Reflection c:

  The problem in this investigation is to find a way to teach the design cyle to a sixth grader.  I knew this problem throughout the investigation, and I looked into it with a lot of detail. I compared two game websites thoroughly. I created an account on one of the websites to explore all the different functions and made sample games to see how the games were. I checked for simplicity, creativity, backgrounds, and quality. I made sure the websites were user friendly as well as how simple it would be to create a game. I checked the ratings on both websites and saw the amount of people subscribed. 

Design (:

REFLECT ON YOUR LEARNING

There are a lot of things you have to think about when designing something. You have to really think about all your different options and go with the one you think will do the best performance. You need to have an idea of what it is exactly that you want to do.
