Your research is focused and specific. It seems like you are headed in a solid direction.

You seem quite informed on the subject for a graphic designer. I think that will serve you well when you eventually create the interface.

I feel like Matt Peterson would be a good resource with the textbook incorporation, as his PHD research involves re-inventing textbooks.

Well done! (nice clean presentation)

Nice presentation. I enjoyed your initial research about biology education. Nice example of the tags on specific pages. I really appreciate your visual examples of how this app works-it really made me understand.

nice work.

you did your homework, i understand your research. I think it is very useful to pair your application with the book.. like your own personal study buddy… an extension to learning.

the link between the teacher and student is really great, keeps everyone involved.

really nice graphics.

i especially like how you chose the specific learning objective..as something we experience everyday… like using a mobile phone.

really detailed concept maps, both visually interesting and informative.

I really like the direction your taking with the textbook and mobile application, especially for highschool. Since textbooks are required for use and homework etc. in highschool, I like that you’re taking a more interactive approach, I think the students would definitely engage with it more and be more interested learning.

It’s great way of making a textbook come to life. I’m excited to see how it comes out

I like the tag idea. I think a lot of kids don’t like talking in class and therefore don’t ask question when they have a question. This would overcome that and would make sure all the students understand the subject.

This would also help give more individual attention to the students without taking up all of the teacher’s time by visiting with each and every student.

Make sure to make this app highly visual and somewhat simplistic, since you are dealing with school-aged kids with short attention spans!

I like that you’re looking at the current problems with learning and how those can be addressed with the application.

I also like how your using the previous service ecology and allowing you application to aid those items instead of overriding the use of them. This is also very realistic, because we know schools aren’t going to throw away textbooks.

Nice presentation and I like the research you put into it.
I like that you took into consideration that the iphone is an individual experience and that you’ll tailor your app to that experience.

You show a very nice integration between the textbook and the app, which allows for more interaction and learning for the student. The presentation is very clear and pleasant to look at. I also like how you present the vectors of how your app would look like, it really helps us to see how the user would be interacting with your app. Great job.

Strengths:
-This seems very fun and like a nice break from more “traditional” learning methods. The interactivity is nice, and it’d be great to get the students more involved, hands-on, and immersed in what they’re learning. I think there’s a lot of focus on that in elementary school, but it’s often overlooked for high school students. I think you’ve found a real area of need!

Weaknesses:
-The app is very specific, but High School biology classes have a LOT of ground to cover throughout the semester. It seems like with such a specific focus that students wouldn’t have much time to use the app and have it be relatable to class.
-Does every student need to have an iPod/iPhone in order for the classroom to work?

Does the textbook mobile phone relationship exist just because the textbook is familiar? When does the learning process switch entirely to a mobile platform?

I think you’re playing off the affordances of each object (book, mobile device). The idea of a book as a armature for information gained in the field is really interesting. Are these students writing their own textbooks?

Broke down the research and focus your attention clearly by identifying the users and their needs.

The relationship between textbook, device, and the outdoors is a nice range of interaction that could hit on all different types of learning users.

How would you address the change from old edition to new edition of textbook? And the perspectives from different schools of thought ie…. Creation and Evolution? Perhaps this is too specific and hairy of a situation to address?
