REFLECTION INVESTIGATION

The grade i would give myself would be a 1-2 because i have all the information, but i have not post it on my blog. Even though i have it my information it is not that detail as others. I want to go back again and add more details. Once I have fixed and add more information to it i will post it again.  I didn't like the fact that i didn't apply my self into my investigation as i would've liked to.

Simplicty 



Go animate- I want to use this one because I saw some sample videos and I like the way the it look. I also wanted this one cause when you see a video you dont forget what you saw on the video.  It would also be a fun way of learning the design cycle.
