Problem
Step 1
The team has identified a need for a better way to achieve communication in our high school. After brainstorming and collaborating with the help of Ms. Dugger, club collaborator, we decided that a digital bulletin board would achieve this purpose. The digital board, which we are calling ¨ Bruin Board," at Ms. Duggerś suggestion, will be located in the cafeterias and other parts of the school. It would enhance and bring in a global way the interesting things that are happening in our school and community.
 
Brainstorming
Step 2
 
  • The team has recommended the creation of a student survey to gather specific opinions regarding the type of  announcements that students think should be displayed on the bulletin board. The students in the English classes and those in the  ESL Reading and Writing ones will be taking the survey as well.
  • The North Bergen High School Staff will also take the survey. At the end of each survey, the team will compare results and the appropriate recomendations will be made.
 

Step 3

Prototype

 
  • Compare teacher and students results

Step 4
