I encourage students to develop work that invites feedback during the process of ideation and brainstorming ideas, so that right of the get-go students understand that they won't be working alone, and that it is the act of collaboration, listening, building empathy that will result in a better solution.

Students work in this self-led project , independently and in groups where they evaluate each others work regularly. At intervals advisors join the groups to provide feedback through a series of discussions and presentations. As a teacher Typically I teach by building confidence and skills through repetition and practice, allowing student to present work in a series of iterations that build their skills each time resulting in greater proficiency and abilities. ]]> 2020-07-31 19:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/serickson20/nhm7zouc4wuo41q3/wish/666811584 serickson20 https://padlet.com/serickson20/nhm7zouc4wuo41q3/wish/666815253 This project,  COLLECTING COLOR  was originally called Detroit Color, but with some students working remotely, we renamed it. It will perfect for blended learning. Students can work independently on the brief outside of the class time, and in their location and then share the work while in the classroom. The organization of the images takes a lot of time to master, students will need to share ideas together to come up with new arrangements and methods for their grid. We have given students options for how to arrange, they can opt for a monochromatic scale of an analogous scale as you see in the example.
The image shows the first page of the project.

She took over 700 photographs to create this piece!  ]]> 2020-07-31 19:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/serickson20/nhm7zouc4wuo41q3/wish/666819296 serickson20 https://padlet.com/serickson20/nhm7zouc4wuo41q3/wish/666824638 Q. What am I afraid of? 
A. Time. We have students in four time zones in the Fall semester. 

• Detroit
•  India +     9.5 hours 
• Taiwan + 12 hours 
•  Korea +  13 hours. 
• I am not worried about the lecture and resources preparation but the face to face time will be a challenge. I am planning on adjusting to work in the evenings for some sessions.

Melanie McClintock CMD Adjunct faculty agrees that this will be useful for our instructional strategy. We aim to provide solutions for both face- to-face real and virtual meetings using the flipped classroom method.
