TO DO-day 5
LEARN phase
1. Go to the classroom that has your game. Take a photo of it. Then ask the students what they liked and didn't like about the game. (10 minutes)
2. Back in F19, discuss with your group what your goals were for making it fun...and did you meet those goals. Why or why not?
we did meet our goals because the kids told us it was fun and attractive also we know it was easy for them not impossible because they where keeping point and having a competition.
3. On your blog, reflect on the following questions
-What was the biggest problem you encountered? How did you solve it?
at the beginning the decoration of the game was difficult. one of our goals was making the game attractive and circus themed at the beginning this was very difficult and we didn't think it was going to work. after we manged to paint faster and achieve the circus theme.
-When did you get your biggest "AH HA" idea? What was it?
our biggest ah ha idea was making the ramp that would return the ball so that people could play again. this was the biggest ah ha idea because it made the game for sophisticated and also easier to play. also the ramp was really important for the game because it we didn't have it it would've have been difficult for the kids to get the ball back.
-Who in your group resisted new ideas the most and why?
maria was the one who resisted the most. sometimes she didn't want to do it any other ways than hers. also she never wanted to try new things she thought there was only one way to everything.
-What doubts did YOU have about the project and how did you overcome those doubts?
we thought that maybe the kids were going to loos the balls. that was a problem for the game because with out balls you cant play. what we did to avoid this was making three extra balls that way if they lost it they were more balls they could replace it with.
-Who in your group played "devil's advocate" (a person who questions everything, even good ideas) and how did that help the process?
Nicole was the devils advocate because every idea that was throw on the table she questioned it. This was good for the group because she made us question it too and try to make it better to convince her.
-What did you learn about yourself, teamwork, and the design process?
i learned that you need to plan things and make steps before you make something so that it can be well achieved. also i learned that in teamwork there is always going to be different ideas and that we have to find one that combines all of them.
