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.

EVALUATION:
1. According to their posts, the group's topics include fractions in Mathematics, Preposition in English and Life Cycle of Animals in Science. Since there's no information about the prototype they're doing (there's no information what their prototype looks like), it's hard to tell if they were able to include their goal in the courseware.
2-3. The group did not include screenshots about their courseware/app, and so we don't have any comments about their courseware, but we have suggestions. They should make their courseware easy for the students to run. Also, they should make it interactive and fun. That way, the students will learn a lot in English, Math and Science, and find learning these subjects enjoyable.

EVALUATION:
1. There are no clear objectives presented in the group's blog. But then if basing on the class' objective, the group's plan and storyboard cover topics in grade 4 and 5 Science and they are to present it in a very interesting application/game.
2-3. We think that it is nice to use the concept of making a humanoid monster as the aim of their game since they are to tackle about the systems of the human body. We suggest to make the "graphics" part of the game child-friendly (draw the body parts in a way that it won't scare the children who will be using it). Also, it would be nice if the game would allow the user to store his/her humanoid monster -- it will become his/her collection. As of now, that's the only comment we can make since no further information about the progress of the application was placed in the blog.

Accomplishments of Hex
It's been a while since our last blog entry. We planned to finish the courseware last semestral break but then, due to some circumstances, we weren't able to do so. Also, we only met up again last Monday, November 22, 2010 during our CWTS class that's why we just started working on this project again.
As of now, the courseware already contains the following:
-trivia per "clickables"
-a specific lesson for each part of the house
The ones that we still need to add are as follows:
-quiz after every lesson presented -- Arisa, Anna, Jasper
-information about the courseware and supporting papers-- Arisa
-general instructions for the user/s -- Anna
-teacher's manual -- Jasper
The project is just a simple courseware since it's only aim is to provide a better way of presenting some grade 4 science lessons. It doesn't have any kind of games in it. But then, if time permits, we will add some interactive game/s or apps to enhance the learning experience of its future users.
The deadline for the working courseware is on December 13, 2010.

Garden (clickable - Pot) : Sexual and Asexual Reproduction in Plants
Bathroom (clickable - Water Heater) : Energy - Types and Forms
Kitchen (clickable - Vegetables) : Digestive System
Bedroom (clickable - Picture Frame) : Skeletal System and Muscular System
Dining Room (clickable - Salad) : Mixture
In every lecture, there will be a ten-item quiz at the end of the chapter.

Sponsors and Revised Papers
September 6, 2010
At 10am today (Sept. 6), our CWTS class met up to report about the progress of our project to Ma'am Moscatel. She said that we're doing good but she emphasized the importance of always updating our blog. The revised supporting papers are due this Sept. 10 (Friday) and the next meeting is scheduled on Sept. 20. She said that she'll just update us about the final presentation of our project.
Meanwhile, regarding the sponsor/s for the project, the group is still waiting for the response of Smart Communications Inc. And within this week, they will still look for other company/ies to serve as their sponsor for this project.

Prototype and Paper
The hex group had a meeting last August 31, 2010. The group members have divided the task for each.
Arisa Ochavez is tasked to be the encoder of the group. Anna Castaneda will be responsible for cropping the pictures needed. And lastly, Jasper Martija is tasked to type the information needed for the courseware.
The group decided to just make a full courseware, without games. We will do the second version of the paper.
All will be due on September 13, 2010.
