This week our class received our Set-BC technology which means we can finally get going on our Somenos Marsh project! Many of our students were very eager to get the MacBook Pro computers and GoPros out of their boxes and up and running. Luckily, we have a few technology wizards in our class who were happy to take on this task.
Our next step was to start talking about what we want to accomplish in regards to enhancing the visitor experience, either in person or virtually, at the Somenos Marsh. We put students into groups of four and had them create T-charts which looked at "What is at the Marsh already? vs. "What needs to be added?" Many wonderful ideas were suggested, as noted by one such example below. Finally, we had each group choose their best or most important points and add them to the board so we could begin to prioritize ideas (as seen in the bottom picture). Our next steps will be to re-visit this list and identify the most feasible project ideas based on the time and resources we have available to our class. Stay tuned!
