Throughout the entire year I believe that I was very distracted and talked too much but I was able to get a majority or all of my work done in the end (Maybe not to the standards I could have but my work was average) but not all of it was done in time. I think that in order for me to have a better year I should talk less. I mainly researched for my Cost Of Living projects since I needed to find prices and the exchange rates for 2 currencies in the time. I  mostly designed, planned and created for the rest of the tasks in different aspects of every single one of my tasks. For my HTML and Dreamweaver I had to mentally design and plan what I imagined them to look like and then finally bring it to life. For my Photoshop projects I had to first find out how to edit the photos with the programme, which was part of my designing and planning, before I finally created them. The IB Learner Posters were a lot easier because my partner and I were very familiar with Picnik before we even started the project. Making the Digital Portfolio was very easy because I already knew how to use Dreamweaver from an earlier project which made it even easier for me to make my portfolio. I was happy after completing the Design Cycle because after finishing one thing it allowed me to move on to another and in the end I was gung-ho about the ending result. I felt too many feelings throughout my entire MYP Grade 8 Technology course experience for me to write down but I was mostly either happy or stressed from completing something or from being late with a project.

    Cos of living project???? mmmmm.... Not done thsi year! :(

    Your reflection is a not well organized. I can understand the pieces, but they seem to be not connected. You included reflections for previous Tasks in this post...

    Talking about your DP, I hope this is only the beginning of it, you have to continue updating and improving it. As mentioned since the beginning of the year, a DP is a tool to show your learning and to share products, reflections and experiences to a wider community. You have now the basic one, with some information about each project for my class and other classes. There are a lot of additional things you can do on your DP. This the starting point, how far to go??? It depends on YOU!

    Have a great summer and see you next year!
