Final Reflection

Did I really finish blogging? Well maybe for this subject, however, not for future learning. Throughout this course i have taken in so much more raw material for the classroom. Since this is my final year, I have completed many courses about digital design, however, I have not witnessed one, which was more in-depth then the one this course provided. It has been hard to maintain a blog and of course I was not up to date with mine. For this assessment piece I have had to rely on skills, which have been taught by other courses and this one, my knowledge of today's modern classroom and my forever battles I have when it comes to using technology.

Throughout this course I have provided my knowledge about concept making and the Technology Design Cycle, Matrix for Design, understanding sustainability and the future of technology. 
 Now, I am still going back and making adjustments to all my tools and blogs, because I keep learning to do so much more. I'm not going to lie, but I'm still having difficulties in using some of the tools introduced this term, but I'm generally learning and thinking how it can be incorporated into my classroom.

Another adjustment I am contributing to is my constant battle with my design challenge. It is true that i have completed all the tasks asked for me to complete in assessment part A, however, there is always this little function in my mind that changes and assess everything I complete. I am sure if I was to complete my design challenge in the classroom, i would still be reflecting on my work. I also never knew the complexity of Design technologies in a classroom. I thought I always knew the complete topic and the depth, however, I found out I only knew the top layer of how complex and in-depth Technology Design is.

I enjoyed working with my group and our Wikipage. My group seemed well on task and had the most extravagant ideas I have ever seen with a design challenge. I also enjoyed how helpful they were, when i did not understand the task. Plus, I enjoy the whole idea of peer evaluation and how much it can help when it comes to completing an assessment task, definitely, something i can incorporate into my own classroom. Thanks to Odie, I was able to be evaluated and peer assessed about my end reslut. The end result saw me completeing the task and contributing Risk assesment, design matrix, curriclum links, needs analyse, decision charts, production plan, design specification and a mind map into my Wikipage.
