36 3 POST-BRAINSTORM Sort & Select • Once you have completed three rounds of brainstorming (one for each HMW question), take a few minutes and sort the ideas you have generated into groups. The HMW questions don’t matter any more - you can group one idea from question #1 with another idea from question #3. • Look for patterns and similar ideas to group. Think about kinds of ideas: events, people, format (i.e. games, the internet, etc.). You are looking for thematic similarity not identical matches. • Once the ideas have been sorted, give everyone three circular stickers. Each sticker represents a vote. Each person gets three votes based on the following crite- ria: - Most likely to delight the stakeholder (one vote) - Most likely to succeed at improving holistic learning outcomes (one vote) - Most likely to create learning opportunities (one vote) • Have everyone stick their circular sticker on a specific post-it, not just a group. • Once everyone has voted, take a step back and identify the three ideas with the highest number of votes. • Take down those three ideas as well as the post-its that are clustered around those ideas. You will transfer these ideas into the Idea Selection page of the toolkit. BRAINSTORMING TIPS • Keep it high energy - play music and have everyone stand if possible. • Practice being in an open-minded, optimistic mindset - we can do anything! • Be sure that every idea is written down, said aloud and stuck to the wall. • Refer to the Rules of Brainstorming if you get off-track. Prepare to Brainstorm Instructions: Now that you have explored and defined the problem, you are ready to brainstorm. Brainstorming is an active, collaborative process that will not be completed in this toolkit, but rather on the wall in your space. Use the guidelines below to help your team generate potential solutions to the problem you identified. If you do not have adequate wall space, you can collect ideas in this toolkit.
