This project, which requires you to assist new students to High school learn how to do better MYP Computer Applications projects, is due on Friday May 8, 2009.
You are required to do the following:
- Create a product that will assist a new student in better understanding how to do an MYP project. This could involve teaching two of the criteria or building a tutorial that will assist the student in gaining skill in a useful application. (eg. Photoshop).
- Create a write up that covers two of the MYP Computer Applications criteria. (eg. Investigation and Evaluation)
Your work will be assessed on both the quality of the product and the write up.
If you have any further questions, please contact Mr. Balcer or Mr. Drien Vargas.

Create your own web site inside your Web Documents folder.
Your web site has to consist of:
-
A personal web page showing your basic personal information, interests, skills, academic and work experience. The idea here is to set up your own “Curriculum Vitae” or formal personal profile page online. This should be your main page, with links to your blog and podcasts/photo album. (1 point for contents, 2 for working links; 3 points in total)
-
A personal blog. Informal, four entries minimum (1 point). Each entry should include a multimedia element, such as photos, audio, or movies (1 point), and at least one web widget (1 point; 3 points in total).
-
Include the previous podcast project in your web site. Alternatively, you may create a photo album page with original photos taken by yourself (1 point).
The duration of this project is two weeks/six lessons.
Please refer to the iWeb Links post for more information and tutorials on how to create a web site with iWeb ‘08.

How to present survey results Tuesday, 27 January 2009

This is a question we often hear as we go through our Investigation stage of the MYP Design Cycle.
When you survey a group of people, remember to make a reasonable number of questions that are pertinent to your topic. Design your questions so the answers are specific and easy to quantify; that’s why you always hear us recommending multiple choice, yes/no, and Likert scale types of items for surveys.
If you need to ask open questions, then do interviews better.
Going back to our post title, please head to this web page that shows the results of a survey in a really neat way:

What are podcasts?
Tutorials on how to make podcasts with Apple Garageband
Tips on creating podcasts
Free Audio recording software (for Windows)
- http://www.goodkatshare.com/?page_id=26
- http://www.nbxsoft.com/sound-recorder.php
- http://www.audio-tool.net/audio_recorder_for_free.html
Non-Free Audio recording software (for Windows)
- Podcast Maker
- Music Maker (similar to Garageband)
- Music Studio (professional audio & music production)
- You will also find similar software by Sony (Acid = Music Maker, Sound Forge = Music Studio)
Example of a podcast, notice how the beginning (first 30 seconds) include information such as:
- The podcast title
- Episode number
- Date
- Place
- Author
- Web address (URL)
- Jingle (music/musical theme)

More examples of podcasts here:
- http://www.geekbrief.tv/ is a very good example of a brief, fresh and interesting approach on (video) podcast news
- http://www.stephenfry.com/media/ there is a special “Audio” section with podcasts that you may want to check, in addition to the other media
