"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity." - Ellen Parr, author.
- having a strong desire to learn something new.
- wondering why certain things are so.
Curiosity is the first step towards learning something new. You start to wonder, and hmmm... before you know it, your curiosity has you hooked. It gets you discovering more about everything -- from knowing about yourself and the world close to you, to knowing about times long ago and far off galaxies.
So what do you want to know? What more could you learn about your favorite animal? What do you want to know about an author or athlete you really admire? How does a photo or email message travel over the Internet? What will a car look like 20 years from now? Develop the curiosity skill by pondering the why, where, what, when, how, and if about the things that interest you. Ask questions and be eager to find the answers.
For this project you will be using an app called Doodlecast. Doodlecast is a unique drawing app that records your voice as you draw. Play back your drawing and export it to share with friends and family.
For many people, learning is easier when they can visually experience something about the subject. How can you make a one page Dooglecast explaining how your curiosity led you to inquire about a new subject?
1) Watch the tutorial to Doodlecast in the Learn section above.
2) Decide on something to make a Doodlecast about. If you can't think of anything, take a look at The Big Book of Why book.
3) Watch the Doodlecast Tutorial below.
4) Practice your demonstration a few times in Doodlecast.
5) Start your Doodlecast with "Today I want to tell you about the time my curiosity lead me to inquire about something new..." Record your demonstratration in Doodlecast. Redo if needed.
6) Save your Doodlecast to your Camera Roll.
