Week Four

This week we looked at our storyboards together and those of the students from LCC. Seeing the kids and their Idas were wonderful, but I felt the method we used to communicate could be improved. Some would talk so softly that we could not hear their ideas, others had stories that we wanted more detail from and gaining their attention to ask questions was nearly impossible. There seemed to be a miscommunication in the themes that we wanted within the stories – pollution, plastic, conservation – as many were simply stories of superheroes who overcame obsticals. I feel a little uneasy about the time we have to colloborate and come up with three project ideas by next week. It seems like a daunting task to further turn these stories into digital manifestations of AR/VR. However, I am hopeful and excited for the project ideas to come together despite my reservations. Next week we will be in the classroom with the kids, and I am curious how physical presence will affect our dynamic.
