Language Matters

Navigation bar OR Sidebar?  That is the question.  When conducting research, it is the responsibility of the researcher to be thorough.  It is then the responsibility of the researcher to use correct language and to be able to document their learning accurately.

The purpose for each of these is different. Therefore, it is important to use the correct terminology.

Year 11, now is the moment that we have been waiting for - putting it all together.

According to the IBO:
"Students are expected to document, with a series of photographs or a video and a dated record, the process of making their product/solution, including when and how they use tools, materials and techniques.  Students are expected to follow their plan, to evaluate the plan and to justify any changes they make to the plan while they are creating the product/solution."  This means that you must have a process journal and that it is a necessary component of this criterion.

To get a 5/6:
The student competently uses appropriate techniques and equipment.
The student follows the plan and justifies any modifications made, resulting in an e-portfolio of appropriate quality using the resources available.
The student submits an appropriate process journal.

IB Learner Profile: Knowledgeable

Learning Objective:  The student will: use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently; ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others; follow the plan to produce the product/soltuion; evaluate the plan and justify any changes to the plan (when necessary); and create a product/solution of appropriate quality.

Year 11, how are you going to accomplish your goal?  Let's move on to the Plan - Criterion C.

Year 11, that's right - it all starts with a PLAN - Criterion C

According to MYP Technology, "Students are expected to construct a plan to create their chosen product/solution that has a series of logical steps, and that makes effective use of resources and time.

Students are expected to evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design."

To get a 5/6: The student produces a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describe the use of resources and time. The student critically evaluates the plan and justifies any modifications to the design.

Remember to get full marks you must make good use of Project Management Tools and Language.

Plan is due May 20 (8:30am).

IB Learner Profile: Knowledgeable

Learning objectives:
1. construct a plan to create the product/solution that has a series of logical steps
2. construct a plan to create the product/solution that makes effective use of resources and time
3. evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design

Navigational views flowchart

Before creating a website, designers usually develop a Website Navigation Structure.

Detailed planning makes creation easier. Check out this article for more information on this topic: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-develop-a-navigation-structure.html

Next is the DESIGN (Criterion B) stage if the Design Cycle.

Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.


To get a 5/6: The student generates a range of feasible designs, each evaluated against the design specification.  The student justifies the chosen design and evaluates it fully and critically against the design specification.


IB Learner Profile: Knowledgable

Learning Objective - The student will: generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification; evaluate the designs against the specifications; select one design and justify its choice.
