Start the Personal Project - taken from itslearning

1.
AOI Context - Which Area of Interaction (AOI) will you use as the context for your personal project? Explain the reasons why you have chosen this AOI.
Svara
I will use Approaches to learning because I need to discover effective ways of teaching people something in my project.

2.
Topic for investigation -  You were asked two weeks ago to read through the document How do I start the Personal Project? and to start answering the questions given in order to pick a possible topic to investigate. From the list you have made, which topic... ....appeals to you the most? ... fits in with what you already do? ... will be challenging enough to keep you interested over several months? Make a choice. Pick one topic and explain why you have chosen this topic and how it fits under your AOI.
Svara
I will use Approaches to learning because I want to discover new ways of learning and making things. I have chosen to make a flashmob where I choreograph a dance piece for many people, and then we all perform it in a public place, spontaneously. This fits under approaches to learning because I have to figure out a way to teach a lot of people my choreography so that it is organized and everybody can remember it.

3.
Inquiry question - Brainstorm possible inquiry questions for your project.
Svara
How can I teach a big group of people (at least 20 people) a dance choreography?

4.
Deciding on the outcome or product - Will it be a performance? A published writing? An event? A static visual display? An interactive display? Depending on your project you might combine two or more of these ideas to create your product in response to the inquiry question.
Svara
It will be a performance and an event.

5.
Creating specifications - You will need to create specifications for your outcome or product. They are the way you will know you've achieved your goal. What are your specifications for your outcome or product?
Svara
My outcome will be a video of when the flash mob is in action.

6.
Resources - Make a list of the resources you will need to consult to complete your research (people, community services, electronic and print resources, etc.). Note: your list will grow when you do your research.
Svara
People, electronic resources.

7.
Process - List and number the steps you will undertake to achieve your goal. Be as specific as you can when detailing the tasks you will need to complete in order to achieve your final results. (This list will grow later!).
Svara
1. Make the choreography 2. Find people who wants to participate in a flashmob 3. Teach it to them 4. Find place to perform it 5. Perform it
