Post-Spring Break Meeting Notes

From our meeting with Dianne:

Dianne feels constricted by the core knowledge curriculum (and so do we)
Students help each other with the computers, but preferably no teacher supervision
Dianne just told us she wants to include math puzzles
Random notes:
If we had looked at specific software and done the readings we are doing now earlier in the semester, we could have used ideas from class while designing (such as the playground/simulation/game triangle)
One weakness of our program is that the user's character has nothing to do with the rest of the program
In each colony, there should be one puzzle piece
The number of travel tickets and colonies traveled to increases by level
Biography puzzles -- establish narrative instead of random facts
We should use identities rather than occupations for characters -- this will help with having female characters

What we need to do:

Who will do what for next week:
