Five classes: some standard, some alt.
We did pencilcode.net, tinkercad.com, code.org, and chrome music lab’s Song Maker app. Everyone was on task and on target. 🙂

The introduction of pencilcode.net to students who had finished taking a test. We tinkered with existing code and made a beautiful spirograph-style pattern.

This class of five students familiarized themselves with arrow commands: move forward, turn left, and turn right. They are made of paper, though I really should laminate them.
This was used to introduce the beebot emulator website, which also uses arrows to command the beebot. But first, I modeled the beebot using Notebook software.
The students took turns using my bluetooth touch pad to command the beebot.

This class of students worked together on the smartboard to solve the Foos puzzles.
We all got stuck on one, and even the paras gave it a try. We had to make use of the Repeat block and we could not figure it out.
To be continued next week!

Second time I am seeing the class this week. First time I pretended to be a robot and they programmed me to get to the lightswitch in the doorway…move forward x number of steps, turn left, turn right.
This time i had paper cutouts of robots and paper arrows for forward, turn left, turn right.
After showing the papers, i asked the kids if they had seen the website. They all said NO. So we went to the website on the smart board.
(FYI ..I was using a bluetooth touchpad to control the smartboard, to Wow effect from the students. They all wanted a try)
We went to beebot emulator website (beebot.terrapinlogo.com) on the smartboard. I demonstrated how it works. I showed a couple of moves using the blank card mat, then had two students come up to command the beebot using the alphabet mat.
Then they all went to the computers to do their own explorations and programming.
One student came up to code the beebot travelling to the girl’s room on the school mat.

Students had to take an online ELA test in the computer lab.
After the test, they relaxed with defly.io, 1v1.lol, coolmathgames.com, and typingclub.com.

Would you just look at these photos? Headphones stored nicely; students working with google sheets and pixel art; some code.org dance party; flippity.net on the iPad to keep things random; and a bit o’ Mr. Doob javascript fun at the end!
Last one:
Shout out to teacher Peter Wang for making it look easy!
