Provocation
Last week we got into three rotational groups to learn about different types of technology. In coding we learnt about debugging and algorithms. Debugging is fixing errors and algorithms are are instructions to complete a task. In Spheros I found out that spheros are controlled by a user and needs a device to communicate. Lastly we wrote about camp and discussed if pen and paper are are types of technologies.
i learnt that technology is not just a divice but build to communicate a purpose
Spheros was my favourite because I loved coding the Sphero and telling it where to move.
Drones Mr Ivet
Today Mr Ivet came into year 5 to discuss drone technology. I found out drones can display many purposes.
Drone purposes
- rescue people
- google maps
- farmers can use to herd cattle
- tall building safety test
- real estate photos
- film making
Disadvantages
- can disrupt air space
- invade air space.
- can pollute/ break
- can be dangerous
I loved seeing Mr Ivet fly the drone and seeing all the features it had.
