MYP Technology Design Cycle

Investigate

First you have to know what the problem is. You need to know what you are going to do and what the importance is. In the end we should know how to discucuss appropriate questions, Identify appropriate sources, organize and evaluate the information and the sources. We should make a design specification.List the requirements and design tests.

Plan

To design the product we shouldgenerate many feasible design that meet the standards. We should evaluate the design and justify its choice. To plan the product we should construct a plan with logical steps. To make effective use of time and justify the plan.

Create

To create we have to use appropriate techniques competently and ensure that the others have a safe environment. We should follow the plan to get the product. We should make changes to the plan if we notice a problem. In the end we should have a product of appropriate quality.

Evaluate

To evaluate the product we must carry out tests and evaluate the success of the product based on testing. We must check the impact on the society. In the end we should check how it could've been improved. We should check how we used the design cycle including every stage and know ways that it could've improved.

Attitudes in Technology

This step in the design cycle is not really related to technology it is actually to incourage the student's personality and respect to the other students. During the course we should use our materials safely and with responsibility. We should work like a team and support others. We should show evidence that we are really participating in the subject.

"You need to know what you are going to do and what the importance is."
What do you need to do about what?
"In the end we should know how to discucuss appropriate questions"
Appropiate questions about what? What are the questions for?
Do you know what the Design Specification is?
What do you think feasible designs mean?
Which standards?
The plan to do what? What do you think the plan is for?
Good job on the Attitudes in Tech part!
