Time To Play And Document

  1. Around the room, there are play areas set-up (continued from the last session). There are also examples of documentation around the room and on the links posted on the title slide.
  2. “Play” with the other people in each area and document observations and conversations. Experiment with different apps or web-based programs if you want, or even low-tech options (paper and pencil). Capture what people said and did.
  3. Look at documentation with the other people at your table groups. What did you notice? How might you extend the learning?
  4. We will come back together at the end and share some ideas as a full group.
