Problem: Students in the imaginary foundation phase class do not have access to a watch to monitor time during activities and transitions.
1. Identify the problem: The lack of access to a watch makes it difficult for students to track time accurately during class activities and transitions.
2. Research: Research existing solutions such as analog watches, digital watches, smartwatches, and clock apps on electronic devices.
3. Brainstorm solutions:
- Provide each student with a simple analog watch to wear during class.
- Equip the classroom with a large wall clock visible to all students.
- Integrate a digital clock display into the classroom smart board system.
- Implement a classroom management app that includes a timer and alerts for transitions.
4. Prototype: Test out different solutions to see which one works best for the class. This could involve borrowing different types of watches for a trial period, setting up a wall clock in the classroom, or testing out a clock app on a tablet.
5. Test and Evaluate: Gather feedback from students and teachers on the effectiveness of the different solutions. Consider factors such as ease of use, visibility, accuracy, and overall impact on classroom management.
6. Implement: Based on the feedback and evaluation results, choose the most effective solution and implement it in the classroom for all students to use.
7. Monitor and Adjust: Continuously monitor the use of the selected solution and make adjustments as needed to ensure that students have an effective and reliable way to track time during class activities.
Not having a watch in your imaginary foundation phase class is a problem, use watch as a problem to solve using the technology design process.
