I do not know how the ancients used numbers.
I don't know what makes a good PowerPoint presentation.

Research and Analysis

Design Brief To produce a power point based on the unit question

Product Specification My product must:

=
Using power point I am going to create a power point presentation on "How did the ancients use numbers"? ======

=
The presentation must include at least 6 slides, but no more than 10 ======

Slide 1 introduction
slide 2 Table of contents (with links to the correct page/slide)

Slide 5 Introduction of Zero to Europe
Slide 6 The first city in Italy to use the number Zero

Slide 7 expansion of maths
Slide 8 Second slide of my choice (problems with the roman number system)

Slide 9 concluding summary
Slide 10 "The End" slide
 * every slide has to follow the rules of PowerPoint
 * only key points on every slide
 * every slide with information must have presenter notes

· **Only 5 pictures are allowed on the whole presentation. **

· **The Same slide transition MUST be used between all slides **

Test Plan I will give them my power point rules and my product specifications and they will fill it out as i present. This file has the PowerPoint rules and the product specifications added on to it I am going to test my final product by using the design specifications. I will give a piece of paper with all of the design specifications on them and then lead them through my PowerPoint presentation. Once they are finished testing my powerpoint presentation i will test it my self. Then i will scan the pieces of paper. After that i will put them on a word document then upload it on the wiki. DESIGN  Pictures of my designs

Analysis of my designs all of this information is on the attachment/file above! Justification for chosen design all of this information is on the attachment/file above! PLAN Place your plan her

CREATE  Final Product Put your final product here (refer to the instruction as to the form you need to place your product in. picture link or file Changes made to the original Design  I have added a new picture to my PowerPoint. The reason for that is that the picture i found was much better and it was more attractive because it moves. I also added one other picture because i thought that it was necessary and also i didn't go over my picture limit. I also found that the presentation was a bit boring when the pictures did not move. So i decided and tried to make the pictures move in a way which makes it a bit funnier than before. I also found my self in a position where i finished my PowerPoint and i had nothing to do so i started to play around with the options and i actually did something really effective which was add music which played   across each slide. Once that i was finished with that then i was playing around with the transitions. I have also added in one more slide just  for a bit of more effect. That slide was the table of contents. The table of contents was for me necessary because it would tell the audience  what things i will be talking about. I also made links on the table of contents where each thing links to the correct page. Changes made to the original Plan  i actually thought when i was making my plan that it would take more time to make my final create. But actually it took very little amount of time to make the PowerPoint. So i found my self in a position  where i was very relaxed. So at one point i finished and all i was left to do was this. So after this i  went off to play around with my PowerPoint to make it better. By the time that i was finished with that  it was the end of the lesson. EVALUATE  Results of tests

Recommendations for improvement According to my friends and i also think this. I was told that i should have reference page. honestly i think i should have definitely put one because if i or someone else wanted to find out more about something then it would be much easier to go to the link i went to than trying   to find out all of the information again. Another thing that someone said i should do is change  the layout of some slides because there were some big white spots where nothing was covering   it up. Now honestly when that layout was used for slides with pictures it looked really good but  when there was nothing covering it i think it looked very awkward and other people in think would   think the same. And last but not least someone said that the music was not necessary. Honestly what  i think is that it is isn't necessary but it just makes my PowerPoint slide stand out differently from   everyone else .But honestly i could have chosen a better music track. But personally i also think that  i should have followed my design specifications a bit better. and my design specifications should have  been a tiny bit more challenging. Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle I think that i executed the design cycle very well. But i could have improved in quite a few parts like my planning stage. For my planning stage i definitely needed to work on it more and think about  it more in detail. But other wise i think i did fairly well in the Investigation stage,Design stage,  Creation stage and Evaluation stage. For me though i think that i did the design stage and the  creation stage the best because those are the two stages where i put most of my effort in. I'm  not saying that i didn't try on the other stages i'm just saying that i put most of my time into those   two stages. But honestly i think that i could have executed the whole design cycle a bit better  compared to the other units i have done. I have also been given a lot of time in class to make all  of our stage better.
