These past couple of days have been interesting. I got a different perspective of how to look on creating an application and also different points of views on teachers who could use the application. I had to ask myself so many questions and look at the big picture here. Who were the main users and what do they want? How can I make this a place that they will use in their daily platforms that they already use? These are just some of the questions that I've been thinking about after speaking to teachers and an expert.
My first approach when creating this app was to have a platform for only teachers and parents to use. Having a specific login and password. You know all that user information that you need to input and having them use something new. This might not lead that why for now, but instead something more simple and integrated with platforms that they are already using today.
Also who are the ones that will be using it more. Of course the teachers. The parents are the ones that will be receiving notifications from annoying teachers (no offense to you all great beautiful teachers). With a simple SMS they will be notified with anything that the teacher sends them.
How can I make this a place that they will use in their daily platforms that they already use?
I come to this question because what is the best place to have this integrated and I also ask, what's the place where teachers spend most of the ime inputting information about the students. Not only should this be an easy feature to use, but also a feature that they will use frequently.
The best way to find out about all this is by Designing and Prototyping. For the past two days I've been filming teachers go through this process. For most of the teachers it was there first time doing the process of Design Thinking. It's a process that gets you thinking of course, but more than that it gets you to innovate a tool for users. I was speaking to an expert of design thinking and she gave me a great idea. Thanks Leticia!
