<p>Get additional feedback on your design activity and iterate.</p>
<h3 style="background-color: #2c2256; font-size: 20px; color: #2c2256; height: 35px; text-indent: 10px; padding-top: 10px; border-radius: 3px;"><strong><span style="color: #ffffff;">Instructions</span></strong></h3>
<p>1. <strong>If possible, test your design activity by implementing it with students!</strong> Remember that even as you facilitate the activity, it’s still important for you to make observations and think about opportunities for improvement. Take notes on how your students respond to the design thinking elements of the activity and what the facilitator experience is like.</p>
<p>An alternative to testing the activity with real users is to share your activity plan with people who work with kids. Depending on how long the activity is, consider asking them to try the activity out themselves and provide feedback.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Ask follow-up questions to your user or others after the activity.</strong> We encourage you to develop your own questions, but have provided a few examples:</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><span>What do you think works well in this activity and why?</span></li>
<li><span>What might need improvement? Why?</span></li>
<li><span>What changes would you make?</span></li>
<li><span>Is there anything confusing about the content? Were the instructions clear?</span></li>
<li><span>What questions do you still have?</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><strong>Also reflect on your experience as a facilitator.</strong> What went smoothly? When were you having the most fun? What frustrated you? What do you wish had gone differently?</p>
<p><strong>Turn feedback into action.</strong> Synthesize the feedback you received from your user or others and your peers in the forums. Identify key feedback takeaways that you can use to iterate and improve your activity plan. Based on the feedback you received, what are small changes you would make to your activity plan? Would you make any major changes? Improve your prototype, meaning your activity plan, based on the feedback you have received.</p>
<p>Refer to the Try <span>section of </span><a href="/assets/courseware/v1/3f93694b684fe7e73e3fc9fbd74184a6/asset-v1:MITx+11.155x+1T2019+type@asset+block/Design_Process_Tips_2018.pdf" target="_blank" style="text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.4em; vertical-align: baseline; transition: color 0.25s ease-in-out 0s; text-decoration: none; color: #009fe6;">Design Process Tips </a><span>for a refresher on this stage.</span></p>
<p><strong>Optional: </strong>Share your testing experience with your classmates in the forums. Consider replying to others to foster discussion. If there is something specific you'd like to engage with others on, make it the subject of your post.</p>
