Research Report  - Exploration of mobile technologies and creative practice.
Need to create an assignment that uses something familiar to the students and also something that is relevant to them. This will help them to focus down on how to study rather than the subject area they are studying alone.
By using mobile technologies and creative practice as the subject I hope to offer the student a subject that they feel comfortable with and can relate to. This intends to spark their curiosity and motivate exploration and learning.

Teaching Backwards

To state a theorem and then to show examples of it is literally to teach backwards. (E. Kim Nebeuts)

 "people are most strongly motivated to learn things they clearly perceive a need to know"
