Page history last edited by John Codega 6 years ago

10/24

  • Make the changes to A & B that Codega suggested
    • It's not that I don't trust you guys to do it later it's just that I don't trust you.
    • I will spot check this for a grade -- basically did you make some type of changes and did you work on it all block? 
  • Also to get done today:
    • Start thinking about Part C
    • Put together a working list of possible materials and components
      • If you are going to use premade components for some of your prototype make sure you have at least 3-5 options.
      • You may also want to go back and look at PART B and add some of this information.
        • EXAMPLE -- if you are looking at handles to add:
          • In PART B you need to add something about how you evaluated shape/size
          • Then in PART C you break down 3-5 types of the shape/size you picked in B. 

 

10/22

 

10/19

HOMEWORK

  • Finish up Part B 

 

 

10/17

  • Its been a minute...
  • Mock-ups ARE DUE THURSDAY
  • PART B IS DUE MONDAY! 

 

10/5

  • Continue to work on Part B
  • Part B is due NEXT FRIDAY 10/12 (I know we don't have class that say but it needs to be done and added to the IA document by Friday at noon) -- I want to look them over that afternoon (since it's a teacher work day and all)

HOMEWORK

  • If you didn't get the work done that was due today...GET IT DONE! 

 

10/1 & 10/3

  • Work on Part B
  • For your 5 formal iterations you need to get feedback before moving on to the two that you select to formally evaluate against the design specifications. 
    • You need to get feedback from at least 14 users/clients/target audience.
    • All 5 of the formal iterations need to have ANNOTATIONS!
      • These should reference:
        • the user feedback
        • additional research
        • your thought process
      • The point is to SHOW the reader how/why your designs evolved.

HOMEWORK

  • PART B is due Friday October 12th (which is a 1/2 day) 

 

 

9/27

KEY CONCEPTS

  • N/A  

OBJECTIVES 

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the IA Part B rubric
  • Examine the requirements of IA Part B  
  • Show tangible progress on Part B 

CLASS ACTIVITIES 

  • FIRST:
    • Take a look at your Part A
    • Go through and label your Design and Marketing Specifications  
      • 1.1 -- 
      • 1.2 -- 
      • 2.4 --
      • 3.5 --
      • etc... 
  • Time to develop some ideas!
    • From your user feedback and the Design and Marketing specifications from Part A, select 5 designs to bring forward to the next stage.
    • You will model the five (after they have undergone changes/improvement/combo with other ideas)
      • TinkerCAD (just because we don't have AutoDesk installed on our machines)
      • Google Sketch Up (use the free web based version) 
      • Or you can construct cardboard proof of concept models
    • ALL need to be annotated (obviously they are digital so you need to take pictures/screenshots that you will import into your IA and then annotate.  I suggest you write your annotations as you finish each design and then you can create text boxes and format later on when you are putting part B together.  Please don't wait until you are putting it all together on October 12th to annotate them -- write them while it is fresh in your mind!).  Be sure to reference your Design and Marketing specs (you can just use the # -- i.e. 1.3, 1.7) in your annotations as well!
  • Please look at this page -- it will help http://www.ruthtrumpold.id.au/destech/?page_id=48
  • Please look over the checklist provided here  
  • Still confused what Part B should look like?  Check out these examples released from IB:

HOMEWORK

  • The second iterations of your design will be checked for a grade on FRIDAY 10/5 but they most likely need to be completed before this date if you are going to meet the 10/12 deadline.  If you get done before this please get feedback and begin work on the next round of iterations (the two finalists evolved designs).  

 

9/25

KEY CONCEPTS

  • N/A  

OBJECTIVES 

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the IA Part B rubric
  • Examine the requirements of IA Part B  
  • Show tangible progress on Part B 

CLASS ACTIVITIES 

  • Codega will check your napkin sketches for a grade.
  • Individually discuss the napkin sketches w/ Codega
  • Meanwhile:
    • Get user feedback about the sketches to help decide which ideas to take forward
      • PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO DO THIS CORRECTLY AND HONESTLY.  Any made up feedback will result in some academic misconduct issues for you... 
      • Here is a helpful document that you can use to document your feedback
    • Once you have gotten feedback it is your job to refine five ideas.  This can take the form of:
      • More formal drawings w/ heavy annotations describing the changes you made/ideas you combined/further research you did
      • Tinker CAD or real CAD renderings of the designs w/ heavy annotations describing the changes you made/ideas you combined/further research you did.  You can 3D print these if you want as well!
      • Cardboard mockups of the designs w/ heavy annotations describing the changes you made/ideas you combined/further research you did (you need to take pictures of them!
    • Please look at this page -- it will help http://www.ruthtrumpold.id.au/destech/?page_id=48
    • Please look over the checklist provided here  

HOMEWORK

  • Get at least 8 documented users/clients/etc to give feedback on the first batch of sketches.   
  • Watch this video and come next class ready to practice actual drawing!
    •  
 

 

9/21

KEY CONCEPTS

  • N/A  

OBJECTIVES

  • Create a schedule for the IA (due dates)
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the IA Part B rubric
  • Examine the requirements of IA Part B  

