With my 8th and final post, I now reflect back on the first entry I posted back in September. Through this project, I not only created an idea and product, I learned how to integrate different, and at times seemingly disconnected, factors, as well as develop a vague idea. Though there is still much more to be considered, my mustard seed of an idea has grown into a tiny sprout throughout the duration of this project.
With each week, we were required to consider and integrate the topic of the week's lectures with our ideas. My idea was an application similar to Blackboard but with a to-do list and other functions that allow effective communication and organization for students and professors. As each week passed, I needed to think and dig deeper into the establishment of my product and take into consideration the many different aspects of development from hardware, privacy, and even networking. Week by week my product developed and become a clearer possible reality instead of the foggy idea it began as.
As the project now draws to a close, I see how much I have learned and realized as a result of this project and this class. There are many things to consider when creating something, and even the smallest decisions can make or break your idea or product. My idea started out as a mere solution to one of my own daily problems, but now it has a structure, privacy settings, and networking solution. Things I had not even known or considered, such as privacy settings, the use of Excel, and integration with input and output devices needed to be addressed and, as a result, have enhanced my product. Had this project continued, I am sure my idea would have changed from my initial vision, but for the better.
The only thing I wish we had spent more time on was creating cool and catchy names for ideas products... My idea is still nameless and has yet to be bestowed with a cool and clever name.
