Planning Stage to Creation Stage
Posted by Madeline Brownstone on November 2, 2006
Wednesday B-Day 1st/5th Periods (November 1, 2006)
Thursday A-Day 1st /4th periods (November 2, 2006)
Guiding Questions:
- What needs to be done before we begin creation stage??
- How do we do planning for a group project?
- How is it different from an individual project?
- Under what conditions would it be reasonable to beging the creation of the city before the entire planning stage is completed?
Due Today:
Design Stage Portfolio (See rubrics under HANDOUTS)
- Needs Analysis
- Your design map
- Your justification of why you selected the best design
In class today we worked on the final draft of the design, collaborated on what the first three or four tasks of creation will be, and reviewed the common problems from the last assessment.
On the last assessment for planning, many students were confused about allocating the 7 resources of techology. Take note:
- stay focused on the context: you are preparing for the creation stage, at the creation stage of this project you will be working on the Sim City file.
- material of the actual product you will make (Sim City file)
- information (what information can be found in that file?)
Logical tasks (just list the first three or four for now in class):
- from this point onward (not all the tasks involved in every stage of the design cycle)
- tasks should take you from the begining of the creation stage to the end of creation.
Time Management
- you’ll be making a Gantt Chart (in class)
Homework Due Wednesday/Thursday (use Google Docs or bring evidence of work):
- Complete the allocation of the 7 Resources of Technology
- Begin the logical list of tasks to be done at the creation stage.
