NEW WORK PATH
App is now a mobile web app! This way it works a cross iPad, Website, Large Screen, and (Smart Phone - if we want too) Responsive web / html5.
App has a student mode, parent/guardian mode, and teacher mode. Sibling/Mentor mode is the same as the student mode. (Could be a two player mode? har har)
* The parent/guardian account can give a "positive role model" or sibling their own account on the iPad to work with the student.
iPad - Student, Teacher. Website - Teacher, Parent/Guardian. Large Screen - Teacher, Student(s).
LOOK INTO / RESEARCH MORE:
Digital divide between parents and kids - Mentors closer to his age will accept the technology easier.
What is the issues currently?
What is the divide being created? How are the parents not involved? More details!
Read: Teaching Digital Natives.
More psychological research on learning styles.
Discover / Look Into / Recreate & Define - The/New learning styles for the digital age.
More research on the individual level.
PROBLEMS TO ADDRESS:
We need to discover a common age when the parents commonly dip out.
Find out when the parents bail like douche bags!
Can we cross what the kids are passionate about and apply it to the learning.
Discover passion!
Teach it in the context using metaphor. If the kid is into soccer make the questions or lessons about soccer.
Extend the education outside of the classroom.
Reinforce this, parent or guardian. Family peers are just as important.
The Guardian is the channel operator - home/legal end.
BATTLE PROOF OUR CONCEPT:
How can they afford this kind of technology? Poor families? Middle class families?
How can we extract that information? Are the end product is them learning style?
Why computers?
Why technology for these goals?
Why is the app needed?
Why is the tablet needed?
HOW DO WE MOTIVATE THE KIDS:
What motivates the kids? Reward systems? Social networking - announcements?
The sense of self, what motivates them to be part of the system. What gives back to them?
The student will be encouraged to share the iPad and lessons with their mentors, parents, and others based on sharing and showing off their achievements, and goals reached.
THE END PRODUCT:
What are the parents getting out of this?
The learning styles information.
Create this whole system that teaches parents and students how the learning styles work.
LEARNING PROFILE of each student.
