Am I up for the challenge?

One thing that can help us to push through a challenging project is the ability to step outside of our own thinking and strategize about whether we have a good plan. That capacity to create a plan, try it out, see how it works before regrouping and try again is called self-regulated learning.

After the video, you’ll have a chance to reflect on connections to the soft circuit tangible project. As you watch, what resonates with you?

Round robin

• You'll each have about 1 minute to share out what resonated for you.

Due: Monday 11/1 before class

On your web site, create a new reflection entry. You may choose whether to use a written (1-3 paragraphs) or recorded (1-3 minute audio/video) format.

1. Reflect on how you can be strategic when approaching the tangible projects in this class. You can think about the recent soft circuit project, SquareWear, Arduino programming or consider this more generically, whichever helps you focus your reflection. Use these prompts to guide your reflection:

• What planning activities can you engage in?

• What resources are available to you that can help in formulating a plan?

• How will you execute your plan? When and where do you expect to do this?

• How will you evaluate if your plan is working?

• How will you revise your plan?
