Getting Festive in IT

WE are making a game through scratch in which you have to get the bag to collect the items!

Screen shots below

Testing my own Scratch and asking Zahra to also evaluate it.

Testing my own Scratch and asking Zahra to also evaluate it.

Test 1:  The program must have clear instructions for the user

i do not have  clear instructions however i have an error with my costumes. whenever i click the costumes to answer it does not work.

Hadeya's quiz does not have any clear instructions at the beginning. It just goes to the first question straight away. I think she should use the SAY code to explain the rules of the game. Instructions are important because it tells the reader what to do otherwise the user will not know how to play the game.
TEST 2: THE PROGRAM MUST BE ERROR FREE.
I need to add the code that changes the questions and allows the user to choose one of the answers from the options.

Hadeya has only included the first question. You cannot chose the right answer because it has no code to tell it when to click. I think she can add more questions and go through the work step by step. 

TEST 3: THE PROGRAM MUST HAVE MEANINGFUL VARIABLES

Test 4: The program must be documented well in the blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.

Test 5: The quiz has to be generated in question number order.

I have not done that because I do not have more than 1 question and I have not made the code for the questions yet. so i cant really have an order .

TESTING OUR SCRATCHES

Here is the check list / testing plan

I will test my quiz to make sure it works while I create it. I will also test it after I have finished coding to make sure it works fully as planned. I shall do the testing myself but I shall also ask Zahra 

to test certain parts of it. I shall be a test buddy for Zahra.

Here are the tests:-

Test 1:  The program must have clear instructions for the user.

Test 2: The program must be error-free

Test 3: The program must have meaningful variables.

Test 4: The program must be documented well in the blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.

Test 5: The quiz has to be generated in question number order.

Test 6: The progr

TESTING STRATEGY & PLANam has to keep a score of all the correctly answered questions.

Test 7:The quiz should have a fail screen

Test 8:the costumes must be named appropriately

Test 9:The question should make sense 

Test 10:Is the background suitable for the quiz 

TESTING

Add screenshots to each of the test items above as evidence that you have tested them. For each test, explain the various states of the program (e.g. show what happens when the score increases).

EVALUATE

In your blog, evaluate how well your quiz works. What are its strengths? How could you improve it further if you had more time?

!BROADCASTING THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, THE QUIZ IS ALMOST READY!!!!!!!!!!

I am using the broadcast so my scratch can actually say the question. I will then repeat the same thing but write the number of the next question. this is also know as a loop. i have also used an if statement so if something happens than something else should happen. In this case  for my scratch , if the player gets 3 answers wrong than the player will be taken to the fail screen.

STEP 1. MAKING THE COSTUMES,SPRITES AND BACKGROUND

(sorry for the weird thing on the left cant get rid of it !) 

Getting on with our quiz!!!

Now we are experimenting in class

My plan for scratch

We got started with our project . Check out the images below

I have decided to have a plain simple black screen with a neon coloured title, 3 different coloured backgrounds to make my quiz nice, eye catchy and attractive. 

SCRATCH

Which is more Efficient ????

 

I think that the second code was more efficient because it is quicker and you do not need to press the duplicate button for each second.Also it is  the computer will  read the code so  faster so you will get the message quicker. But it still does the same thing so i prefer sticking to the easier and quicker method / option.

1. Passwords Remember to always keep your online account id and password private, except from your parent or guardian. Don’t share it with friends – even your best friend. Change your password if you think someone else knows it.

2. Personal Information Never give out personal information online – like your phone number; parent’s work number; address; social insurance/social security number; name or location of your school or your password. If you think it is necessary to give some information - check with your parents first.

3. Be careful what you post. -Think about what you write in chat rooms, emails and instant messages. Nothing online is completely private. If you send personal information, provocative photos or intimate details to your friends, remember that even friends can use this against you or cause problems later on. What if your current friend becomes an ex-friend down the road?

4. Online Only -Never agree to meet an ‘online’ friend in person. This person might not be who you think they are and wish you harm. Even if they say they are a kid, seem nice or friendly, there are bad adults that pose as kids. Knowing that, if you feel there is absolutely someone you must meet and your parents agree, make sure they go with you and make the meeting in a public place.

5. Photos Don’t share photos of yourself with anyone you don’t know. Don’t share provocative photos of yourself or friends – once they are ‘out there’ you cannot control who sees them. If someone makes you uncomfortable by asking for photos or asking you what you look like or personal questions, tell your parents, the police or contact CyberTipline.com.

6. Bullying Tell your parents if you feel uncomfortable or bullied by anyone on-line. Remember – you don’t have to respond to any messages that are mean or make you feel uncomfortable. Report anything you think is inappropriate or disturbing. Don’t do anything yourself that hurts others or is against the law.

7. Protect your computer Check with your parents before downloading or installing software. Do not open attachments from emails you don’t recognize – even if they are addressed to you personally. You could let in a virus, damage the computer or put your family’s privacy at risk.

8. Using a Cell Phone Cell phones can be great for safety since they let you keep in touch with your parents or call 911 if there is an emergency. However, you should follow all the same safety tips with your cell phone as you do with your computer. Be careful who you give your number to. Be aware that GPS and other technologies can pinpoint your physical location, and don’t give out personal information or your location to anyone you don’t know well.

9. Surfing Visit areas on the web that are appropriate when you are surfing online. Visiting inappropriate areas can put you at risk and lead to trouble. Use your computer responsibly and know that your usage can be tracked.

10. Exit Remember – you can log off at any time! Decide how long you should spend on your computer each day and log off when the time is up. There is a whole world out there and you can’t be fit and healthy if you sit in front of your computer all day. Go have fun with your friends in person

Staying safe online

Staying safe online 

1)      Don’t post any personal information online – like your address, email address or mobile number.

2)      Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself.  Once you’ve put  a picture of yourself online most people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not just yours anymore.

3)      Keep your privacy settings as high as possible

4)      Never give out your passwords

5)      Don’t befriend people you don’t know

6)      Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online.  Speak to your parent or carer about people suggesting you do

7)      Remember that not everyone online is who they say they are

8)      Think carefully about what you say before you post something online

9)      Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with someone else’s views doesn’t mean you need to be rude

10)   If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe or worried: leave the website, turn off your computer if you want to and tell a trusted adult immediately.
