"The Product"

Lately, well since yesterday really I spent my evening thinking of what I would like to do as my final product. I thought and talked to people who I value about what they thought would be good for my final product. My main concern which I stressed was I didn't want to create something dull in which I am going to bore the people that are going to be sitting there listening to me for an entire HOUR. It's bad enough that overall people really doze off after a couple of minutes during an entire presentation. I have to admit that I am guilty as charged. I watched the "Last Lecture" and although I followed along during the entire time I have to say I got lost and dazed for a brief moment. That is what I have taken upon me to conquer. How will I grab the viewers attention?, how will I leave an impression? and what will I do to create such an effect? As for now I feel that I can grab and transfer knowledge by creating some type of game in which it will not only recommend student-teacher interaction but also stimulate them to actually apply their previous knowledge. Something that I learned about education and how technology affects while I was writing my research paper was the philosophy of "Constructivism". The essesnce of "Constructivism" is to apply additional knowledge on top of knowledge. So my product will not teach a new subject but another aspect of what has been already thought to them. Again it will be composed in a way in which the whole class will work together to execute the lesson and learn something new about a social studies unit. For the time being I have laid my foundation...all I have to do now is BUILD THE HOUSE!
