Design Project Day 2

PROTOTYPE phase
1. Look at the drawings from each person in your group and discuss strengths and weaknesses of each.

Juanita, Camila and Me

• We did it pretty basic and didn't in depth with details so they pretty looked much the same.

Isabella

• She did it more detailed so it was easier to understand. She added more spinners to make it more fun and she did two different races for the users.

Design Project Day 1

Group

• Sofia Aldana
• Federico Abello
• Claudia Beltran

DEFINE PHASE

Users

• Primary boys and girls.

Difficulty

• Medium.

What Makes a Game Fun:

• Getting candy.
• Not too girly.
• Not too easy not too difficult.
• Flying things.
• Colorful.

RESEARCH PHASE

• Pinball Machine
• It really seemed entertaining and the little boy was amused but the two things you use to push the pinball up and avoid losing were too short.
• Caine's Labyrinth
• I really like how you didn't only have to get the little ball in one whole but there were also holes that made you lose making the game a bit more challenging. Maybe to make it even more fun for the users would be giving them a prize, even a small one if the person loses. There were many holes that made you lose so it was difficult.
• Fishing Game
• This was something different because all of the videos were about the same thing. Maybe adding more fishes or making it more colorful would make it more fun.

IDEATION PHASE

Ideas

• Pinball machine.
• Fishing game.
• Ticket Grab.

WE CHOSE: Ticket Grab

What Makes This Game Fun?

·         Little papers are flying around.

·         You get a prize at the end.

·         The prize you get depends on the color of the paper.

What Could Go Wrong?

FINAL PRESENTATION

Tech Tool Evaluation

Tech Tools

• Evernote
• YouTube Quiz

Evernote

What I liked

1. You can save anything (texts, videos, pictures, audio)
2. You can have access to it from anywhere (computers, iPods, iPads, cellphones, tablets)
3. Keeps everything synced.

Drawbacks/What could be improved

1. Syncing without internet connection.
2. Limited space.
3. Problems with fonts.

How I could use it

1. Having all my notes in one place and ready for class.

YouTube Quiz


What I liked

1. Complements my videos by making them more interactive.
2. If I'm watching videos to study something it can help review.
3. Helps the audience catch the main ideas of the video.

Drawbacks/What could be improved

1. It doesn't show the one watching the video whether the answer was right or wrong.
2. Maybe adding more features to it  to make it more dynamic.
3. Finding another way to show it rather than annotations because the color isn't really nice.

How I could use it

1. Making my videos more interactive.
