The next module is about: How to programme machines. I'm curious about this subject. First I was asked to think of how proud I am at my school.: I work in a small school so everybody knows eachother. I get a warm feeling when I think of my students. They are willing to learn and some of them are really curious. I love to work there.
4.1 Coding - getting started.
My contribution to the padlet: "I'm proud of being dutch like Neelie Kroes is! I agree with the statement although I think teachers should learn how to teach coding to students. In the Netherlands it will depend of your teacher whether you get lessons in coding. "
4.2 Coding - Pair programming
I never used coding in the classroom, let alone pair programming. I will try this in the future.
4.3 Coding - Links to other subjects
I would love to link coding to my subject. I really don't know how to realize it.
4.4 App develop - Getting started
There are pretty good resources in this part of the module. I will definitely look into the background information. I feel like I should know more of this stuff before I let my students try. This is not good. They should teach me!
My contribution: "What about an app for schedule your homework. When students are owner of their own agenda the might be more motivated to do their homework"
4.5 App develop - Touch Develop
I do see this happen in my future classroom. All I have to do is getting started myself.
4.6 Educational robotics - introduction
I believe that the use of educational robotics will improve student skills. I would like to combine educational robotics with geography but I don't know how. (this seems to be the excuse lately. I don't want it do be an excuse because I don't like it to say when I don't know how to do stuff. I get an unaesy feeling.)
4.7 Educational robotics - Getting started activities
In our school we have Ozobot. Unfortunatly I haven't used it yet. I will do!
4.8 Internet of things
This is a subject we really need to think about. Discussing with our students. Actually I have no opion yet. This episode of the Dutch television show Tegenlicht make me think of it: http://tegenlicht.vpro.nl/afleveringen/2011-2012/Smart-City-UnLtd-.html It is about smart cities.
4.9 Live Webinar - Computational thinking
It was really instructive to see the captured webinar.
