Design project-day 3

This game does match our descriptions because it is fun to play and it is not that easy nor that hard. Also it is going to be colorfull and sparkly.

The most powerfull ideas we have are the prizes and how we made them so people cant just take them with out winning. Also the different hole sizes.

At first we wanted to do circles but we would do squares now because it is easier to construct if we choose squares.


What needs to be done to make the model is:
We need to build the model then we paint it and then we make the prizes and put them in the spaces for the prizes we also constructed.

What needs to be done:
1. First we need to cut a large piece of cardboard that will then be cut into 3 equal pieces.
2. In the middle piece of cardboard we will cut out squares of different sizes. 
3. We will then fold it so it makes a cube with only 3 sides having the squares in the front.
4. Then we will take another piece of cardboard with the same width as the cube and make it a slope and stick it to the back of the cube. 
5. Finally we will create small shelves according to each square size to place the prize.
6. After having the model done we will paint and decorate it with pink and sparkling things. 
We will all work together to complete each task.

Other materials we need are paint, glitter, brushes, prizes, bisturi, little bags and maybe duct tape.
Nicole will bring everything except the brushes which Tatiana would bring and I would bring the glitter.

Design project-day 2

Tatianas Drawing: A good thing is it is very creative the butterflies as holes, bad it is harder to put the candy and to get the ball in so it would be very hard.
Nicole's Drawing: A good thing is she has an organized and a bad thing is it might get to repetitive.
My Drawing: A good thing is it is easier to create but it is very dull and boring.

The drawing with the most strengths is Nicole's because it is easy to do easy to understand and play yet not so easy it gets boring.

Details from other model we will include is paint butterflies around the circles from Tatianas idea and my idea for different circle sizes.

Something we would like to add is something to cover up the prizes and to put them in little bags. Something we would like to get out is having the same candy.

Feedback: Make the holes squares not circles so it is easier to do and play as well so there is also margin of error. They thought we constructed it very well and that the prizes where a good idea. Other feedback we received was putting points so when the candy is all won people can keep playing.

Define Phase:
1) Who will the game be for?
Elementary girls
2) Difficulty of game?
Medium
3) What makes the game fun?
Candy prizes, different colors, different hole sizes, big and sparkly and better prices each time yo play.

Research Phase:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrT_lAnfwKI: A good thing about this game is that it is fun, you can use different birds and you can control where it goes. A bad thing is that when you throw all the peices then you have to put them back up again which can make it kind of boring.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14uE5jdJZYg: A good thing about this game is everybody knows how to use it and it is very colorfull and interactive which makes it fun. A bad thing is it is kind of hard to do and you can cheat on this game very easily.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irGKDoPWc9U: A good thing about this video is it is really fun and it is not so hard to construct. A bad thing is that you may cheat on this game very easily like just take the prizes, you could also make it harder because it is too easy to play.

Ideation Phase:

Brainstorm: A claw game in which you match the animal with its baby, a game in which you you push 2 things out of different covered toilet paper rolls and if they match you get to get the prices, we had an idea to throw a ball and different sized cones and if they got in you could take the prize that was inside.

The idea we chose was the last one. This game would be fun because it would be very collorfull and you will have different prizes to win, it is also fun because you would have different levels of difficulty it would be easy yet a little bit challenging.

Some things that could go wring with the game is people just grabbing the prizes, some of the circles being to easy and the prizes to run out on that one, people getting to close so it would be too easy, some levels being to hard. To avoid those we could make the prizes go out of like a slide so people cant take them, also give extra prizes for the teacher in case the candy runs out.

Homework:

Idea Picture:

Virtual Fieldtrip

Villa de Leyva
Find 10 photos of thing people should see or visit in that place.
For each photo write a 3-4 sentence description.
This photos with description need to be on a web 2.0 tool.
The link for this tool goes on the blog and is emailed to Ms.Shawn at sallen@cng.edu

Here is my Prezi

Tech Tool Evaluation

Stixy:

This is the first website

Three things I like about this Site:

• I like how you can share all your work with other people and they can collaborate.
• I like how you can customize almost everything in this website such as themes and colors.
• I like how you can just drag the note, document or image into the screen and you click on it and its ready to go.

Three Things that Could be Improved:

• I think stixy should have the stixy page that says everything about how to use it as the homescreen so you become more interested and informed.
• I think the first page you see should be a litte bit more organized and asthetcally pleasing.
• Organization in general is lacking so thats one thing they can improve.

Two Ways to Use This:

• Organize my schedule
• Do a project that involves someone else.

Mentimeter:

This is the second website

Three things I like about this Site:

• I like how it replaces the papers on a hat to vote. It looks more professional.
• I like how the ideas is so original and I never thought an app like this existed.
• I like how you can use your own mobile phone to vote and it is easy to do.

Three things that Could be Improved:

• There should be more themes and more colors.
• I think there should also be an app for this not only the website.
• Also I think the title of the tool is not so great I would think it was a centimeter converter or something like that.

Two Ways to Use This:

• By asking people in an audience to use this instead of raising hands.
• To choose the name of your new pet.
