Brainstorming
Book of Martha
The thing that stuck with me while reading “The Book of Martha” was the emphasis that it placed on the nature of actions and consequences
Actions have consequences
Topic
Making programming courses a requirement in school systems.
Proposed argument
If I could change one thing about humanity that would ensure our survival and thriving in the future, it would be to make programming a required subject in schools
Why?
Technology and the internet have caused drastic change in almost every industry. This change will continue to occur as technology continues to evolve, and more people will be needed for understanding the products
Emergent Strategy Element
Non-linear and iterative
Adaption would require years of work
School systems would ned to repeatedly improve their programming courses material, making it very iterative
How will technology help?
Current technology tools are enabling students to learn anything from anywhere, which makes a transition to learning programming very easy. Additionally, current technology tools for learning code are extremely advanced and user-friendly. Furthermore, as technology continues to evolve, there will be more tools for students and educators to choose from.

Questions for the audience to consider placed on left hand sidebar
How should governments change their budget to adapt to the change?
How can we ensure that corporations do not take advantage of this tranformation?
At what level of government should decisions about the transformation be made?
What tools should be used in teaching children to code?
How can we make regulation that benefits student learning?
How can we make better teaching tools?
Contact information and encouraging message to reach out
Propose the main thesis question at hand: How can we ensure that today's children are well-prepared to us the professional tools of the future?

Capstone Project 4 - Reflexive Design in my Unit Participatory Futures Project
Ideate and Brainstorm
I thought that it would be great to put the podcasting skills that I had learned in the previous unit to use and make another podcast.
I also wanted to continue the website I had started creating for Unit 1, so I ended up developing it to include all of the projects for this course.
https://digital-literacy-marco-riesgo.herokuapp.com/
The letter from the author will go in the home page, then the user will navigate through the website after having read the letter in the home page
Letter From the Editor
Prototype and Test
For unit 3's project, I wanted to create a website that contained a podcast and transcript to read along to as well as some added readings for the user to explore and some apps to expand their learning about the topic I was talking about in the podcast.
As I then completed the project and incorporated elements such as the Book of Martha and the Emergent Strategy, it became more important to consider how to place items for the reader to consider them important test repeatedly.
Empathize, Research, and Define
During the planning process for my participatory futures project, I spent time thinking about the people who suffered from not having the necessary technological skills when they tried to enter th workforce. As companies become more technological and complex, education needs to teach students the skills they will need in the future.
In order to research and ideate in past projects, I would look for articles from experts who agreed and disagreed with the topic I was discussing. This gave me more content to talk about as well as some articles to suggest to my listeners.
Structure and Outline
The initial process of design thinking when creating my project for unit 3 was centered around producing a podcast about what I believed to bee the best change we could currently see in the world as well as provide other sources for the user of the website to read more.
To do this efficiently, I constantly revised my structure and eventually even made the podcast element the main part of my final project. I wanted to make sure that I was telling my audience a captivating story.
Will be using the website created for storing the other projects from throughout this course
Instead of having four different tabs for each project, make the whole website b the portfolio project containing the other smaller two projects.
