Designing Continued

Design Stage;

So since last week I have heard from one of the Primary Schools and they have agreed to meet with me before letting me do the workshop all in the case of safety, the issue is due to it coming up to Decemeber the School are becoming very busy with aspects of their Christmas fair and Christmas Play, so I am going to have to wait until the new year.  I have been given a meeting on the 20th of January to go in and meet up with the head teacher and explain my project to them and also tell them what I plan to do in the workshop.

So sadly until I get the chance to do this my design process is going to slow down a bit since I am limited to what I can do since there are aspects of the application I am wanting to design with the children.  Although it hasn't stopped completely.

I have been working on some ideas that could workout well for this since, I am currently trying to design it as a group activity but still have the children interacting with the application themselfs.  So working through some different ideas on how I could go about this, on Idea is have a character that appears and speaks to the children on the screen and letting the teacher decide who gets to do the next part of the story.  The other way is by having a selection randomizer that where the teachers would put the names of the pupils into the application and it randomly selects who gets to do the next part, while making if fair that a child can not be chosen twice.

I also have decided that the application will have two or three challenges that the children can work through, if I have time I will try and create more books within the application so that there is more to do but my current goal is to have one working story book for the children to work through.
