Playing around in Scratch... 11/9

Well to start off I did enjoy making this project, even though I think it took me about 3 hours to get it done. I found it hard to put the project together, I could not find a video that really showed me how or what to do. After playing around with it for a 1 or so, I really started to get the a hang of it. Then I was going to delete one part and ending up deleting a whole section, I have never wanted to throw my computer more than ever. So after taking a break I sat back down and got it done. Over all I am happy with how it turned out. I did find it really hard to get the timing done just right....

After I had done my project, I went into my dyad placement and they had just read a time article on coding and were given a website that allowed them to practice beginning coding. I really like this website, it took them step by step on how to code. It also used the Angry birds so it was of interest to the student. They worked in pairs, which worked out really well, they learned how to bounce ideas off one another, and how to take turns. They did the 20 level lesson over two days, they were so engrossed in the program that it was really hard for them to stop and have to go to other lessons.
