Now - go to the online classroom and find the discussion about digital bathroom passes. Each person does this INDIVIDUALLY - this is NOT Part of the group project / grade

Find this Discussion in the Canvas and write YOUR OWN response

Silly Goose - Don't reply to another students posting

Step 2: From here on out everything is done WITH your partner and you will share a grade. Think about designing a DHS E-Pass that will work on every computer, phone, and tablet/device in the building

ONE partner brainstorm/ mindmap/ document your team ideas and plans for this step in network notebook (hint these pages will be turned in so...)

• Identify different types of users

  • Different users will be groups of people who will use the app in different way. So two students would use the APP in basically the same way...but who else will interact with this APP?

• Develop a Name for your App

• List some of the features of your app

  • buttons

  • scroll bars

  • lists/drop down boxes

  • text boxes

  • in app use of camera?

  • in app use of clock or timer?

Step 3: On a Separate Paper think and list about the DATA of your E-Pass. What information will it store? What will it collect? What data will it produce?

Now: IDENTIFY (write and explain on a sheet paper) - you can type and print if write like a serial killer

• One situation a teacher would find having e-pass more efficient than handwriting a pass

• One situation where a kid might not want a e-pass, but would prefer to have a paper pass

• One situation where a kid would prefer to have used an e-pass

• One piece of information or data that as a high school student there is no reason to share with a parent

• One piece of information or data that your parent should (or would really like )to have

Then compose (together) 1 paragraph that clarifies your teams opinion about student privacy, parent rights to know, the data your app will collect and store, versus the responsibility of a school to track students. You write from the point of view of THIS school, or any school or consider elementary vs high school needs.

I am a nicer grader when I can read what you done did wrote
