Here are some consistencies we are planning on
having:
- We should all have the same buttons. Anuj will attempt to implement the equals
button in his module, if possible, as he does not have one now. June, will make
his equals sign an equals button (to make it less confusing for the
students).
- We are all now incorporating clicking and
dragging. The kids seemed to really have
that computer skill under their belts.
I think this consistency may decrease confusion.
- We all need to make sure that we have something
to come up if the kids go idle for too long.
Some thoughts on June's module:
- He plans on changing the numbers to clicking and
dragging.
- He will make sure that the roll over sound
doesn't interrupt the opening frac monologue and that they don’t interrupt each
other either.
- If they get in the habit of coloring all the
pieces, he will have the frac suggest to "leave some of the pieces
un-colored"
Ted’s module:
- He will space the buttons out a little bit so
they don't accidentally click on the wrong button.
- If they get the answer wrong, he’ll let them try
that same question again (and not automatically go to a random new question)
- When he starts making sound files for the help
screen, he will keep them short. It’s
hard not to lose the kid’s attention.
-
Instead of saying "great job," his module will say "super,"
they prefer it. He’ll also use a thumbs
up sign for a sign of approval. When
they get something wrong, he’ll say, "sorry, try again." Everyone will try to stick to similar
expressions.
