Task
Working in Groups:– Appoint a facilitator– Appoint a spokesperson – “brainstorm” and generate one project idea
Then decide:– What background reading / research will we need to do before we
can do the project well?– How will we carry out the study / design and implement the
software?– How will we show what we have done?– How will we evaluate the work?
