New Idea

My new idea will be on the topic of Natural Diasters in the geogrpahy cirriculum.

It will contain 3 sub-topics including Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis.
The user will be taught how each forms, effects of each disaster and other key information provided by the national cirriculum. Information will be provided through the form of videos, animations, text and images.
I will still base the success of my product on the same criteria stated in my functional specification.

I am now in the process of planning through using Gannt charts and writing my risk analysis.

First Meeting With Client

I have chosen my client as geogrpahy teacher Mr Young as he teaches geography to many students at Heathside and thus will know what to look for within a product such as mine. During the meeting I discussed the project proposal with him and how I wasn't completely happy with the project theme. He agreed and commented that it would be more beneficial for younger students to use a program such as the one I will be making. With a younger target audience in mind (Years 7 - 8, ages 11-12) we went through the topics of the current cirriculum that they are learning. I decided that the Natural Disasters topic sounded interesting and would be a fun idea to create into an interactive flash product. I now need to change my proposal to suit my new idea of Natural Disasters. I will write more on what the idea will contain in the next post as I need to do some researching first.
