    EVIDENCE OF LEARNING |
| Throughout the day, our group had moments where we struggled but also had moments of success. At the beginning of class today, we realized that we were not thinking about our project correctly. We then decided to create a new question, asking how we will enhance the student teacher bond already developed and ensure more success in the classroom. It was difficult for us at first to let go of our previous ideas, until we incorporated certain aspects of our old project into the new. It was extremely difficult for us to think of new ideas. We tried moving to the hall and going for walks, but we didn't make a whole lot of progress. We acknowledged that we hit the bottom of the U, but we weren't sure in what direction to go into. We were given advice to work on the glove idea. The glove idea, is a game where students and teachers work together in hopes of getting the most points. Points are distributed when a teacher and student high five each other. In our new project we changed the glove into a ring. Instead of high fives, students and teachers will knuckle bump. And to eliminate students cheating, the student and teacher rings will have different poles of a magnet inside them, allowing only students and teachers to gain points with the help of each other. Points will tallied, and the top student/ teacher duo's would win a small prize. This product gives the students and their teachers a chance to bond more. Similar to the game, gotcha, but instead the main focus is on creating relationships. Our group went through lots of diversity and challenges today, but we were able to redesign our question and product. |
This is a very good blog entry, Nathan! The new design of our project is very interesting and we are excited to explore it more. The teachers feedback helped up significantly when as Nathan stated we were in the, "bottom of the U." The only concern that I have is how we are going to make these or a prototype. However, there are many possible solutions.
ReplyDeleteToday we had some pretty significant revelations and changes. At the beginning of the class we realized that we would have to change our guiding question and in turn our ideas and thinking. There were definitely some points, as Nathan pointed out, where we were "at the bottom of the U" but I thought that through proper collaboration we were able to present a fairly feasible, desirable, and viable pitch. Again, good work today. Much needs to be done. Play games, watch a video, research ect.... we all need to work outside of the class. See you all tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteour entire thinking regarding our project was flipped upside down today, and i am glad to say that we were all able to collaborate and come up with ideas regardless of that situation. i do feel that we need much more work to be done and our ideas will still need a little refining. tomorrow is going to be an important workday for us and we will need to stay on topic as much as possible. luckily we have ideas as to what direction we are finally going to take our project in.
ReplyDeleteThis was a big day for us in terms of our breakthrough brought to us by Jackson. This was an important time for collaboration as it was a restart from square one. It was a difficult time creating our new product, and though the feasibility of creating of a prototype i feel we are headed in a good direction.
