Classroom Library Catalog App
By karalea on August 3, 2014
This assignment challenged me in so many ways. When I first read the curriculum for this class and the content I was inclined to drop it, simply because the platform was new and it was business based. I teach grade 2/3 and haven’t a marketing or business bone in my body! I stayed with this […]
Week 9 – Review
By karalea on July 15, 2014
Great job Week 9! I have to say that your platform really grabbed me. Perhaps it was because I have never used Edmundo before, but I was really enthralled and excited to do your weekly activities.

Hello!
By karalea on May 16, 2014
Hello All! My name is Karalea (Kara-lee) Hoyano and I am in my 5th and 6th class in the MET program (I am also taking ETEC 540 this term). So far I have really enjoyed the program and the challenges it presents. a new one for me being this platform. I am a bit overwhelmed […]

Great job Chad! You are convincing and easy to listen to! I like how your introduce yourself but get right to the point! You may have provided more information in your elevator pitch than needed as the ending didn't leave me feeling like I needed more info. It did however grab my interest as I think that is a great concept and idea. Your Venture Pitch is simple, yet detailed. I think you could have picked a different clip art as the elephant didn't seem like the right fit but that is such a small suggestion. I like your layout and spacing of your writing as it doesn't seem too content heavy or overwhelming to read. Overall, I like your product and would invest as I think it is a valuable tool for teachers and students/parents a like!

Great pitch, great product, great ideas/additions. Your use of PowToon is fantastic and your visuals are appealing and your voice over perfectly matches the slides. Your voice is convincing and your product sounds useful. Your document is content rich and shows your hard work. I would have loved to seen it presented with a different medium as it is hard to hear your enthusiasm and belief in the product through a document. A Prezi or slideshow would have added so much more to your content, as it is clear you invested a lot of time and research. I like your opening picture representing Trello, very creative! Well done!

I like the enthusiasm in your voice right from the get go. You are easy to listen to and your talking is clear and emotional! I wanted to listen to your Venture Pitch after as your Elevator Pitch gave a taste of the product but didn't answer all questions. Your Venture Pitch had great pictures and visuals. I found that by having the same sentence and pictures in the opening scenes of both your pitches made your Venture Pitch less grabbing to start with, but as I continued to watch, the better it got. I like that you will have French and English to start, as it also leaves many unopened doors for other languages to be added. I think you could have added some more statistics to show numbers of struggling readers etc. I think this is a great idea and has a lot of potential.

Great Elevator pitch. I feel you could go without the background music in the beginning, but love your voice over. You message at the end is inspiring and you sell it very well. You can see in your face and hear in your voice that you want to empower India and your heart believes in this product, so as for an Elevator pitch, you did a great job. Your opening pictures could be more engaging but your ending makes up for it! Your Venture Pitch I like your opening, I think you relay that there is a need for change with English classwork and express why. Your PowToon is cut off for many slides, so it is hard to read. I think you could have added more content to your slides to make them more appealing but overall enjoyed your presentation. I am still a bit unclear as to how your product will work and could use more data and information on it but did enjoy the concept.

Interesting Colleen! I have to say as soon as your Elevator pitch started, my toes started tapping and I was watching. Great choice of background music to grab my attention. Some slides went a bit quickly but overall your product grabbed my attention, as you gave enough information to make me want more but not totally enough to understand completely what exactly your product does and how it works. I immediately wanted to click on your site, so well done on making your Elevator Pitch catchy! As for your website, it is very content heavy which at times seemed daunting to read through, a voice over or something might have been better. I would suggest your change your opening picture, as it makes your product seem religious based and that can turn many people off. I now read that others also made this suggestion, it just seems to narrow your market. Otherwise, I think you have a very creative and unique product and feel you did a great job collecting data and relaying your purpose!

Hi Riea. I like the PowToon app as it is always visually appealing and colourful. Your slides moved a bit quickly for me to read all of the content and process it and I found the background music to be too slow and relaxed. I would suggest a more catchy tune to really grabbed viewers. I found your slides to be well laid out and had good flow. As for your Venture Pitch, you clearly put a lot of effort into this assignment and researched to ensure you had all information. My suggestion would be to present all your findings in a better way. The PDF was long and it would have been nice to have some voice over or even just transferred that data into a slideshow or Prezi. I just found the presentation made the content a bit flat for me. As for your actual product, I think you have a great business plan and idea and I also feel like you did a good job with what information to chose to include. I also found this assignment to be challenging and frustrating at times. You've done a excellent job though :)

What a well put together website. It is very apparent that you spent a decent amount of time assembling this site as well as thought into what would be valuable. It is very professional looking and offers a variety of mediums which makes it appealing to look through and read. I found some sections to have a lot of writing, perhaps you could do some voice over for those long parts, but otherwise your data is concrete and convincing. I like the pictures added as it make the site feel more personal. Overall, I enjoyed exploring all the information that you very clearly researched. A job well done!

I like that your Elevator pitch is you live as it feels more personal and convincing. I like the short and to the point message you get across in your Elevator pitch, it was easy to watch. Your Venture pitch is equally as inciting. I enjoyed your pictures and graphics. They were colourful and also showed the message or data you were trying to relay. Like mentioned some of the slides are hard to read but the voice over helps get your ideas across. I also enjoyed the product and how you present it. I agree that there is a big market for this product. Well done!

Wow! Great job on your A3! I really enjoyed watching both of your pitches! Your Elevator Pitch grabbed me right away, I really enjoyed your jungle reference as well as your voice over! You show emotion and are very convincing to listen to. Your Elevator pitch was a bit long but I understand you had a good amount of information to express in a short amount of time. As for your Venture Pitch, also a job well done. I like the pictures and graphics, I also enjoyed that you used some real photos as well as clip art. Your product sounds useful and practical. I think you sell it well. Good job!

I like your use of PowToon! Your Elevator pitch is short and sweet and to the point. I like the voice over as I felt that you did a good job showing emotion through your voice. I like the visuals and attractiveness of PowToon! Your Venture pitch was equally as enjoyable. I felt your pitch was engaging and selling. You gave adequate information and examples about your product. My only suggestion would be that the background music drowns out your voice over. You could do without the extra music in my opinion. Otherwise a job well done! :)
