IV. Reflection

We took the mission of Kentucky Avenue School into careful consideration, recognizing its commitment to ensuring that students acquire the skills and knowledge they need to be successful both in their schooling and throughout their lives. EureKAS aims to reinforce the values the school places on honoring each individual’s differences and using technology as a tool for fostering creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

• Based on the feedback from the final presentation and our own reflections, we identified several areas of improvement:
• Add “EureKAS!” button to encourage the students to acknowledge and record a joyful moment of discovery
• Create the instructor version of EureKAS, which would provide our team with the chance to further consider the needs of the teachers at KAS
• Keep conducting usability testing to create a seamless experience
• Consider more of the context of the use of EureKAS, in KAS and in other educational settings.
