Design Process - Review / Revise

Last week, (encouraged by our student teacher Austin Holmes), you had the opportunity to investigate google street view.
In partnerships you took on the task of using street view to highlight activities and areas on the Ampang Campus of ISKL.

To complete this activity, you have several tasks :-

Task 1.
1. Create a google doc with assessment name and members. For example . 3d_Blake_Wyatt_Gabe  ( share with Mrs. Narsiman). 

2. Remember the street view photo is for a global audience and will be placed on google maps. 

• You need to critically appraise your work.
• Look for mismatchs, errors in your clips. If necessary retake.

3. The design process requires that you receive feedback. Use another group / partnership to do this. Document their feedback on your google doc. 

4. Choose 2 to upload to google maps. Take screenshots and place on google docs. 

5. If you have an iphone (or similar) you may wish to take additional street views so that you can view them on google cardboard.


Task 2. - This is an individual task.

Now that you have gained familiarity with 360 degree views, now is the time to investigate 360degree apps on the app store.

1. Navigate to the app store
2. Choose to download three vr apps , read the reviews. 
3. View them on the VR Viewers.
4.Critically write a review, based on functionality and appeal to 8th graders. Note down the pro's and con's.
5. Take screen shots. 
6. Add your work to the same google doc. 

Task 3.
Using the design process as your guide, develop and idea for a VR app that you believe could be used any classroom. 
1. Come up with name
2. Pricing
3. Purpose
4. Functionality
5. Write an iTunes, review and promotional page. 

Help needed!

Hey everybody,

I need your help for something. Last year, I was a Student Admissions Representative (STAR). This basically means that I gave tours to parents and students that are thinking of coming to ISKL. Now I have graduated I am back in the states. There is just one small problem, though. Malaysia is far from many of the countries that some of these parents are moving from. Oftentimes, the entire family can't come and visit the country and the school before they move here. I need your help creating a way that prospective students and parents can explore the school without ever leaving home.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it (you really have no choice), is to create a virtual tour of certain parts of our school to put on Google Maps so that those people that who can't visit the school can see all the great places of our school.



Instructions:
          1) Choose a partner that you could work well with (and trust)!

          2) Using Google Street View on the iPads, work with that partner to photograph 3-4 areas of                    the school with the 3-D photo apps. Think like a marketing person, highlight areas that                          would entice prospective students and parents to pay fees and attend ISKL.

          3) Be sure to avoid reality issues. Make sure that people aren't in the pictures with no heads or                  just a pair of legs showing.

          4) Go to this Document of Instructions to see the instructions that a teacher has used to explain                the process. Before asking any teacher for help, ask a classmate.

          5) Use the design process to make sure that you are planning out your photo locations                                intelligently.

          6) Have fun. Learn about the apps and cameras to make the best tours possible. Remember, you                are now representing the school. Choose the locations wisely. 

          7) Document your learning journey by creating a google doc -  your names_Googlestreetview.                 Reflect on the challenges and positives on this experience. Provide as many examples as                     possible, and also graphic evidence. 

Reflection ...

re·flec·tion

rəˈflekSH(ə)n/

"he doesn't get much time for reflection"

synonyms:

Finally, we can all breathe a sigh of relief and be glad that the introductory presentations are all over. Dare I say it , it is time for reflection.
