T6 Feedback for 8YC2

Now is the time to give you feedback.  Please post the URL of your CT workbook to this blog post.  Remember that once you have finished your London App you need to start work on your app idea.  I would suggest that half of your group is working at making the app through AppShed or another tool should you wish.  The other half is working at your pitch which I would suggest is delivered through a PowerPoint, video or other media.

KEY DATE: w/c 6th July ALL GROUPS ARE TO DELIVER THEIR FINAL PITCH

London App - Make sure that you have showcased three screens of the app in your CT Workbook.

ROOM NUMBER: 44345580

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
You will learn to:

• Put together a mini elevator pitch
• Understand the SCQA technique
• Analyse problems and solutions to help with app design

This is the final opportunity to test your ideas. HAVE YOU GOT IT RIGHT? It will probably take this lesson and half of next lesson to complete this. We will then move on to practise app design skills using App Shed. Those of you with the technical skills can the look at Javascript or other application.

VIDEO EXEMPLARS
Look at the following videos of mini elevator pitches:
Pitch 1
Pitch 2
Pitch 3

• What in particular are the students trying to describe?
• How do they know that they have identified a legitimate problem?
• Do you think their ideas will work?
• Do you envisage any problems and if so what?

PUT TOGETHER YOUR PITCH
Working in your teams using the ideas and materials you have collected put together the mini elevator pitch. It should be no more than 90 seconds and should try to address the following:

SCQA
S What is the situation or problem you are describing? Ask yourself is this really a problem?
C What is the complication that this problem leads to?
Q What particular question or aspect of the problem are you going to address?
A What answer or answers is you app going to provide.

Click here for an example of SCQA.

Your pitch must also include:

• Your team name.
• The name of your app.

When you are satisfied that you have got the pitch right your best speaker should read the pitch out to the group.

Elevator Pitch Summary Post

Your team leader should reply to this post with a summary of your elevator pitch. Be sure to state your team name and the name of your app.

Presentations and feedback
Each team will make their pitch
Each of you will have a feedback form where you need to note strengths and weaknesses of each team's pitch and app idea. You will later comment by replying to the blog post with your feedback. This is important as it will help each team to design a good app.

We will have time for two questions after each presentation.

Homework

Using the notes that you have made on your feedback form you need to reply to each team's post showing the summary of their pitch and idea. Try to show one strength and one problem that they may encounter. Use proper sentences with a capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end.

In today’s lesson and for homework you are going to complete the Brain Dump task where you identify problems which may lend themselves to being solved by developing an app.

Learning Outcomes

You will learn:

• To identify problems in your day-to-day life
• To decompose problems into sub-sections
• Research possible ways of solving such problems

Brain Dump Task

Each member of the team should come up with at least two or more different ideas for problems that possibly can be solved by making a  phone app.    Each team member should in their ‘Apps for Good’ doc write a section which includes the following:

1. What is the problem e.g. “unhealthy hair”
2. Description of the problem e.g. “People have different types of hair.  For example, some people have greasy hair others dry hair.  Some have split ends others fairly healthy hair. Treating hair with correct shampoo, conditioner, brushing and cutting can be very difficult”.
3. What could an app do to help?

for example:

1. Suggest different shampoos
2. Suggest different conditioners
3. Suggest brushing/combing frequencies
4. Suggest cutting frequency
5. Other treatments

    4. Potential problems?

for example:

1. Collecting the data could be difficult.
2. Could suggest links with more severe medical problems.

Research

Show the URL of where you have done research and say what you have found.

Your Job

1. Discuss ideas with members of your team.  
2. Try exploring your day from getting up to going to bed and list all the problems you may encounter.  The size or seriousness of the problem  does not matter.
3. Complete the ‘Brain Dump’ task in your CT Workbook as described above.  This needs to be completed by next lesson.
4. Respond to this post with the URL of your CT Workbook.

Example comment:

I have come up with problems about “healthy hair” and “health finger-nails” and have completed the Brain Dump  Task in my CT Workbook:
