Self-Feedback to feedforward using the simple function "duplicate" in sketchbook

Alright, today we will share about how to use Samsung tablets for seamless designing, and one of the suggestions is to use Duplicate. With Duplicate, students can think about how their previous drawings can be improved. The question posed is: why is there a need to duplicate, and what happens if the drawing is poor at the start? I mentioned that this is not about drawing, but rather about how students can think critically about improving their previous drawings. Typically, drawings are seen as an expression of ideas, but often, they remain as just an ongoing expression without improvement and evaluation. So, the purpose of Duplicate is to help students refine their designs. That is the first part of the learning process.

The other part is about seamlessness. Students can create drawings and documents simultaneously because Samsung tablets allow saving directly to Google Drive, where files are securely stored. Students can save all their images into a folder and then upload them to Google Slide, which can be shared digitally. Actually, I was thinking—since students have all these images, can they convert them into a PDF file by selecting all the images before publishing? Eventually, the final output will be in PDF format for SEAB submission, why do we need to create a slide? We can discuss this part further later.

Is there an easier way so that documentation is not required? Essentially, students should just be able to create their designs without taking extra steps for documentation. 

I will also share about a concept. This concept involves drawing one image on a single screen, then using the Move button to resize and place it to one side, adjusting different sizes as needed. The tablet also has shortcut keys, where students can use three-finger touch gestures to quickly send files, and several commonly used actions can be performed more efficiently.

In this context, efficiency depends on how easily students can manipulate image blocks, making digital work far more effective compared to using paper. Just a short 1 hour try-out in PLT, we discovered and shared quite a few ideas.

With the help of ChatGPT, 

To reflect more critically on this experience, you could start by considering a few key questions:

  1. Effectiveness: How effectively did the use of Samsung tablets facilitate the 'Feed Forward' concept? What were the tangible improvements observed in students' work with duplicate as a "trigger" for students to think about their sketches.

  2. Challenges: What challenges did you or the students face in implementing this method? Were there any unexpected obstacles?

  3. Student Engagement: How engaged were the students with this approach? Did it encourage them to think more critically and creatively about their designs? Will the seamless process help students to better innovate?

  4. Improvements: What improvements could be made to this process? How can the integration of technology be refined to better support students' learning?

  5. Documentation: How can you streamline the documentation process further, ensuring it remains seamless and efficient while maintaining high quality?

2024 Thrive 3 - Self-evaluation of sketching using pen

First lesson with 2I (80-min) 20 pax (10 boys & 10 girls) - The use of Ideo video as a resource to test current students' design capability through reflection was not carried out. It is more of checking for understanding rather than facilitating self-reflecting as a class community. If I were to do it again, how can self-assessment be better embedded in the activity and facilitated? How to design a worksheet that embeds self-assessment? You see what we draw so we can improve our drawing - use a pen not pencil. In my research in 2018, it appears that student improves their sketching faster when they sketch with a pen. Why? they can't erase. They dare to explore  (1) Diagnostic assessment of sketching. Students at this age can identify if their observation sketch is accurate. When they are directed to evaluate their first attempt of sketching from observation using rules (isometric or perspective rule). All followed my instructions to improve. However, a 3 uses correction ta...

My reflection with AI about the STEM project

 I have just completed a STEM workshop with my students. I would like to reflect about this workshop to any of you. ChatGPT That sounds great, Joon Yong! How did the workshop go? What activities did you and your students work on, and what were some key moments or challenges you encountered? 4o We are working on building a chair using a cardboard. The requirement is to be able to withstand three kilos of weight, and also have a leg that is 15 cm long. However, based on my knowledge about knowledge building, I decided for them to make a wheelchair that the humans can sit on. ChatGPT It sounds like you extended the challenge to make it more engaging and relevant. How did your students respond to the new requirement of designing a wheelchair? Did they come up with any innovative ideas or encounter any specific difficulties? 4o Indeed, the outcome surprises us. Everyone is game to attempt, and all the groups have come up with a real-size chat at the end of the day. ChatGPT That's impres...
