C83 (Overview): How Do We Create a Prototype?
from Confessions of a PYP Teacher · host Lu Gerlach
Send us Fan MailA prototype is a model of something that we want to test or try out. In the PYP, our prototype is our unit of inquiry planner. We create a planning tool that ties all of the elements together with the singular purpose to connect to the transdisciplinary theme, central idea, and lines of inquiry. The other elements and content provide context for exploration. To make this come to life, we model various processes for our learners and our peers. This can come in the form of a think aloud using the Approaches to Learning (ATLs) and the MYP Command Terms. Join this episode to learn more about how to create a prototype through the design thinking process.
