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.

1 answer

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.
