**Welcome to Tech Fair Wiki 2013!** == **Unit Question: How can we use Technology to help develop our ideas to create a masterpiece for the ‘Tech Fair’?**  ==

You either work individually or in pairs (will depend on Task 1)
 * Instructions to Students: **


 * Create a page on your Wiki that says **‘TECH FAIR 2013’ (Even if you are working in pairs you need to have a page created individually) **
 * Research a project you need to do. You could use search engines, YouTube or other useful sites.
 * Note down the resource sites (i.e. Acknowledge resources)

Your __Technology Creation __ should show:
 * **Originality**—have you been creative and imaginative in your investigate and create section?
 * **Clarity**—have you presented your initial ideas clearly?
 * **Documentation**—Have you documented your investigate, design and plan process? Is there evidence of this?
 * **Appropriateness**—is the technology/software used appropriately matched?
 * **Design**—does the overall design process support the project purpose?

You will also be required to:
 * 1) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Demonstrate an understanding of the software as it relates to your project.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Explain the various aspects of the creation of your project.
 * 3) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Defend your choice of software for the project.
 * 4) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Answer questions about your project.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The project is based on the following criteria.

 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">‘Investigation is an essential stage in the design cycle. Students are expected to identify the problem, develop a design brief and formulate a design specification. Students are expected to acknowledge the sources of information and document these appropriately.’ **
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> As part of this Investigate task you should create a new page on your wiki(as directed in class). Name it ‘TECH FAIR 2013’ **
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> On this page you will include the following **


 * Headings: **

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14pt;">**Investigate:** Upload your PowerPoint presentation with your ideas here.

**Slide 2:**

 * <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My First idea – what you would like to investigate further (this should be in detail and should include the advantages and disadvantages of each idea you would like to investigate further. A list of hardware, software and other material you would need to use to develop both your ideas. **

**Slide 3:**

 * <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My Second idea - Again what you would like to investigate further (descriptions similar to the first idea) **


 * Slide 4:**

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Write your reflections for Idea 2

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">

 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">‘Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification. **
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.’ **
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">As part of this Design task you should create a rough outline/sketch of what you intend to create. **
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">(This should be your vision of what your end creation should look like) you should scan this in to your presentation you made earlier as part of your investigate section. **
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Remember to add a new slide and give it the title Design. You must also remember to annotate your drawing. ** ||
