Software and Heritage, Explored

1. One Person Will Volunteer To Guess
2. Everyone else will agree on a word to act out.
3. The volunteer will have 3 tries to guess what the word is.
4. If the guesser gets it right, they get to choose what the next word is and someone else volunteers to guess.

Presenting To Each Other

1. Students will be split up into groups of two.
2. You will speak to each other about your takes on a speculative computer with each partner having 5 minutes or so. Here are some points you can talk about:
• What would you like to add to it?
• What doesn’t feel entirely done at the moment?
• How did you incorporate the reading and video from last week?
• If one of you did not read or watch it ask your partner to summarize, and collaborate on how the computer could be changed with the material in mind.
• If both of you did not read or watch, please take the moment to read Coding Is Not The new Literacy, and talk through how each of your computers could change.
3. Be sure to jot down whatever feedback is being given to each person's computers during the time alloted into this Google Slide.
4. After 10 minutes, the breakout rooms will be recreated and you'll be partnered with someone different to do the same thing.

Class Discussion

1. We will reconvene into a larger group.
• Everyone will have 5 minutes to submit three points that came up during the feedback session via our Zoom Chat.
• It should be one idea per message!
2. We'll talk through some of the points in the chat as a class.

All the examples show software being bent and changed towards the conceptual ideas that the artists and programmers want to take it. However, creativity exists everywhere

Bending Software To You

1. You will be assigned into groups and given one of the following office suite programs to use as an initial creative outlet:
1. Google Docs
2. Google Slides
3. Google Sheets
4. Google Forms
2. As a group, you'll take 5 minutes to survey the software you've been assigned and collaborate to try and figure out the extent of your program.
3. Here are some guiding questions to help you think through repurposing the software you've been given:
• What are the options of the software? What are you able to edit?
• Does it let you draw? Change colors? Change styling?
• How can its options be used for artistic expression? Bend the Software to your interests! (i.e turning a phone tree into a listen-and-dial horror game)

Share Out

1. Each group will share out what they did for their reinterpretation of their stories.

1. Instructor will introduce homework and weekly materials for students to view.
2. If there's any time left over, students will be asked to start reviewing their weekly materials.
