Editor's Notes
Title & Problem/Need
Soroosh
Make up an interesting title; gin up a logo if possible; borrow one as a placeholder Identify an overall problem/need – short, sweet statement – You can present your “one sentence pitch” here. Same as slide 7.
3 Issues
Students need to know how they’re doing compared to state standards and which areas they need to improve in
Parents want to know how their student is doing
Current online testing depends on teachers to administer the diagnostic tests for them and are not designed for self directed use by children
Parents have trouble knowing why their children don’t understand the material
Parents may not have enough resources to produce material and assessments to effectively test kids
Homeschooled kids have no idea if they are on par with public schools and have trouble reintegrating
Yizhou will present
Identify 3 issues that are at the core of the problem/need/pain; State them as 3 short bullets (no sentences; phrases)
Tim is a homeschooled due to his parents having to constantly travel due to their job
Tim’s parents aren’t sure if they are on track with his education compared to public schools
Tim’s parents are worried he will have trouble applying to schools in the future with his education background
Example of 1 issue
Yizhou
Give a CONCRETE example of one of the 3 issues that is at the core of the problem/need for your app
Solution of 1 issue + Screen Mock UP
Annelise
Create a mock up of the screen that addresses the issue in slide 3. The mock up doesn’t have to be beautiful; just good enough to give a CLEAR sense of how your app will address the issue in slide 3.
Competition
Daniel
Who else is dealing with the same sort of issues? Make a “feature comparison matrix chart.” See below. Where “product x” are the names of other apps that “do the same thing” – or something similar.
Weekly Goals Time Line
Annelise
Fill out the attached “weekly project goals” spreadsheet. Include a screenshot of the spreadsheet in your preso. NOTE: you can’t say the same goal week after week; also you can say EVERY team member is working on the same goal – each team member is work on his/her own goal!
Your Vision
Soroosh
Repeat the one sentence pitch – as a summary. You will be practicing your one sentence pitch on Monday, 5/11. (see the references below) This slide should have ONE SENTENCE on it. ONE SENTENCE. Get it? How many sentences on the last slide? Thank you… (Use the format for the one sentence pitch from the Tech Crunch article)
