Group 1 - First Meeting

Today we had our first meeting and introduced ourselves and what we thought would be our roles in the group. The majority of the group had never worked with one another so this was exciting and we all seemed to get on very well, creatively and socially within the group.

We also tried to come up with an initial idea.
After discussing a couple of ideas the one which we decided to develop was a modern day fairy tale that the user would navigate through the different artefacts to create their own narrative. One common idea in the group was that it should be based in traditional fairytale and presented in a modern day setting.

We discussed what we thought would be the basic age range that this product would be aimed at. By the end of the meeting we had a rough idea that this would be suitable for children ages 8-12 but we decided that we would need to do more research to narrow this down.

We also discussed whether we wanted the project to be more entertainment based or whether it should be for purely educational purposes. In the end we decided that the project would be mainly for entertainment purposes but could incorporate educational values such as literacy, story-telling, presenting moralistic questions and perhaps including some numeracy based problems as well.

As the writer in the group I said I would go away and work on the story using the structure we had chosen ready for the next meeting.
