What Can I Do?

In this unit, you are given a lot more freedom. You will have the opportunity to showcase what you have learnt this year in Technology. You will be assessed on the technology skills you display and also on your execution of the Design Cycle.

You are required to identify a problem or area of concern that affects your country (you can interpret this in anyway you like).

You will be required to present a technology solution of your choice. This solution should be a solution that displays how you as an individual can contribute to the solution of this problem. you have worked with a number of software packages over the last three years. Your solution can be based on any one of those or indeed any other package. However, your final product must be suitable and fit into one of the categories shown below.

 * Identify a problem from your country which YOU can do something about by creating a technology solution.
 * Create a Plan for the entire unit. This plan should constitute the deadlines which you will need to follow. It must include deadlines for all the stages of the Design Cycle. Your project must be completed by the ** 31st of May **
 * You will be split into groups. At EACH stage of the Design cycle, when you have finished (but before the deadline), tell the members of your group to comment on that stage. You will do the same for them. The comments should indicate what you have done well and also what you can do to improve your work. You should then make adjustments before you move on. If you find that you do not agree with the suggestions given about your work, first discuss it with the person who made the comment. If you still disagree, both of you should address the matter with your teacher.
 * You will make comments by creating a new discussion on the persons page. To do this, you will need to click on the underlined button shown below.



** DO NOT EDIT SOMEBODY ELSE'S PAGE. **


 * For the create stage, you will be required to show evidence of skills that you use. for example if you use layers in a picture, show evidence of this. You teacher will not know by looking at your final product.
 * You will be required to produce evidence for Criteria F (attitudes in technology) showing how you have demonstrated engagement with the subject, how you have worked out of class (homework).
