A short summary of the collaborative work accomplished for this phase This week for our Interpretation Phase on Design Thinking we encountered similarities and differences from our interviews. The interpretation phase helped create themes from our interviews, and observations from our experts. Our experts included Administrators, Doctors in Education, and Parents. The themes that surrounded our Design Thinking challenged included: Misconceptions that English language is better, Parents need to chose bilingual education, Research to advocate, We Need Qualified Teachers and Administrators. Each story made us think about how we could promote biliteracy to our end users (community and parents). Our challenge questions: How might we increase access to a biliteracy focused, global, and competitive education for every student? Advocacy is our primary answer to our question, but how can we do this so the community understands the importance of biliteracy in the US. | Workshop on Interpretation PhaseHow might we questions... |
Your individual contribution to this week's work
This week’s contribution continued as a notetaker, and a facilitator during our meetings. In addition, as a team we shared our findings, and themes through our discovery phase. Our group used sticky notes to sort our ideas and move them through themes. In addition we created a visual image with Wordle from our interviews. I also collaborated in our google docs with a brain storming app, and added notes to our Google Presentation slides.
Challenges the group or you as an individual faced
Our challenges included finding people, at such a short time. I was able to interview online, and visit Hernandez family. In addition survey for parents shared through social media was not successful. Only one person completed the form to understand what the community thinks about biliteracy.
Another challenge for the group has been finding time to collaborate constantly while people start their routines, or continue on break. These challenges teaches us how collaborate through the use of social media to brainstorm and find solutions
Next time, would you do anything differently to better the process?
If I would do anything differently to better the process, it would be have more time to explore, visit and interview more people. Through the use of social media, we can contact professionals in the education field and learn more in depth about the ways we can provide all students with a competent and biliteracy education.
How would you apply this process with students or colleagues at your site?
I would use Design Thinking Project on the interpretation phase so students can go an explore the education there is outside their classroom. If we are looking at problem and they want to find solutions, they can interview, observe and be involve in their community. After their research, students can come up with a collaborative solution.
