10th March P2 8CY2 Mr Abe

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:

      Some good ideas here but you haven't followed the brain dump exercise. Repeat by adding the following for each of your ideas.
      A. How would an app help?
      B. What are the problems?
      Show evidence of research - ie has somebody else done this?

      James there are a number of things:

      1. Your ideas aren't very original. They tend to repeat well known apps such as banking, baby monitor and the Kindle
      2. Your task was to try to identify social problems and you haven't done this.
      3. You needed to show that you had researched your ideas. Clearly you haven't done this either.
