What is the problem you’re trying to solve?
Making subjects like history and social studies more interesting and useful to middle and high school students. And to provide students with a wholesome perspective of history.
1. Frame it as a design question…
How might we deliver history and social studies material/content in a way that more effectively engages students and increases their interest, retention, and understanding of said material?
2. What’s the ultimate impact you’re trying to have?
To provide students with individual awareness of self through greater historical context into world and social history & affairs.
3. What are some possible solutions to your problem?
Building learning platforms and engaging/immersive experiences that deliver history/social studies content- via AR, VR, curated (and personally crafted) learning material
4. What are some of the constraints that you’re facing?
How would such initiatives be funded? Would schools support this?
What exactly am I measuring to ensure that the impact I’m aiming for actually is what results?
How does one ensure that the learning content is historically accurate and full? What kind of ways can we ensure that schools would approve of this?
Why do students learn “some” history and not all history? How do I prove that this is the current practice, why it’s deconstructive to students, and how do I offer a solution that would ultimately curb this?
5. Does your original question need to be tweaked?
No.
