I brought my cellphone battery charger
to the classroom. I would like to use this to explore the following aspects:
the object itself, personal connection to the carrier/artist, and the symbolism
that can be created based on the previous two aspects. If I were to teach a
class, first, I would ask students to describe the object they brought to
classroom and describe the function and physicality of it. That is important
because students need to understand the properties, the design, and the
function of this invention. Secondly, I would have the students to think about
their personal relationship with this technology piece to establish the meaning
and content. Lastly, I would ask students to describe what the technology piece
symbolize to them. Students can answer this based on their relationship with
the device in terms of design, social connotation, and the practical use of
this. Thus feelings and attitude would arise. I hope from these aspects
students would think about this device critically in their own ways.
