Here are some of my takeaways from today.
How we share can be very different. The mode of sharing has changed but not the connection we make when we share.
How we share limits the ability of who hears or sees what we do.
As the digital has come into our life the sharing has become easier. The audience has the choice if they want to read or listen to your work.
Blogger is the choice even though it is not the flashest but it has all the capabilities that we need. Blogger is a great place to teach our young people to be cybersmart. Blogger as secure and a safe place to be in an online environment.
Share to learn gives the students feedback and so the learning can keep on going and can support accelerate the learning outcomes.
Computational Thinking
Left side is when you look at instagram. Right side is when you build instagram.
Binary
You need to fill up the box completely. You can't have a box that is not filled.
I have never seen this before and I really struggles with it to start with but once I got my head around it. I am going to have a go with this in my class this week to see how they go.
Coding
Comput IT - Toxic Code: This is great for when you have been doing the hour of code in your class.
Playdough, Tin foil, and paint can al be used to support conceptual thinking and the new curriculum. Make sure you think about what you will need before spending lots of money. I like the idea that if you get the students to pay for the equipment (less than $8) then they get to take the equipment home.
3D Pen use PLA for the fill. Masking tape is a the best way to use the pen on so that it makes it easier to get off.
Using scratch was great today. It was nice to sit through a lesson as I am slowly learning about it but cannot keep up with the kids and what they know. I am going to try this with my class this week.
I am just putting this in so that I remember this make of Robot.
Another DFI done and a brain filled with information again!
What an amazing blog Mel, filled with so much information. It is so reassuring to hear that we have shared since time began and how far and quickly we can now share in a digital world. Kawana certainly showed us some wonderful inexpensive ways we can incorporate IT in the classroom. You were not the only one who left with a brain filled with information!
