I am the teacher of the group, in other words I have to create a lesson plan for the students that has something to do with what our main Idea is of, its “E-Learning”. We are learning new stuff on it, and I have to make a lesson plan where we use E-Learning.
So far I finished designing and planning, I know what I’m going to do I’ve planned what I’m going to do and how. I still have to start creating.

evaluation

4. Comment on how well you worked on the project.
I think i did good on the project, i worked well but Mr.Jones thinks that i didnt do anywork.
5.What did you do well?
i did the pwerpoint slides well
6. What could you improve upon?
Maybe i could add a little of information to our powerpoint
7.What would you do differently...and why?
I Wanted to do games but it didnt work out well, if we had much more time i would do games because it is more interesting to know about.
8. Compare your predicted time plan with the actual project process and give reasons for changes.
it was diffrent because we took more time finding websites for games and at the end we didnt do games we changed our prject to power point.

9. Comment on any difficulties you had while doing this project and how you overcame them.
we had troubled with finding games to do, we first overcame them by making the games animations but then we didnt have time so we changed it to power point.
10.Mention feedback you received from your testers and summarise / analyse the results.
My Teacher Got very ngry beasue he said that we didnt do anything and that we dont have screen shot, i agree on the screen shots but we didnt have any because we didnt have anything to picture but now beacause we finished our Power Point presentation i will now put som scree shots on my blogger :D
11. Explain the impact of your project. product on;
• Yourself - I learnt alot about bullying adn i created a great power point presentation to help kids being bullyed.
• Others - I gave information for kids being bullied to be much more safe and not be scared to tell an adult.
• The environment/society - It ,aked the playgrounds in school safer to be in and also other places.

We have spent the last 2 weeks trying to find websites that show us how to make games but we couldn't find anything , now we decided to change our group from games to a bullying power point. 

Me and my group spent the last 4 lessons trying to find sites that show us how we could make games and animations.        

How can I make use of established and emerging technology tools to support media awareness about bullying in school? What are the best tools to use for effective communication?

You can use them to show how bad bullying in school is and how it effects all the kids in a bad way , also how to deal with bullying or bullying without being aware of it.

Videos , Games and very creative colourful brochures.

What are the features of each animation software? In other words, describe what each can do and what they can create.

Brochures ; Can Be Passed around to people , if they are colourful they might be very attractive to children and their attitude towards bullying.

Posters ; The same as brochures they must be colourful and useful to attract the children to be affective.

games ; They Are very Fun , And The Children Will Learn In A Fun & Safe Environment.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using each one?

The advantage of games out of the 3 is that they're learning while playing a fun game , children learn better when the affect of learning if out in a attractive way .

Bullying Investigation

What is Bullying ? 

Bullying is when people hit, kick, tease, call names etc ...   to other people . 

Bulling can happen anywhere, anyplace.

All the websites I looked at are well designed and their information is clear for all ages, all different people look at bullying websites , like kids,counsellors,parents and teenagers everyone looks at bullying websites for alot of different reasons. 

Usually the websites are for us to get some information from but in some different websites you can do alot of things , some have quizzes or games to help you learn better. But some of the games are usually made for kids but sometimes they are hard which is then supposed to be for teenagers.

this is a good website because it has good information,its not very busy, its not boring, it has pictures, the colors are simple. This site would help me alot in my project because I understand the words and its very clear.  

http://websearch.about.com/od/effectivesearchstrategies/a/naturaldisaster.htm   (bad website)

this is a bad website because it doesn't have any good information, its very boring, it has alot of links and it doesn't look interesting.  I wouldn't want to read this to help in my project because it has alot of words i don't understand it has alot of information that i might not need and alot of links.

What essential information needs to be communicated during a disaster or emergency?
1. That a disaster is coming or happening 

2. To be prepared

3. To have somewhere to live if their house has been damaged or blown away

4. To have food and water 

What information can be created before the emergency? What information needs to be communicated during the emergency?

Information Created before the emergency can tell everyone in that area that there will be a hurricane or tsunami etc .... and they would have to get ready.

They could use Internet, I phones, Television, etc....... 

What hardware and software is required to be able to communicate online?

Mobiles, Laptops, I pods, Computers

C. How can the Internet be used to help a community prepare for and survive a disaster?

It can help by telling alot of people the dangers happening, they could use facebook and other sites  and let everyone know about what's happening in the world. Everyone uses the internet.
