Lesson Aim:
To work on the completion of A3.
To work on resubmission of A2T1, A2T2

Learning Outcomes:
Learners able to identify problem areas of A3.
Learners to set a SMART target related to current progress.
Learners to review aforementioned SMART target.

Learning Objectives:
Develop knowledge on using Blender to create 3D models.
Demonstrate what constitutes a good SMART target.
Resubmit A2T1, A2T2
Work on submission of A3


Today I completed all assignments and resubmissions that are due today and handed them in on time. I also made lots of progress completing 3D models for Unit 41. I am pleased with how much I managed to model on my bird table because it looks very precise and once I add a texture, it will look more lifelike. My SMART target for today was to complete the rest of my 3D models by the end of today. Unfortunately, I did not manage to reach that however I did complete lots of work on them.

My next piece of work is due on the 22nd of which are the 3D model assignments. I am coming into college on that day to make sure I am caught up on everything.

To explain some of the fundamental principles of HCI

Objectives:
Explain how HCI has impacted on society, economy and culture
Predict and describe a future development in HCI and state how it's impact on society, economy and culture
State how perception affects HCI


Today I learnt about why HCI design is important and what aspects effect the users experience of it. Another positive of today was that I completed A1T1 for Unit 23 and have now moved on to the distinction criteria of the task. I am very interested in this topic because I am enjoying learning about the history of VR (Virtual Reality).

My next piece of work that I have due is A2 A3 which is due tomorrow but I must complete the practical task in time to complete it.

To work on completion of A2T1, A2T2
To critically assess 3D models.

Learning Outcomes:
Learners able to identify problem areas of A3.
Learners to set a SMART target related to current progress.
Learners to review aforementioned SMART target.

Learning Objectives:
Develop knowledge on using Blender to create 3D models.
Demonstrate what constitutes a good SMART target.

Today I managed to complete my SMART target of creating at least two 3D models for my assignment and am very proud of the effort that I put into creating them. A weakness of today that I did not complete any resubmissions but I have just under a week to complete them. I also spent around 1 hour trying to fix a rendering issue that I had.

My next assignment is due on the 12th of December which is A2 A3 for Unit 13. I need to complete this ASAP.

Today I set myself two smart targets and managed to accomplish both of them which I am very proud of. I finished one out of the two peice of work that I have due in today so I have to make sure that I submit the other one tonight. We also had a tutor hour on human rights and if I were to introduce a human right myself then I would give the right to create rights yourself. A weakness of today is that I was 1 minute late to class.

The next piece of work that I have due is a Unit 20 resubmission tonight. After this, I have due on the 12th of December.

Aim: 
To understand the developments in HCI and how it has impacted on society, economy and culture

Objectives:
Understand and state what is meant by HCI
To be able to state briefly some developments in HCI
State at least one example of how HCI has impacted on society, economy and culture
Explain in detail how HCI has impacted on society, economy and culture

Today we were introduced to Unit 23 which is about Human Computer Interactions. This is the way that humans interact with computers. I learnt how it benefits the society, culture and economy in different ways. Unfortunately I am still behind on some work and introducing this unit has made me realise how far behind I am so I need to complete a lot of work from home this week.

The next two pieces of work that I have due are a Unit 20 resubmission and Unit 13 peice of work which are due tomorrow (5/12/2017).

Lesson Objectives:

Complete a questionnaire
Vote with your feet about your opinion
Discuss key ideas to do with growth mindset
Review the video about Growth Mindset
Work individually or in pairs to match words
Set yourself a new SMART target on your PDP


Today I completed my second practical for Unit 13 and I feel that this one took me less time than the first one, suggesting that my skills in troubleshooting and repair have improved. I knew that the power supply unit was dead because it was written in huge permanent marker pen on the back. The SMART target that I set myself for today was to complete a 3D model for Unit 41 but unfortunately I did not manage to complete it.

I have two assignments both due on Tuesday 5th of December which are U13 A3T1 and a resubmission for Unit 20.
