Group 4 Brainstorming:

Our Names: Ashley, Natalie, & Marika

Q: What do we need in order to have this class feel like a safe, equitable, and productive space for learning?

• Everyone participating, especially in small breakout groups
• Paying attention to one another
• Respecting everyone's varying levels and skills of coding

Q: Coding may sometimes feel frustrating and daunting. What could we do together, and what can be useful, to help us learn through problems?

• Showing examples of what's required
• Having a class group chat to be able to talk with one another and ask questions
• Create small groups to talk about assignments and help each other

Q: A lot of coding is about gathering resources (Googling, referring to documentation, or looking at other people's work) you need and learning about it. But it's also important to be truly understanding the fundamentals, rather than copying someone else's code without understanding. What could we do, in our Studio projects or in our Lab homework, to make sure we're doing our best to show we're applying what we've learned?

• Sharing our resources within the class
• Designing outside of your comfort zone and experimenting with each assignment
• Help someone step by step if they have a question, instead of simply telling them the answer
