Imagine - Brainstorm! What are some solutions?
During this stage, students think creatively to look for possible solutions to the identified problem. Research and brainstorming are important components of this process, and all ideas are welcome. Some factors to consider are:
- What will be the best way to motivate the user or audience?
- Will this solution be relevant and/or interesting?
- How easy will this solution be to use and/or access?
Ultimately, through group discussion, students will choose a way to solve the problem.
