Welcome to Computer Studies 10
Teacher: Mr. Jerry Heal
Students are expected to be able to do the following:
Applied DesignUnderstanding context
Defining
Ideating
Prototyping
Testing
Making
Sharing
Identify the skills needed in relation to specific projects, and develop and refine them
Applied TechnologiesChoose, adapt, and if necessary learn more about appropriate tools and technologies to use for tasks
Evaluate impacts, including unintended negative consequences, of choices made about technology use
Evaluate the influences of land, natural resources, and culture on the development and use of tools and technologies
Teacher: Mr. Jerry Heal
Students are expected to be able to do the following:
Applied DesignUnderstanding context
- Engage in a period of research and empathetic observation
Defining
- Identify potential users, societal impacts, and other relevant contextual factors for a chosen design opportunity
- Identify criteria for success, intended impact, and any constraints or possible unintended impacts
Ideating
- Screen ideas against criteria and constraints
- Critically analyze and prioritize competing factors to meet community needs for preferred futures
- Maintain an open mind about potentially viable ideas
Prototyping
- Identify and use sources of inspiration and information
- Choose a form for prototyping and develop a plan that includes key stages and resources
- Prototype, making changes to tools, materials, and procedures as needed
- Record iterations of prototyping
Testing
- Identify sources of feedback
- Develop an appropriate test of the prototype
- Conduct the test, collect and compile data, evaluate data, and decide on changes
- Iterate the prototype or abandon the design idea
Making
- Identify and use appropriate tools, technologies, materials, and processes for production
- Make a step-by-step plan for production and carry it out, making changes as needed
Sharing
- Decide on how and with whom to share product and processes
- Demonstrate the product to potential users, providing a rationale for the selected solution, modifications, and procedures
- Use appropriate terminology
- Critically reflect on their design thinking and processes, and identify new design goals
- Assess their ability to work effectively both as individuals and collaboratively in a group, including ability to share and maintain an efficient collaborative workspace
