Brain-Storming “Rules”:
- Encourage wild seeming unrealistic ideas
- Don’t judge others’ ideas
- Build on ideas put forward by others
- Every group member and every idea has equal worth
- Get as many ideas as possible
Issue:
Engineering class of 27 students have only 25 computers. How can all 27 students have equal access to computers?
Ideas:
- Ask class to donate $$$ for additional computers
- Ask for school funding / scholarships
- Find kids with parents that work with computer companies willing to donate computers
- Make computer assignments take half a class periods time
- See if other computer classes (math, biology, etc) have extra computers
- Duct-tape 2 freshman to the High School Sr Rock... (just kidding)
- All engineering students pool together to raise money to buy 2 more computers
- Shift 2 students to a smaller sized (23 or less) Intro to Engineering class
- Allow students to use their own personal computers (need to download software onto their computers)
Thanks for the input Phil, you have some good solutions in mind.
ReplyDeleteGood initiative sharing your perspective. I'm awarding you some extra credit on Term 5 for this.
