For this module after I met with Jeremy and thought about a lot of things, I reworked quite a few things. I had narrowed down my topic quite a bit and I didn’t have really good justification for doing so. So I went and spoke with teachers in core subject areas and explained what I was doing. After speaking with them and doing a bit more research I have decided to stick with 9th grade students, since incorporating it into all of high school should be a process. Students are new and not set in their ways yet so it is easier to get them on board with something new first. Starting with 9th graders will give them an opportunity to practice, and then when those ninth graders move onto 10th it could be incorporated into 10th grade classes, and so on and so forth. The science teachers thought I would be a great addition to their content area and so I have decided to include them along with social studies, and English. After discussing how the design process could be used in math, there are a few areas where it could be incorporated, but the math teachers felt that it might not be as good of a fit for their courses. However, I am still on the fence because I could incorporate them because it may only help a handful of students with understanding, but a handful is better than nothing. 
I also updated insights and deliverables since I did not do the deliverable part correctly last module. Not sure how I misinterpreted this but, I did maybe my brain is just too tired. I also changed one of my keywords from engaging to clarity and added quite a few more pulls to each board. I feel like I have a well rounded set of pulls that I can look to and create a dynamic video presentation. I am also really happy that I used After Effects in a large capacity last semester so I have a pretty good idea what I can do and how to do it for my video this semester.
