Students were (for the most part) very articulate and open in their feedback, they had some excellent comments.
We also discussed the Design Process a bit more, they have walked away with an excellent grasp so far (which kind of amazes me - I was feeling like I didn't cover it as well as I should have) but they are enjoying the student led "flipped" aspect of the lessons (which kind of sucks since I like talking).
Looked at the clip from Men in Black and used that as a spring board to discuss critical thinking a bit more - and how its easy to loose sight of what the "real" problem is.
Assigned the Steve Wozniak clip (his thoughts on innovation). Hopefully students will find him more entertaining to listen to and tomorrow we'll discuss and compare the different innovators attitudes and definitions of creativity (Kamen, Mullins, Wozniak).
They should rock that worksheet (another one I have modified a bit).
I do enjoy the writing aspects of the lessons - and they seem to as well.
