REFLECTION

I rate my self a 4 due to the way i identified the problem in which i need to teach a 6th grader the design cycle,also due to the developed design brief which will help my reach my goal , with my final design specification.

When rating the simplicity of my first design which is a power point, the simplicity came to be a 3 from a highest score of a 5 being the most difficult.When creating the power point it was the depth and commitment that made the power point have a simplicity rating of 3 due to the ease of how quick a power point can be done, but the depth added along with commitment raised the rating to an over all 3.

When rating the Theme of my power point it came to a 4 due to the creativity ,depth, and perception in which it can be clearly seen what the theme is and at the same time it proves to be an inviting theme which will show interest in the subject.

When rating my Font i decided it would be a solid 3 considering the font size was perfectly average not too big but not too small also when deciding to rate my font size i also took into account the variety of fonts of which i did not have giving myself a 3.

When rating the knowledge i take into consideration 3 aspects to that one subject. What the student has learned,what was taught,and the over all knowledge retained.

To teach a 6th grader about the design cycle i have compared both ClassTools.net And Purpose Games.com and overall decided to go with ClassTools.net since the format in which this site attempts to teach is very intriguing and eye appealing where as Purpose Games is too direct and simple.

ClassTools.net gives off a rather interesting setting to the game in which every question that is answered correctly is rewarded with an intriguing point system.Purpose Games give no award to every question.
