Technology Final Exam Study Guide
3^rd Quarter 2009-2010

This quarter we have explored how technology is created through the design process.  The design process is a process that uses problem solving to arrive at the best solution.  When you use the design process to solve problems, you identify or select the need, desire or problem, you may gather information you need, you develop possible solutions, you select what you think is the best solution, you try it out, you evaluation the solution, make adjustments as needed, and finally you communicate the solution.

In an essay of at least three pages, tell how you used the design process to develop an idea for a project you have done in this class (such as designing and constructing a paper tower or manila folder platform) and brought it to completion.  In your essay, tell how each of the steps in the design process played a role in successfully completing your project.  Be specific.

You are telling the story of your experience imagining, creating and sharing.

You may include sketches along with your writing to illustrate certain points you make.  Be specific.

You can handwrite it on paper (three pages), or in Microsoft Word (size 12 font, one page, single spaced, double-spaced between paragraphs).  Then post to blog.
