Thought Processes

• This could be an idea which is implemented in a class room scenario. It could be a blog type set up which would allow for a teacher to hand out the log in details for the blog, the children could then go away adn upload their own ideas and comments and then these ideas could be reviewed in the next class. This is a way of gettingthe children to look at the website and look through the information on the website then talk about it and come up with their own ideas, it is a way of making the children and their parents aware of the website and the physics sciences around robots. Having a specific log in for the children will also provie a security blanket for the ideas and ensures that only specific users can upload information and comments. This log in will allow for the teacher to them log in to the blog and the work can be reviewed in classrooms.
• the concept of having this as a product which can be used in a class room, this means that the product has a focus and the teacher can make the students look over the website first and then talk about what they see, this idea also keeps the students and ideas contained.
• Teachers could start a blog and then write their exercise for the students to then log in to and view and then talk about.
• Teachers could be encouraging the students to design their own robots, this would mean that they would have to look throught the website and learn about the robots and then the students will have to write about their own ideas and use the drawing tool to draw a basic mock up of their ideas.
• When writing the posts there will be no 'commenting' function as this could be used for bullying and the teacher can talk about the ideas in class.
• we are trying to keep it as simple as possible, therefore there would be no archive or column to the right with extra links which is usually the case with blogs, however having an archive could allow the taechers and students to look over the work they have done already and assign more homework and build up a portfolio of work from the students which they can look over.
