So Dan Pink talks about design and storytelling as ways to help develop crucial right brained thinking skills, so along with ISTE standards, school expectations and personal interests, I'm keeping this in mind when developing projects.
Over the past few months, 5th grade has been studying "progress". Though they study China and Greece, I chose this as an opportunity to do an ipod exploration with the students.
Over the course of a month, we looked at changes in ipod design from 2001 to present day, talked about product design and usability, explored price trends, features and interface. After exploring the history of ipods, we designed ipods of the future and then made prototypes. Enjoy this short video of a student talking about his take on a new ipod.
