SELF- EVALUATION

Storage Device Manual - Cover

Reflection:

I have officially chosen the front page cover for my booklet which would be the picture placed above, and honestly I’m proud even though it’s not the most complicated and colorful cover out there but I must say that if someone did a cover like this, i would be very attracted to it since it shows happiness, I like how simple it is and how the fonts and are all bubbly and big placed in a big cloud emphasizing that my topic includes some kind of technology. I could really improve more on color since the only color I used were different shades of blue and an outline of black.

Reflection:
Doing this task, was not a big challenge as all I had to do was, draw, annotate and color. However I know that when I do this on desktop and publisher, the colors, fonts etc. will change to make it more attractive and eye-catching as i am not that impressed with my colors and design. I look forward to actually creating the real booklet design on Publisher based with the designs i have drawn. I honestly  don't know if i will change much, but if i do  i'll probably make it more attractive and be more pleased with my design or sketches.
To improve- i think that i should work more on time management as i was absent and didn't know what i had to do before Ms. Veena uploaded it on managebac so i was temporarily confused on the task, making me put the sketches later than the due date. Hopefully i'll improve on this next time.

Fairness and Development

Democracy, politics, government and civil society • inequality, difference and inclusion • human capability and development; social entrepreneurs • rights, law, civic responsibility and the public sphere • justice, peace and conflict management • power and privilege • authority, security and freedom • imagining a hopeful future.

Fairness is the equality of being able to make judgment free of discrimination and development is the act of progress and growth. These two are related as as there can be no fairness without developing quality first. For example, as kids we were taught to be fair to one and another, but to gain this quality we were reminded by teachers, parents, adults and so on.

 This affects us as in many schools, there has been a major problem currently, bullying. It is a very serious matter that many schools don’t seem to do to stop it and at least 3.2 million students have been a victim of some form of bullying.

Fairness technically and mostly affects the human behavior, but in the sources understanding around the world of nature and development of people’s fairness preferences are limited. It only captures situations where there is broad agreement that fairness requires equality, people often disagree on what is fair because they disagree on whether individual achievements and luck of what maximizes a lot of benefits on how can we justify inequalities. Studies have found out that as children enter adolescence, they increasingly view inequalities reflecting differences in individual achievements, but not luck, rather as fairness, whereas efficiency considerations mainly play a role in late adolescence.

Information literacy:

During this topic I will be using the skill of researching to find out more about storage devices for my booklet and will be making it for grade 7 during this term. The main website or research engine which I will be using will be Google or if needed Firefox so I can go to different websites according to what I search about. Websites I will try to exclude or ignore are Wikipedia, yahoo answers as they are not the best websites as it’s not trustworthy since we don’t know for a fact that the information on there is. As this is for the year 7’s I’m going to write using simple words and/or bullet points so the information could be easier to understand and not hard to read and question complicated words.

Communication 
A tactic I will be using to attract the year 7’s to my work is colorful and bright colors such as yellow, red, green and so on, and make the display with affects such as glow or borders etc.+ using  pictures (but not too much as we still need information.) As I’ve said before I will be suing simple words and bullet points to prevent the year 7’s to question complicated words and bore them. My font will be bold, colorful and big with bright colors but simple and clear such as bubble writing or something with interesting enough to drag the year 7’s to my work.
