Phase 4: Experimentation
Phase 4 is all about action! In this phase my group worked very hard, all throughout the week, and we could have probably worked on this prototype for a month or more. We took our refined findings and questions from the popplet in Phase 3, combined with some feedback from our instructors to refine our focus, and decided to look at the issue of devices. How can we get devices to our students? Our solution was that schools could go 1:1 with devices! That ensures students have a device and access. Our prototype had to be something that achieved this goal, so we designed a How-To Guide for districts and schools looking to go 1:1. We created a plan, then a slideshow, then a few screencasts, and embedded all of it with our rationale into a blendspace lesson. Now we await feedback to move into part 2 of this phase, which is collecting and analyzing the feedback, in preparation for Phase 5.
