Problem Solving - Technology





The theme for Term 1 has been Problem Solving.
Room 15 decided to make pop-up cards. First they had to make a card that popped up - without instructions. Next they were given instructions and diagrams to follow and most said that was even harder to do. Then they had to design a specific pop-up card that was to be given away to someone. Next step was to make a mock-up of their real card and assess it according to the criteria they had set. Finally they got to make their 'real' card that was to be given away.
LOTS OF PROBLEM SOLVING, QUESTIONS, FRUSTRATIONS MISTAKES AND ULTIMATELY SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
