INVESTIGATION REFLECTION

I GRADED MYSELF WITH A 3-4 BECAUSE I HAD DESCRIBED A PROBLEM IN WHICH I MENTIONED ITS RELEVANCE. SOON I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE MY PROBLEM WHERE I SELECTED AND STARTED ANALYZING INFORMATION FROM ACKNOWLEDGED SOUCES. THE SOURCES I HADUSED WERE MOSTLY FROM THE NOTES AND COMMEN KNOWLEDGE FROM MRS. HINOJOSA'S CLASS. I AM NOW STARTING TO GO BACK THROUGH MY INVESTIGATIONAKA MY PROJECT AND FILLING IN ALL THE LOOSE NUTS SO I CAN GET A BETTER GRADE.

SCORING

I decided I wanted to make a video for my design cycle project. In order for me to find a link to a good video making site I went to Mrs.Hinojosa's blog and clicked on the link Create  A Video Tools. Soon after that  I found  GoAnimate.  On GoAnimate I researched how to make a video on this website. What I liked about this one was there were more options on what to do with your video. Not only could you use animated characters, but this website allowed you to upload images and sounds for your video. There are positives and negatives for both sites. On GoAnimate there is more things to use and more ways for your imagination to wander although it takes alot of time and effort to understand and use GoAnimate.

          I decided to go with GoAnimate although it might take longer it might be a much better video or movie. Even though it will take up more of my time.
