Uh huh.
- 00:02 - 00:07
Uh Spider. Yes. My name is Christina Jackson. This is my video vlog
- 00:07 - 00:10
number six. About prototyping
- 00:10 - 00:12
For my c. p. d. 414.
- 00:13 - 00:15
Design leaders thinking
- 00:16 - 00:20
so my thoughts on prototyping is that it can
- 00:22 - 00:29
it can be beneficial but it's a hard thing to grasp because a lot of times you are
- 00:29 - 00:34
prototyping something for people you don't know if they're gonna like it or not.
- 00:35 - 00:38
You want it to be universal. So therefore sometimes it can be
- 00:39 - 00:42
difficult. I know in my group
- 00:43 - 00:47
we did a survey and then we took all those surveys and we put them together.
- 00:47 - 00:50
But even with that we all had different ideas
- 00:50 - 00:53
on what it is that we wanted to accomplish.
- 00:53 - 00:58
Some people wanted a a small bag. Some people wanted a big bag.
- 00:58 - 01:02
Some people wanted a bag with velcro some people wanted a bag with zippers
- 01:02 - 01:04
something you know they're the
- 01:05 - 01:07
the thoughts and the
- 01:08 - 01:15
prototypes that we could have created was endless. So sometimes that can be
- 01:15 - 01:16
um
- 01:18 - 01:19
a hindrance.
- 01:19 - 01:23
But I will say that for the most part
- 01:23 - 01:27
everybody sort of was in all the agreements about the bag.
- 01:27 - 01:32
The issue came in when we came up about what the bag was supposed to be about.
- 01:33 - 01:36
Um I do like the fact that
- 01:36 - 01:41
we did this in a group setting because then therefore you want in a silo thinking just
- 01:41 - 01:43
about yourself and what you like and what your
- 01:43 - 01:46
likes are that other people gave their input.
- 01:48 - 01:54
Um And so I do like that part of this assignment is for prototyping.
- 01:54 - 01:59
Um For myself I I always try to keep my others
- 01:59 - 02:08
and their thoughts and what they think. So I think that next time I think I want a,
- 02:10 - 02:12
I would like to work on something where
- 02:12 - 02:16
you create a prototype with other individuals.
- 02:16 - 02:16
Um,
- 02:16 - 02:18
and the reason why I'm saying that is like
- 02:18 - 02:21
we were prototyping because we needed a gray,
- 02:21 - 02:23
we needed to complete an assignment.
- 02:23 - 02:29
We thought that we were, we could make this for people. I mean that's for sure.
- 02:29 - 02:31
I don't wanna brush it off.
- 02:31 - 02:35
Like we really didn't put a lot of thought into our project.
- 02:35 - 02:39
But I do think that sometimes when you're dealing direct,
- 02:39 - 02:42
like if I prototype this was something my pastor
- 02:42 - 02:44
who I interviewed for our,
- 02:44 - 02:47
one of our subject minors. We were doing the divine
- 02:48 - 02:51
defined part of the project.
- 02:51 - 02:56
I think some working with someone like him and his uh personality.
- 02:56 - 03:01
So he would have been able to draw from others and get them to participate in the
- 03:02 - 03:07
uh, project and get the prototypes going. I think that
- 03:07 - 03:12
that could be beneficial. I think making students think outside the box
- 03:12 - 03:14
would have been beneficial.
- 03:14 - 03:16
I know that many of the
- 03:16 - 03:18
Youtube videos that we watch
- 03:19 - 03:22
have shown people together in a think tank
- 03:23 - 03:26
and working together and trying to create their
- 03:26 - 03:28
ideas and there's nothing wrong with that.
- 03:28 - 03:31
But sometimes you can have too many cooks in the kitchen
- 03:32 - 03:33
and that's part of,
- 03:36 - 03:39
I am so sorry, I apologize.
- 03:39 - 03:41
That is the whole purpose of this
- 03:42 - 03:43
of course.
- 03:44 - 03:48
And these projects is to get people thinking to get
- 03:48 - 03:51
people wondering what what it is that they need to do
- 03:51 - 03:56
um to glean glean off of others and figure out
- 03:56 - 03:59
what has worked best and what's been their experiences.
- 04:00 - 04:03
Um So I I do like that part of it.
- 04:03 - 04:04
I think that
- 04:08 - 04:12
you know I'm a big personal collaboration. I'm a big person on
- 04:13 - 04:15
making sure that you think of others.
- 04:15 - 04:19
You know you're not being selfish when it comes time to
- 04:20 - 04:23
um give back to something or put your all into something.
- 04:24 - 04:25
I just think that
- 04:28 - 04:30
what I would want to do differently is maybe
- 04:30 - 04:34
creates a prototype about something that directly relates to
- 04:35 - 04:38
something that I care about or not.
- 04:38 - 04:40
Not that I don't want to say it like that because I really do.
