Discussion debriefing
(+) creative grouping, movement around the room, clear voices, didnt project their ideas, allowed time for discussion, demo'ed how to navigate to the prezi show, set a time limit, had wrtten expectations and prompts to accompany auditory directions.
(-) Assign areas for specific groups to meet, deeper commentary(reaction) to discussion responces but at the same time they were against time.
DESIGNING A SCRATCH IRLO
What are the neccassary steps?
At home install SCRATCH.
At school, go to the "having trouble" and get the winscratch zip folder, download to documents, right click winscratch 1.4 and "extract" then go into documents, open scratch(cat face logo).
Step1 create ALL of the objects ("sprites")that will be needed for the activity, even if you dont need them right away. pictures text and all the gadgets.
2. background, many options.
3. Start thinking like a programer. built scripts, they describe how different sprites act.
every script begins with a trigger, means "when i do this, something will happen".
there are A LOT OF resources, including jeff, that will help me with creating my Scratch.
