I am about to embark on the very first of my user testing and focus groups. Up until now it's been friends, professors and their various children. This is both exciting and kind of scary. It's where I will figure out all the kinks with my thesis and then work them out.
Truth is, I can't do much more until I've officially tested. The Itinerary is as follows:
Tuesday (1pm to 3 pm) Mommy and Me Gym, YMCA on 14 and 2nd Ave
Wednesday (8 am to 2 pm) IRB Early Learning Center, Lexington School for the Deaf
Thursday (8 am to 3 pm) IRB Early Learning Center and Preschool, Lexington School for the Deaf
Friday (3 pm to 5 pm) Speech and Occupational Therapy, Comprehensive Learning Center
To prepare for this, I've made business cards with my thesis logo as well as about a thousand blue frosted cookies (I think blue is my general color palette)
Also, this whole focus group research will not only legitimize my thesis but prompt me to write more about it on this blog.
Best, Michael
