At the beginning of September, I was invited by Ji Shen, an assistant professor of Education at the University of Georgia, to speak to the graduate students in his Technology in Science Education class. The goal was to give them a sense of the design process involved in researching and developing new educational technologies, and of the latest activities in WISE research. It was a good opportunity to describe the motivation for the design of the WISE Idea Manager, and to share some preliminary findings from our group's pilot studies this past year.
A few slides from my talk illustrate how two students used the Idea Manager to organize their thoughts about the causes for the seasons.
