TF Digital Tech Literacy: SCRATCH PROGRAMMING

Introduction

Digital Literacy Class: We are going to learn about so many incredible ways to be creative, collaborative, and to communicate. We will focus on computer skills and applications. Some topics you already know about, and you will know better, and other topics and applications will be new to you! Either way, we will work together to find the ones you are able to use best. This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the material we will cover. - Mr. S

SCRATCH PROGRAMMING - ALL CLASSES

ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE

(SEE SPECIFIC PROJECT OBJECTIVES BELOW)

Students (TEMPLE) will give MyBio Presentations to class for credit.

Students (ALL CLASSES) will advance their knowledge of computer programming experiences by completing a short, digital animation project online and sharing it with fellow classmates.

STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!

STUDENTS MUST START BY READING ALL DIRECTIONS ON CLASS WEBSITE!

Students (TEMPLE) will finish creating and sharing the 10-slide presentations about themselves in Google Drive. They will then give the presentations in class to their peers.

Students (ALL CLASSES) will follow online instructions to complete a digital animation programming project in SCRATCH. Peer mentoring and other supports will ensure that all students have access to information and programming tools.

ALL STUDENTS:

WE WILL WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO TOGETHER IN CLASS:

https://vimeo.com/80961102

Please direct your computers to the following website:

http://scratch.mit.edu/

Today, using the tools provided online, you will learn to program an animated cartoon. You must create an account (USE YOUR CROSSROADS EMAIL ADDRESS) on the website above. Once created, go to the "Try It Out" link and work through each learning level listed. You will learn to create a digital animation sequence. The programming is actually writing "JAVA-Script", but you are creating it with BLOCKLEY Visual Programming Language. You will work to create the following:

ONCE YOU HAVE CREATED AN ACCOUNT, CLICK THE "HELP" LINK AND THEN USE THE "STEP BY STEP INTRO" TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE SITE TO CREATE DIGITAL ANIMATIONS.

Today's Objectives:

Students
will be able to state what Scratch is

Students
will be able to identify main parts of Scratch

Students
will be able to put together a short Scratch animation

Activity:

Create a Scratch animated clip at least 20
seconds long.

The clip needs to include

At
least 2 Sprites

A
creative background

When
clicked start

Motion

Sounds

Loops

When Complete:

You must "share" the link to your animation by emailing the link to Mr. S for credit AND posting it to the COMMENT section of the Google+ Community Page (Crossroads 2014-2015).

Relax and enjoy this project. You will have today and tomorrow to work on it.

Overall Academic Class Standards

SELF-ASSESSMENTS

Student Self-Assessments refer to training students to evaluate themselves, and their work, for the purpose of improving outcomes. To become capable evaluators of their work, students must have:

- a clear target (goal)

- the opportunity to help create definitions of the quality of work.

- the opportunity to correct, or self-adjust, their work before turning it in.

Students are also prompted to reflect and evaluate strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement. These skills will allow for planning, improvement, goal-setting, and reflection. Emphasis will be placed on integration of previous learning across the school curriculum.

ISTE 2. Communication and Collaboration

Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others:

a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media

b. Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats

3. Research and Information Fluency

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information:

a. Plan strategies to guide inquiry

b. Locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media

General Computer-Based / Project Based Classroom Standards Met:

PA Common Core 8.5.6-8G: Integrate visual information (e.G. charts, graphs, maps, video, etc.) with other information in print or digital format.

ISTE 3.3A: Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information, and other resources, for intellectual and other pursuits.

ISTE 3.3D: Students build knowledge by actively exploring real world issues and problems, developing ideas, and pursuing answers and solutions.

CSTA Collaboration 1: Apply productivity/multimedia tools, and peripherals, to a group collaboration and support learning throughout the curriculum.

CSTA CPP1: Use advanced tools to create digital artifacts.

PA CEW Standards Met

PA 13.1.8A Career Awareness and Preparation

Relate careers to individual interest, abilities, and aptitudes.

PA 13.1.8G Create an individualized career plan including, but not limited to Assessments, Career Goals, individual interests and abilities, and Training/Education requirements.
