Peer-­‐graded	
  Assignment:	
   Reflection

1  Challenge:	
  	
   The	
  challenge	
  that	
  we	
  faced	
  at	
  our	
  school	
  was	
  that	
  children	
  and	
   teenagers	
  where	
  sharing	
  intimate	
  pictures	
  with	
  other	
  students	
   through	
  social	
  media	
  such	
  as	
  facebook	
  messenger	
  and	
  whatzzup.	
  The	
   implications	
  of	
  that	
  practice	
  had	
  legal,	
  psychological,	
  social	
  and	
  even	
   moral	
  consequences.	
  Sometimes,	
  without	
  knowing	
  the	
  consequence	
   of	
  their	
  actions,	
  an	
  ex-­‐boyfriend,	
  a	
  friend	
  or	
  even	
  the	
  child	
  or	
   teenager	
  would	
  share	
  a	
  intimate	
  picture	
  thought	
  social	
  media	
  and	
   latter,	
  have	
  to	
  deal	
  with	
  the	
  hard	
  consequences	
  that	
  would	
  affect	
   themselves	
  and	
  others.	
  	
  We	
  used	
  Design	
  Thinking	
  to	
  find	
  creative	
  and	
   effective	
  ways	
  to	
  deal	
  with	
  this	
  serious	
  problem	
  involved	
  the	
  student	
   body,	
  their	
  families,	
  school	
  staff	
  and	
  the	
  school	
  community.

2  Selection:	
  	
   The	
  tool	
  I	
  chose	
  to	
  describe	
  is	
  storytelling.	
  The	
  Design	
  Thinking	
  team	
   involved	
  in	
  the	
  project	
  used	
  this	
  tool	
  to	
  understand	
  different	
   viewpoints	
  and	
  perspectives	
  of	
  people	
  who	
  were	
  impacted	
  by	
  the	
   sharing	
  of	
  intimate	
  pictures	
  done	
  by	
  students	
  of	
  an	
  private	
  school	
  in	
   Sao	
  Paulo,	
  Brazil.

3  Application:	
  	
   The	
  Design	
  Thinking	
  team	
  held	
  a	
  couple	
  of	
  meetings	
  to	
  organize	
  the	
   data	
  collection	
  that	
  would	
  happen	
  in	
  the	
  next	
  few	
  weeks.	
  Each	
   member	
  was	
  responsible	
  to	
  use	
  the	
  storytelling	
  tool	
  as	
  they	
  talked	
  to	
   representatives	
  of	
  each	
  of	
  these	
  groups:	
  teachers,	
  students,	
  school	
   staff,	
  parents,	
  and	
  alumni	
  students.	
  The	
  objective	
  was	
  to	
  hear	
   different	
  point	
  of	
  views	
  about	
  the	
  sharing	
  of	
  intimate	
  pictures	
  by	
   school	
  students	
  in	
  social	
  media.	
  During	
  the	
  interviews	
  each	
  person	
   was	
  encouraged	
  to	
  tell	
  stories	
  of	
  the	
  problem	
  and	
  how	
  it	
  made	
  them	
   feel.	
  The	
  questions	
  evolved	
  around:	
  who,	
  where,	
  why	
  and	
  how	
  it	
   made	
  you	
  fell	
  or	
  impacted	
  your	
  life	
  (or	
  the	
  school	
  environment).	
  	
   	
   4 Insight:	
  	
   The	
  storytelling	
  tool	
  helped	
  to	
  Design	
  Thinking	
  team	
  realize	
  that

different	
  members	
  of	
  the	
  school	
  community	
  had	
  varied	
  knowledge	
   and	
  perspectives	
  on	
  the	
  sharing	
  intimate	
  pictures	
  on	
  social	
  media	
   problem.	
  Especially	
  the	
  parents	
  had	
  difficulty	
  to	
  accept	
  that	
  their	
   children	
  could	
  be	
  bully	
  or	
  could	
  be	
  suffering	
  online	
  and	
  face-­‐to-­‐face	
   bullying.	
  Students	
  demonstrated	
  that	
  they	
  have	
  little	
  knowledge	
  on	
   the	
  consequences	
  of	
  sharing	
  intimate	
  pictures	
  in	
  social	
  media.	
  Some	
   students	
  that	
  suffered	
  bullying	
  shared	
  their	
  stories	
  and	
  how	
  difficult	
   it	
  was	
  to	
  deal	
  with	
  the	
  problems,	
  embarrassment	
  and	
  shame	
  that	
   came	
  from	
  it.	
  Teachers	
  also	
  showed	
  that	
  they	
  needed	
  more	
  guidance	
   to	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  orient	
  and	
  guide	
  students	
  on	
  how	
  to	
  behave	
  in	
  online	
   environments	
  (private	
  or	
  public).	
  	
   	
   Approach:	
   The	
  use	
  of	
  the	
  tool	
  was	
  very	
  effective	
  and	
  let	
  the	
  Design	
  Thinking	
   team	
  to	
  understand	
  different	
  perspectives	
  of	
  the	
  problem.	
  It	
  also	
   helped	
  the	
  team	
  to	
  create	
  solutions	
  that	
  were	
  aligned	
  with	
  the	
   desires	
  of	
  the	
  school	
  community	
  but	
  that	
  was	
  also	
  practicable	
  and	
   viable.	
  	
  I	
  don’t	
  think	
  we	
  should	
  do	
  anything	
  different	
  then	
  what	
  we	
   did	
  as	
  we	
  use	
  de	
  storytelling	
  tool.


Peer-­‐graded Assignment : Reflection 1 Challenge : The challenge that we faced at our school was that children and teenagers where sharing intimate pictures with other students through social media such as facebook messenger and whatzzup . The implications of that practice had legal , psychological , social and even moral consequences . Sometimes , without knowing the consequence of their actions , an ex-­‐boyfriend , a friend or even the child or teenager would share a intimate picture thought social media and latter , have to deal with the hard consequences that would affect themselves and others . We used Design Thinking to find creative and effective ways to deal with this serious problem involved the student body , their families , school staff and the school community . 2 Selection : The tool I chose to describe is storytelling . The Design Thinking team involved in the project used this tool to understand different viewpoints and perspectives of people who were impacted by the sharing of intimate pictures done by students of an private school in Sao Paulo , Brazil . 3 Application : The Design Thinking team held a couple of meetings to organize the data collection that would happen in the next few weeks . Each member was responsible to use the storytelling tool as they talked to representatives of each of these groups : teachers , students , school staff , parents , and alumni students . The objective was to hear different point of views about the sharing of intimate pictures by school students in social media . During the interviews each person was encouraged to tell stories of the problem and how it made them feel . The questions evolved around : who , where , why and how it made you fell or impacted your life ( or the school environment ) . 4 Insight : The storytelling tool helped to Design Thinking team realize that different members of the school community had varied knowledge and perspectives on the sharing intimate pictures on social media problem . Especially the parents had difficulty to accept that their children could be bully or could be suffering online and face-­‐to-­‐face bullying . Students demonstrated that they have little knowledge on the consequences of sharing intimate pictures in social media . Some students that suffered bullying shared their stories and how difficult it was to deal with the problems , embarrassment and shame that came from it . Teachers also showed that they needed more guidance to be able to orient and guide students on how to behave in online environments ( private or public ) . Approach : The use of the tool was very effective and let the Design Thinking team to understand different perspectives of the problem . It also helped the team to create solutions that were aligned with the desires of the school community but that was also practicable and viable . I do n’t think we should do anything different then what we did as we use de storytelling tool .
