What a great idea! Probably the most important thing is to make the discussions relatable to the kids. Talk about the design of devices and websites they use (iPods, cell phones, MySpace, etc.). Get them thinking about what aspects they like or don't like and exploring the reasons why. Maybe do group exercises where the kids have an opportunity to design something for the school, like a homework depository, or other features on the school intranet. Perhaps a senior project could be to create an online yearbook? Maybe use Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" as reading material to get the wheels turning? Good luck and let us know what they end up doing.
