Final Post – Idea generator
I have used many of the products in my own learning and with students – blogs and wikis especially. I think a great product that could be designed is also a simple one (in theory). Part of the issue in developing good PBL activities is coming up with a good topic/question/plan. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone created a very easy app, where you entered the following information:
– age group
– target curricular areas
– key outcomes
– timeline
…and got some project ideas spit out at you (with available supporting resources at extra cost, of course)?

… with a nice rubric that noted the curriculum links and marked the assignments for us based on quality, sentence length, and use of colour? 🙂
Sarcasm aside, I like the idea. What do you think of applying the cube here? Something like: a market focus (public schools), the type of offering (service and content), the buyer (guide offering to the learner), the global target (quite a widely applicable audience assuming that the curricular links can be supported), the market status (supporting both content an infrastructure), and the competition (there isn’t a great competition here).
Thanks for the idea!

Hi Emily and Kristopher,
I think may be on to something. It’s worth fleshing out. 🙂
