week 5: Guiding Questions
Dear pupils of S101,
Today is the start of week 5, and please be reminded that the first MMP needs to be handed up on Week 6. I have checked, but very disappointed to know that only a handful, less than 15 pupils actually submitted the chosen challenge. Please do so ASAP for those who yet to submit.
The next part of your journal is to generate guiding questions. Guiding questions are questions which are used to find answers to solve the chosen challenge. Examples of guiding questions.
1. Who are the target audience for my chosen challenge.< define the specific group of elderly.
2. Are there any existing solution to my chosen challenge? How can my solution be different or better?
3. How to ensure safety and comfort in my solution to the chosen challenge?< linked to ergonomic and anthropometry.
Research on the answers to the guiding questions and use the information to generate the requirement of your solution to the chosen challenge. These requirements are very critical and they are the guidelines for generating ideas for the solutions.
Focus and be on task.
Have a nice week ahead.

T3 W2: Journal Continues....
Dear Pupils of S101,
I hope you have done your part for your second essential question. If you have yet to complete it, please continues to work on it.
Since there are two periods today, it will be a good time to work on third essential question, " How aging impact the life of an elderly?".
The third essential question, How aging impact the life on an elderly? is about the challenges faced by the elderly. This essential question is important for the making of the first multimedia presentation, thus it is important for you to think through and research thoroughly in writing this part. Please do create a mindmap to consolidate the challenges faced by the elderly. example, health> fragile bone> mobility challenge> walking...etc etc.....
I will check and monitor your progress the next ADMT lesson. Essential Questions must be completed by week three so that you have enough information and time to plan and work on your first multimedia presentation.
Have a good week ahead!
Cheers,
Edwin Lim

Wk9: Ideation with Playdoh!
Some of the potential problems that most students would have are in the areas of visualisation of their proposed ideas. For today's lesson, what we are going to do is to leverage on the flexibility of Playdoh for ideation and visualisation.
Design Challenge:
For your challenge, you are tasked to design a door-wedge or stopper that is going to be used for a toddler or for a child up to the age of 6 years of age. The design should fulfill the following considerations:
Use only a SINGLE colour material
Should not have sharp corners
Is secure when placed as a door stopper, meaning that it cannot be removed easily without adult supervision
Must have an interesting theme relevant to their age group, i.e. favourite cartoons, shows, fairy tales, etc
Use the Playdoh to create a model of your intended design or designs, and sketch it out on your sketchbooks. Take a picture of BOTH your models and sketches and upload them in your ADMT personal blog, putting in the URL in the 'Comments' section of this post.

Identifying Bad Design
Go to the baddesigns.com website. Take a moment to study the products and situations that are listed in the site. These are some typical examples of designs or situations that are badly-designed, and might lead on to rather unpleasant product or usage experiences by the users.
Based on these examples:
Showcase a few products or situations that you can use and highlight as an example of something that is badly designed, whether be it a product, or a situation
Put these as a blogpost in your personal ADMT blogs.
Place the link/s to your posts in the comments section of this post
Remember to include these items in your blog post:
The problem (product or situation)
Proposed solution
A picture or pictures of the product/situation (do remember to quite your photo sources if they are taken from some other sites!)
You can use this mechanical pencil example as a guide
