Let’s take a peek at their site and see what we could do.
A very interesting read about how ‘not’ to help: When Helping Hurts

A new well is being constructed for a community in Sierra Leone. See what access to clean, safe water means to this community. Full report, maps and photos!

Questions you have?
Your Task:
Test the Question – Is it faster/quicker/shorter to cut through the Learning Commons than to go around the proper way?
Next Task:
What do you need for this new experiment?
Final task: Bring all your media together into one file (slideshow, iMovie etc…)
Success Criteria:
Are all of the elements (pics/clips) necessary? Is the purpose clear for including each clip/pic ?
Have you used titles/narration to clearly explain your ideas and thinking?
Did you create any music for a video? (You are not allowed to use stock music anymore, you must create your own!)
Did you use multiple applications to bring your media together? I see iMovie, shadow puppet, google slides, camera roll etc…
Did you answer the question?
A Vex Robotics Challenge:
Navigate the Vex Field by coding your Robot.
The winner will complete this course in the shortest amount of time.
You have 3 minutes to look at/take a picture/take a measurement of the field. You will then return to class with your partner and plan the fastest route. Discussion and debate is important. How can you justify and explain which route will be the fastest?
You will be successful if:
I found a creature in my basement! Don’t worry it is harmless… I think. But I am having trouble describing it.
Here it is:
How would you describe this thing? Think about what you see and write 6 descriptive words.
I kept investigating though and found something interesting, Watch.
Now, can you write a descriptive paragraph telling us what you see. Try and think of your five senses to enhance the the descriptive value of your paragraph.
Last task:
We are going to use GarageBand to give this video a soundtrack. Let’s have a brief tutorial with the app first….
En français! Nous allons participer en une Chasse au Trèsor au Terrain de Brooke Central. En utilisant la camera sur votre iPad tu dois chercher:
Vous avez 20 minutes pour cherchez ces images. Tu recevras 2 pointes pour chaque image mais 4 pointes pour une image unique pour la classe.
Bonne Chance!
Lots of things to try today/tomorrow:
You can continue to code with modkit, but if you are simply trying to show a shape you can also use Scratch (not ipad friendly) or try Snap! (iPad Friendly Woot Woot!)
2. Guess the Shape? Code the shape for your Robot. Record your work.
3. Code your own shape and challenge someone else to Visualize/Verbalize and Verify it. Record your results.
4. Code a pentamino (tricky) and try to create a pattern design. Record your results.
5. Create a tessellation (Good luck to you!) Pen down on Scratch/Snap will be very helpful here.
6. Visit this Scratch page and see if you can use it to help you tile a plane with a tessellation. Scratch Tesselation
