**Introduction:**
The Evaluate stage of our project is when we we reflect on our entire project and how we did it. During the Evaluate part we wrote a long reflection.

**ESLR reflection:**
During this part of the technology cycle I was an Effective Communicator and a Self-directed learner when writing my reflection.I was a Self-directed Learner because I planed my time wisely and I worked fast without wasting time. I was also an Effective Communicator -- I told everyone about the project and how I felt about making he e-card and working in IT8.

**Reflection:**
The most important thing I learned during IT8 for my Flash animation was how to use tweens. I used my tweens at least every two seconds. There are four tweens that I needed to learn. These were, the shape, color, motion, and rotate tween. The one I use the most was the motion tween because all my things were moving all the time. I use the other three tweens less and only used them once. This was very important because this was one of the basic things I needed to use in my flash animation. It is as important and walking for a person but for Flash you need to know how to use tweens. These tweens helped me all the time. I had to learn these at least two times to get it stuck into my head so I did not have to look at my tutorial worksheets all the time going through step by step. During the investigate part of the technology cycle I was a Self-directed Learner and a Critical Thinker when doing this. I was a Self-directed Learner when I practiced inserting my tweens so they would always work and I was a Critical Thinker when I tried to find out how to remember how to insert a tween correctly.

I learnt the most during the Investigate part of the technology design cycle because this is when I first used Flash. I did a lot of tutorial worksheets about Flash. We did worksheets on tweens, exporting, making layers, shapes, ect. I also saw other e-cards [|here]. We had to see what were the good parts and the bad parts of the e-cards were. We tried to see if our e-cards could match up to the ones we saw. My classmates and I were inspired by the e-cards we saw on the previous [|website] and we made our rubric using what we though was the good part of e-cards a this also made us try to compare our e-cards to theirs. I was an Self-directed Learner then because I pushed myself to work harder and make my e-card as good as the ones on the website.

I fell that I achieved all the ESLRs when doing this project. I was an Involved Citizen when I Helped my class mates with problems they faced when doing making their e-cards. One time I helped Aron to insert music into his Flash because I was the first person who knew how to insert music into a flash animation. I was an Effective Communicator when I ask my peers how to do things. I did this when I ask my friends if my tweens were not working or if I didn’t know how to do something or writing my reflections. I was a Critical thinker when I was doing my tutorial worksheets because I had to think about how I would remember everything I was learning. I was a Self-directed Learner when I made my e-card because I used my time wisely and was able to include extra things into my e-card. Finally, I was an Academic Achiever through out the entire project because I tried my hardest. I felt I achieved all the ESLRs throughout the Project.
