Meeting #1

17th February 2010
Today we met in the library for our first meeting and everybody came in with some wonderful ideas from a reality TV show to a mobile children’s event. Josh, one of the writers laid out a brilliant idea of having a website that would be in the form of a playground and children could play fun and learning games. The entire group including me was impressed with this concept and approved this idea in the first meeting itself. Hence, we selected the education and entertainment combined i.e. edutainment; as our answer to the brief.
Our next step was to do a lot of research on the current educational system of the primary schools and their curriculum. We also decided that it was important to meet the web designer who was assigned to our group to prepare the interactive media. I decided to go to meet the interactive tutor, carry out research on the subject phonics. Our next meeting is scheduled for tomorrow – 2pm in the library.
