Reflection

         As to my reflection over my investigation was fair i believe that my investigation was good. I worked really hard on it ,and it got to the point. I explained everything in a way that made my explanation great to comprehend. I was lacking information , but i am working on that. Therefore i would rate myself a 3-4 . All though i am not satisfied with that i will try to be adding as much information i can as possible. I have been analyzing all my data ,and i feel confident that my data will end up as a good performance.

In general I was very satisfied with the two choices I made to help out the six graders understand what exactly was the design cycle. That was the Go Animate, and the Domo Animate. They are very student friendly, and extremely easy to you. That is the reason I like about using this software. The following program maybe excellent for many 6th graders knowledge, but it as well has its negative aspects. The first program I will evaluate is the Domo Animate which was one of my favorite options to use, so far it has been the best only because it’s accessible. All though Go Animate is Petty fun to use ass well.

         Not only is it easy but it’s a very favorable option. It is actually like making a cartoon drawings in real life, but instead it’s digitalized. As you can see in many people have used the Domo Animate format in their own style by performing their main point or idea. For example in my case I will use it explain the design cycle. In fact it authorizes the creator to use this however you like. This app is commendable of its popularity among copious users, because of its excellencies.         The topic choice is immeasurable. Therefore the people that are using this software are the ones that choose every single detail in this Animation process . In the other hand Go Animate does not give you much freedom to do what you want. That’s why my preference is the  Domo Animate I am not cretin if I’m going to add any music choices,but their is a high possibility i am going to. Although adding any type of back round music is extremely  manageable. You have a board with character choices, background settings, music, and possibly any props. This program has a lot of options for the creator to choose. Know it may sound complicated , but believe me its extremely simple. How it sounds is how it is, and you will not be disappointed. The Only reason some people would not like is because its a bit time consuming depending on how long you want your animations. That why i believe its very important for me to mange time.

         Then you have the Go Animate. Which is not as magnificent as the Domo Animate, but it is still a useful program. Even though I would have to say it may be a bit puzzling. It is still pretty simple like the Domo animate . Although I may recommend the Domo Animate more just ,because it has more option to use. The Go animate may be a more complicated program, but it may look more professional as you can say. I was looking for something that comes out of you not something that in a way can control you. The program of the Go animate has virility of limitations, and the music was not the type I wanted, so that gave it a thumbs down for me. You can’t express your imagination and intelligence if it’s going to limit you. One thing that was mocking me was that i didn't find a way to save your work ,so be aware of that ,because it can become extremely frustrating if you worked on something for to long ,then it all goes to a waste.

In conclusion I have found two similar like programs, and have my preference. As you can see in some aspects they maybe the same, but they each have their own purposes on why they were made. All I ask is to analyze which one suits you the best.  These two have their own way of expressing and explaining their own ideas. The Go Animate is very professional ,but tends to have its own negative aspects .Then the Domo animate is much more complicated too handle, but is fun to use ,and has more options to choose from. It’s up to you if you want a challenge then Domo Animate is for you, but if you like being professional then I would choose the Go Animate.

Reflection

I would like to do a flip book. I will need to do some pictures explain how the design cycle is used. Showing the steps of the design cycle. I started of by getting on the main page were it showed me the flip book page. I really got convinced seeing all the animations and picture. I belive that if it helped me learn ,then it will most definetly help the sixth grade. Then i saw different options. One of them was the comic books. In a way it is similler ,but it seemed to me that the flip book was more exiting.
