Week 1

provocation

 


The first rotation was iPad vs paper and pencil.We had to write about our favourite time at camp  and type.We all agreed that its easier to type then write.

 

 

 

The second rotation was coding and we had to code a bird to jump on a pig.If we made a mistake we had to debug it and use a different algorithm to make the bird jump on the pig to complete the level.

 

the final rotation was playing with spheros and we learnt we could communicate with the spheros with the iPads and we could move them around.You can use different types of coding to move the spheros around.One type of coding was when you would draw a shape and the Sphero would trace that shape.The second way was when you would use a joystick on your iPad to move it  around.
