The Design Challenge
Design a Project for a teacher at your school that meets the following design principles:
- The design must meet a need for the teacher.
- The design must use collaboration between teacher, student, and library.
- The design must use OER (as is and remixed).
- The design be multidisciplinary.
Outcomes: Support student creativity and meet the learning standards of the school.
Materials:
easel pad, markers, post-its, salvaged materials from RAFT for prototyping, camera and video for documenting presentations
Activity
- Tell a story about an example of an activity/project you did with a teacher that inspired you in groups of 2
- Using the research from Tell a story, brainstorm the five components that are essential to the success your projects. Write them down on individual post-its and put them on your easel pad.
- Review the Design Process: Identify Challenge, Research and Brainstorming, Prototyping
- Design Process Video WGBH
- Research and Brainstorm a design solution to the design challenge that incorporates the five components from Tell a story and the design principles. Use an easel pad paper to write and draw your ideas.
- Once each group has selected one idea to move forward with, each group will share the their idea theme and learning objective(s).
- Then each group will select prototyping materials to create a three-dimensional design prototype of their design solutions.
- Each group will present their prototypes to the entire group. Followed by Q & A by the group.
- Once each group has presented and gotten feedback on their projects, they will create a new wiki page and write up a lesson plan describing their project below (under group presentations). They may also upload images and documents to their page and post resource links.