- 04:41 - 04:45
I really did put my effort in this project. I really don't want to say that
- 04:46 - 04:52
because my dad has M. S. And I I had to go home and take care of him
- 04:52 - 04:54
and I know that
- 04:55 - 04:59
you know he had this like little bag of stuff that he had to take with him.
- 04:59 - 05:03
And so yes I would have loved to have something where it was all central
- 05:04 - 05:07
centrally located where I could easily get his stuff.
- 05:07 - 05:12
You know one day he has to take one medicine the next day for his infusion,
- 05:12 - 05:14
he had to take another piece of medicine.
- 05:14 - 05:20
So I I can understand that and I think that if I
- 05:20 - 05:23
was my dad's primary care provider,
- 05:23 - 05:27
I think that the care pamper pack would matter more to me
- 05:28 - 05:32
and caring about the design and how it should feel.
- 05:33 - 05:35
I think that
- 05:36 - 05:41
excuse me. I think that my passion and code enforcement,
- 05:43 - 05:49
I think all the time about people who have disabilities and how we don't put um,
- 05:49 - 05:52
the same services
- 05:52 - 05:57
are the same type of instruments in the same place to be consistent in their needs.
- 05:57 - 06:00
For instance, in the city of Newport News, our work,
- 06:01 - 06:02
I noticed that the
- 06:03 - 06:08
handicap door activator is on one side and not on the other,
- 06:08 - 06:11
but if you come in on the east side of the building,
- 06:11 - 06:15
the handicapped activation button is on both sides.
- 06:15 - 06:19
So I questioned that because I said, you know, if I was a handicapped person,
- 06:20 - 06:24
why I gotta walk all the way across to to
- 06:24 - 06:27
get and push the button to activate the handicapped doors.
- 06:27 - 06:28
I think that's not fair.
- 06:28 - 06:30
And then you provide the service,
- 06:30 - 06:34
you provide that service for other handicapped people that are coming in on the
- 06:34 - 06:38
east side building versus me coming in on the west side of the building.
- 06:38 - 06:41
So that's something that they're looking at to maybe try to change.
- 06:41 - 06:46
Those are the kind of things that I think about. Um, so I think that
- 06:47 - 06:47
I think that
- 06:48 - 06:48
if
- 06:49 - 06:51
we were to go forward with this
- 06:52 - 06:53
and do another prototype.
- 06:53 - 06:58
I think that you have to get the same sort of like minded people in the room
- 06:59 - 07:00
and
- 07:01 - 07:01
um
- 07:03 - 07:06
I'm not saying this right so I apologize dr Emerson
- 07:07 - 07:09
um but I did appreciate the prototype.
- 07:10 - 07:14
I do appreciate the fact that collab collaboration
- 07:14 - 07:17
and creating a prototype is something that's needed.
- 07:17 - 07:21
And I think that my group we did the best we could
- 07:22 - 07:24
um with the people who did participate because we did
- 07:24 - 07:26
have a lot of people that did not participate.
- 07:27 - 07:32
And when we got those ideas together we came up with a great idea.
- 07:32 - 07:34
We came up with a great prototype and something that
- 07:34 - 07:37
we think that people would use in the future.
- 07:37 - 07:40
I like the fact that we came up with a tagline for
- 07:40 - 07:44
our prototype that is awesome and you don't get that a lot.
- 07:44 - 07:44
So
- 07:45 - 07:48
overall I think prototyping
- 07:49 - 07:50
was
- 07:50 - 07:52
beneficial to our group.
- 07:52 - 07:56
Um I hope I didn't come off saying that I hope this vlog
- 07:56 - 08:01
does not come off as me not caring about what we did.
- 08:01 - 08:07
I'm pretty sure it might but that is not that is not it at all. I'm very empathetic.
- 08:07 - 08:09
Have to be empathetic in my job every day.
- 08:09 - 08:13
I think that I could have came up with something more of a prototype.
- 08:13 - 08:16
If I was given if I was allowed to be given the choice
- 08:16 - 08:22
Of the defined the empathy to define the i.
- 08:22 - 08:26
d8 and the prototyping I think that I could have came up with that.
- 08:27 - 08:30
Um even without the group project,
- 08:30 - 08:33
I think that if I would have came up with something and
- 08:33 - 08:36
then was able to present it to someone else within the class.
- 08:36 - 08:41
And then they gave me their thoughts to help me change it and make it better.
- 08:41 - 08:44
I think I might have participated.
- 08:45 - 08:48
I don't even want to say that because I was very active in our group.
- 08:49 - 08:52
Um I think I would have came up with a better prototype
- 08:54 - 08:55
them
- 08:56 - 08:57
sort of what my group ended up with.
- 08:58 - 09:01
Thank you professor and I appreciate this
- 09:01 - 09:04
opportunity for learning and design thinking.
- 09:04 - 09:07
This is my reflect, reflective vlog number six.
