DTE Reflection II DTE

The end of the week is coming meaning the end of a term, which means goodbye term two and welcome term three.
I've had DTE for two terms now One and Two, I had fun in DTE, doing work with the boys that I knew from primary.

For the couple of week of DTE term one, we learned coding and Morse code and how they worked, learning code we went to a site called code.org where we played around with all the games on it trying out all the codes and making small mini-games. After that, we made ourselves sites, which was a fun experience and would help in the future if I ever needed to make one, then we made info graphs about sitting positions and the effects it gives us good and bad and how they affect us.

And then later on with everything we've learned we were sent to make ourselves a game, we had two choices, using Gamefroot a site where you can make small games. and the second choice is doing a year 11 assignment, I choose the NCEA level 1 assignment. The Assignment was to use Scarcth a site where drawing and animation are involved. For the assignment, we were given specific instructions that we had to follow if each one wasn't followed correctly credits wouldn't be given

Sadly I never got to finish it because of Lockdown.

Then later Term two came around, the term that's about to come to an end, Term Two was all about teamwork, during lockdown we did class calls. During those calls, we were put into groups for this term's work. I had joined a group of 3 boys that I knew from Primary and High school (Now), Also I never joined any girls cause there's pretty much only 3 girls there... but their rarely there so I just joined the group with the boys that I knew. I'm happy with my choice though because I had a fun experience with them, even if some days they were a bit chaotic, I guess it made my day in the end anyway.

Term two's work was a challenge where we had to make an app that could help others, the app could be anything. and it didn't even have to be finished. Because we weren't being marked on the app we were being marked on teamwork.
I feel that we did fairly well in teamwork, there were some days where a certain person wasn't doing anything, but the teamwork was overall really good, we did a research slide and that turned out to be really successful, so at the least to say I'm proud of my group.


I were confused about a few things mostly term one because I had everything under control when it hit term two, what confused me about Term one, was the making of the game part of term one, I didn't pick scratch first because I was a bit nervous about doing it. So I picked Gamefroot, but it confused me to no ends because the codes and coding were all over the place so you could never tell what you were actually coding.

But apart from that

I fairly enjoyed DTE, mostly term two though as I got to work with people that I knew.
What could change?
I honestly don't know what could change I'm not much of a person who really asks for changes, but if I could pick a change I'd suggest more group works where everyone can interact as I find it really easy to progress through things when I'm working with others I know.

(Research I was talking about that involved Term Two)
