= HOW HAVE A STUDENTS IT NEEDS CHANGED ? = By :Elshaddai Phiri INVESTIGATION Identify the Problem

We have to create our own website of our choice related to the unit title HOW HAVE A STUDENTS IT NEEDS CHANGED ?
Expalin the Problem

I don't know how to make a website and i am not familiar with the process of making one
Research and Analysis

Design Brief We are going to describe a 5 page website that answers the Unit question-How have a students IT needs changed Product Specification My product must:
 * 1) Design a 5 page website. Before you start designing make sure you run it by the teacher first.
 * 2) 1 page must be about how students today are using different types of storage devices
 * 3) 1 page must be about online storage
 * 4) 1 page must be about how mouses have changed
 * 5) 1 page must be about how keyboards have and will change
 * 6) 1 page must be about how output devices have changed
 * 7) 1 page can be on whatever you want but it must related to the unit question
 * 8) Show how the web page will look. change around the navigational bar, the location of your picture, add more pictures to each page, move the information around to show different designs. Remember two designs are better than one. Three designs are better two. Make sure you think about navigation and the content of each page in your design. For content a heading will be enough. Remember to look at the design criteria in order to get maximum marks.

Test Plan 1.For my test plan after i have completed my designs i will:

2.Ask a friend if they think the number of pictures on my page are enough

3.If the writing matches the background color

4.If they think i have added enough information about each storage device

5.If they like the format of my page

6.If i have made any grammar or spelling mistakes

7.If it is simple to understand

8.If there are links and if they work

9.If the information is reliable

10.If the content of the page is fine

11.If the font of the info information matches with the background

12.If the placing of the information is fine

13.If the data is right

Analysis of my designs

DESIGN ONE
The page has two large pictures on it which i think is enough.It also has a table of contents which links you to the other webpages with information on them.Below the page there are boxes with a page number in them which take you to a page of your choice and can also take you back to your previous page.I think the format of the page is okay and the information is reliable.
 * the placing of information is fine
 * it has enough pictures on it
 * the format of the page is good
 * it has links and hyperlinks
 * the information might just be enough for the storage device

DESIGN TWO
On this page the webpage is in bold.It has a table of contents which can help the viewer go to the page of their choice.The number of pictures are enough and also the amount of information and it also has links and hyperlinks that take you to any page in the website of your choice.The information is reliable.
 * reliable information
 * enough pictures and data/information
 * hyperlinks and links
 * page format is not bad
 * information format is good

DESIGN THREE
This page shows all the pages i will do if i choose this design.All of the pages have links and hyperlinks to each page.All of the pages have reliable information,enough information and enough pictures.Some pages have only one picture but the amount of the information matches the amount of pictures
 * all have links and hyperlinks to each other
 * reliable information
 * enough pictures and information
 * name of website will be in bold letters

Justification for chosen design design three

I choose this design because i like the format of the pages.I think it is really good though i might have to make some slight changes to the way each page is presented and add color to it in the background.

CREATE Final Product

Changes made to the original Design I changed the placing of some stuff from the original design because it didn't really go well with the original format.I also changed the format of some pictures and added a table of contents which wasn't part of my original design and also where i placed my information. Changes made to the original Plan I couldn't follow the plan because i didn't plan it accurately to what i would really do and when i would do it. Also because we missed a lot of IT lessons so i could not really do much work or follow up to date with the deadlines. EVALUATE Results of tests My results according to the test plan:


 * The font color matches the background color
 * I did have some grammar mistakes though
 * The hyperlinks worked really well
 * The information was straight to the point so it was really simple to understand
 * The data was correct and up to date.
 * Some placing of information wasn't good but others were
 * The table of contents functioned properly
 * Ask a friend if they think the number of pictures on my page are enough

If the writing matches the background color Yes If they think i have added enough information about each storage device Somehow If they like the format of my page Yes If i have made any grammar or spelling mistakes A few If it is simple to understand Yes If there are links and if they work Yes

Recommendations for improvement Ways i could improve in the future is by:
 * meeting deadlines instead of missing them
 * making better test plans
 * using the design cycle more efficiently
 * making my work according to the rubric to get higher and better marks
 * following my plan efficiently
 * improving my designs

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle Way i followed the design cycle was by finding out the meaning of words i didn't know and getting information from numerous different sites. I think the design cycle is a good way to structure and make a product or a website on a computer or even without a computer because it breaks the procedure the procedure into bits which make it easier for you to make a product. It also keeps you organized which makes making the product easier and simple for anyone to function.
