Evidence

During week 9, students accomplished a great deal and were very successful using their time wisely. In order to provide students with a source of possible inspiration, I went through slides that shared different architects from various cultures. I then presented numerous architectural styles of homes to get their minds exploring what their dream home might look like. Students began imagining the layout of their houses by brainstorming different aspects they wanted to have within their home. Some of them used tablets provided to get ideas while others utilized their phones during this stage.

​

Given that today’s students embrace technology, they were eager to learn how their devices could be integrated into this innovative architectural art project. This lesson enables students to create architectural designs using various means of technology which correlates with TQS III Element C.
