critique of prototype

So today was the first test.  Some advising (I think grad students) helpers came to class and gave us help with our prototypes.  Of course, I probably gave him a too quick overview of the project, but he offered some helpful ideas, like slightly changing the PowerPoint for more than one viewing to maintain interest.  As well, my adviser liked the learner checklist and suggested that I strongly push this checklist to my client as a necessary tool for helping with organization.  I agree, but I do not know if the teachers will follow through.  Anyhow, I had a good day and it was a plus to have others critique our work.

I can see the end!

Finally, I think my prototype is almost ready.  I am anxious to meet with the advising group on Thursday and get some feedback. 

ID Plan Submitted, But No Time To Rest!

After lots of hard work, and many hours the design plan has been submitted.  It was a long process; however I understand the "how" and "why" much better.  Today, we began actual development of the prototype.  This is the fun part where the creative juices can flow.  I know I want to use a PowerPoint with a simulation game.  I am working on the physical game and should have it finished this weekend.  The PowerPoint will incorporate three major divisions:  The actual instructions for assembling the notebook, as well as an inserted checklist for learner analysis, the instructions for the simulation game, and evaluation, both formative and summative.  The instructions for assembling the notebook will be a PowerPoint within the PowerPoint.  The other two are basic resources for the teacher.  I have not decided if the PowerPoint should be left in a slide show or incorporated as a video.  I also have to work out the formatting so it can be used on a Mac computer since that is what all of the Rockingham County Schools use.
