Hex can't evaluate the following groups due to lack of information presented in their blog:
GROUP NAME: Team EachIBePositive

GROUP NAME: Team Pepe the Explorer

Group Evaluation: Team Base10
GROUP NAME: Team Base10
BLOG SITE: http://teambase10.blogspot.com/
EVALUATION:
1. In the group's storyboards, they were able to include all the things under the scope of their objective. The games they presented tackles the basics of Math and Science lessons for grade 4 students. Also, it is very nice that they used some Filipino heroes as the characters of their game because this will help their application to be appreciated more by its Filipino children users. If the children are enjoying using this application, surely, its purpose (as stated in the group's objective) will be fulfilled.
2 - 3. As we have read from the group's blog, they are just starting with the application and they are now only 2 in group so basically, we can't still suggest any enhancements with regards to the application itself. But basing it from their well presented storyboard/plan for the application, we would suggest that they just reduce the number of games and condense the topics they want to include or just pick between Math 4 and Science 4. Also, it would be nice if they will use some of our not-so-well-known Filipino heroes and give a little background about them so that the children who will be using it will be made familiar to them. --it will contribute also if the heroes they will use are the ones who really lived and fought in the forests of the Philippines to anchor it with the theme: nature (i.e. Macario Sakay).

Group Evaluation: PAPIGURA
GROUP NAME: PAPIGURA
BLOG SITE: http://papigura-cwts.livejournal.com/
EVALUATION:
1. From what we have read, we believe that the group covered the scope that they want to achieve. There have been also some changes about their main character making it more related, rather more familiar to the Lubang Island school children.
2. We think that their courseware will be more helpful to the students especially when they include the video that they made, in their final project. The video really is educational and they should just make it longer and slower so that the students will appreciate it. Moreover, the students should learn a lot from the videos, not just about the Digestive System but also about morals or values when eating and etc.
3. We haven't seen the whole project actually, only the video that they made. But we think that their courseware should have more fun activities and interactive videos. Make the site more child-friendly.

Group Evaluation: Group Powhz
GROUP NAME: Group Powhz
BLOG SITE: http://cwtsm3grouppowhz.wordpress.com/
EVALUATION:
1. The group did cover the scope that they want to achieve. We believe that their game is great. We think the school kids will really appreciate it for it has some adventure in it. Though it only covers PMDAS, it still Math, and they're giving the kids a new way to enjoy learning Math.
2. For the suggestions or enhancements, the Hex group thinks that the font size that they will use should be bigger for the XO laptops are too small, maybe the kids will find it hard to read the equations and have some mistakes because of the small font. Aside from that, everything seems to be fine.
3. Based on their blog, the Hex group thinks that their project is a good one. But, they should again, make the font size larger, just right for the grade school kids to read it and enough for the size of the XO laptop.

Group Evaluation: Team Woof
GROUP NAME: Team Woof
BLOG SITE: http://teamwoof.wordpress.com/
EVALUATION:
1. Looking from their blog posts, it looks like they were able to include everything they said in their final plan. The courseware will tackle lessons in Science, specifically Marine Science, Earth Science and Astronomy. It seems that their courseware is almost finished.
2-3. We can't suggest anything about the courseware itself yet since there are no screenshots uploaded in the blog. But for the contents of the courseware, we think that they should reduce the amount of questions in the courseware. That's because the questions seem too many. And they should make the questions in such a way that the students can comprehend the questions easily.

Group Evaluation: KARE
GROUP NAME: KARE
BLOG SITE: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=133745953331034&v=wall&ref=ts
EVALUATION:
1. From their posts, we think that they were able to accomplish their objectives on their courseware. The topic that they included is about Mathematics, especially graphs. It's nice that the courseware is student-friendly they used Filipino language in their courseware. Judging from the screenshot they provided, the group successfully put nature as the theme of the courseware.
2-3. Reading the description, we can say that it's good that there is an option for the students to create their own graph. That way, the student can fully grasp the topic/Since their topic is about graphs, we think that they should also include in their courseware the importance of graphs in everyday live.
