Provocation

Last week we started our unit on technology by doing a special rotation. First they divided us into three rotation groups then they sent us off to our first activity. Our first activity was coding. In the coding rotation we learnt how to create and debug algorithms of code. In our next rotation we used pencil and paper to write about our best camp experience . Next we wrote out the same thing on an iPad using pictures and emojis. In this activity I learnt that technology opened up many new ways to communicate ideas and beliefs. On our final activity we played around with spheros. It was very fun and we learnt about spheros being devices used to communicate and how they are controlled by the user or owner. In conclusion I learnt that technology is not just made to entertain but built to communicate or share a purpose.
