My first three weeks saw me taking on a lead developer role in the creation of My Voice for St Michaels School. It was a great project to dive straight in to. Working with the children in workshops, getting them involved in designing and developing the project was a great opportunity, and something we will look at doing more in the future. I think a finished project is always more of a success if the client has more involvement in its development – especially when designing for children. It was also a great opportunity to get pupils visiting Ideonic HQ and seeing what we do and how we do it. The project was a great success, and was well received from the school, pupils, and Creative Partnerships.

Since, i’ve been developing other projects, learning all about Adobe Flex, and myself along with Cora, and Stuart from Fluid Pixel have also been involved in several game making workshops – i’ll talk more about this some time soon! I’m also looking at ways to improve the Ideonic website; you should see some new features and some changes in the near future. One new feature is the Our Team section, with a little insight to the people behind Ideonic.

We will all be contributing more to the website, so keep an eye on our blog or simply bookmark our RSS feed to see what we’re up too :-) .

Jeremiah suggested that all of the Ideonic team members should start blogging, so I thought I will take up this opportunity to blog about what I did recently on one of the Ideonic project.

myvoicescreen grab copyWe recently finished a project called MyVoice which involved running workshops with the students in one of the local school, St Michael’s in Billingham. The concept behind the game is to allow pupils to voice their ideas/opinions on the school, freely and easily on a shared website. It was great working with the students when we were brain storming and throwing ideas around – it amazed me how much they knew about digital technologies! They had no problem coming up with feasible (and also ambitious) features to add to the project. We took the finished product to the school and I got to see what the students thought of it, it was great to see our product being used in the classroom, and the students were definitely good game testers! I’ve never seen anyone clicking the same icon so many times in one go.

I really enjoyed working on this product and by the looks of things it won’t be long till I’m in another class room working with more enthusiastic young people. So that’s it for my first blog post! I’m sure it won’t be too long till my next post since I’m involved in many exciting projects at Ideonic!