CLASS ACTIVITIES 

  • Take a look at Part B
    • IT WILL BE DUE 10/12 (Friday) 
    • Specific feedback from the IA's last year:
      • "Part B should show how initial ideas evolve through development (really show design thinking).  This is communicated through annotation, graphical and physical models (WITH INPUT FROM USERS/CUSTOMERS/EXPERTS along the way).  THEREFORE, unrefined ideas should look significantly different from developed ideas."
    • Let's look at the rubric and clarifications
    • And then look at THIS CHECKLIST!
    • Take a look at this one
    • Take a look a some examples from last year -- but remember, they all got marked down so PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THESE AS PERFECT EXAMPLES TO EMULATE.  
      •  

HOMEWORK

  • Come back next class with 10-12 napkin drawings -- this is the brainstorm/idea generation phase.  Use your research to inform your ideas! 

 

 

9/19

  • Time to peer grade your Part A's from last year.
  • Your job as the peer grader:
    1. Use the checklist that Codega hands out and do a first reading/evaluation of the Part A. Use a check mark or an X for each part.
    2. On a separate sheet of paper give actual constructive feedback for any item that did not receive a checkmark.
    3. Once you are finished peer grading take a few minutes to conference with your partner -- explain the changes needed.
    4. Now, reread your own IA
    • take the feedback you received and make the changes that you notice and that your partner recommended. 
    • Once all that is complete you are done.  Codega will start looking at these 1st block tomorrow (9.20) so make sure you have made all necessary changes before then.
    • You will receive a grade for working hard on this all period (and some of you desperately need a 100 in the gradebook...)

 

9/17

  • Test (yup). We need to get this out of the way...
  • Turn in the tactical urbanism stuff
  • IA!   
    • Part A Review
      • Look at this and then grade it (just pgs 2-10)
      • Grade it according to this rubric:
    •  

 

9/7

 

9/5

  • Presentations Day 2

HOMEWORK

 

8/31

  • Turn in the 1 pagers
  • PRESENTATIONS! 

 

8/29

  • Continue to work on your 1 page documents
    • Remember, the design MATTERS!  If it looks like a word document then your grade will suffer.  Also, a template does not qualify as design -- I'll just send your grade to the Microsoft designer who created the template; I'm sure they'll be pleased.  
  • Work on the activity
    • You can pitch ideas to Codega (might be a good idea so you don't end up with a 7/100) 

HOMEWORK

  • ALL 1 pagers due FRIDAY
  • We'll start presentations (in order) 

 

8/27

  • Some of you turned in a one page document.  If you did:
    • Codega will conference with you about it -- chances are there are some changes that need to be made...
    • While you wait, plan a hands on activity... 
  • If you didn't turn in a document:
    • Sketch out a layout for your one page document and then meet with Codega -- chances are changes will be made...
    • If you get that done then start planning your hands on activity...
  • NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE PRESENTING ON FRIDAY!!!! 

HOMEWORK

  • Be ready for FRIDAY! 
  • A word on naming conventions:
    • 4_2_Timber_Maegan_L 

 

8/23

  • Due to the lack of laptops we will get some other stuff that needs to get done, done.  
    1. Put up the ACF sign and redesign the light layout.  Also move things back from the 400 hall closet to Codega's room. 
    2. Clean up the shop! 
  • NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, WE WILL GET DT CONTENT DONE NEXT CLASS! 

 

8/21

  • Let's get back into it!
  • Expectations for this year: 
    •  
  • First assignment of your senior year:
    • Review!
    • Here is your assignment for the rest of the week.  Presentations are due on MONDAY.
      • PLEASE do a nice job... 
      • Create a 1 page "MUST KNOW" sheet for the topic Codega assigns you.
        • The one page document MUST CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
          • At least three images that relate to your topic (good ones too -- not the first hit on Google Images)
          • Covers all aspects of the topic -- make sure you hit everything that is in the IB DT Guide
          • Has a link to at least one video that relates to your topic.
          • Has an easy to read, follow and has an aesthetically pleasing layout (remember, this is DESIGN technology after all!)
          • Emailed to Codega by the end of class on Thursday -- NO EXCEPTIONS!
        • A five (5) minute hands on activity that reinforces the content from your project.
          •  The activity must demonstrate creativity and analytical thinking (NO WORKSHEETS or anything that is related to a worksheet -- no crosswords, fill in the blank, etc.  THIS IS A HANDS ON ACTIVITY!!!!
          •  No longer than 10 minutes but no shorter than 5 minutes
          • Helps the class gain a deeper understanding of your topic.
      • Each of these will count as a test grade (the first two of the year) and you will be assessed on Wed. and Friday on your progress towards.
      • Topic assignments 
      •  Here are the rubrics
    •  

HOMEWORK

  • Pick an episode of 99% Invisible (https://99percentinvisible.org/ or search for it on your podcast ap of choice).  
    • Pick an episode that you think is interesting -- really look, don't just pick one from the top of the list) and come to school ready to talk about it. 
      • There will be specific questions about why you picked the episode you picked -- vague answers will get you a zero for the first grade of this 9 weeks!
