Evoke
Get the basic Lego Robotics robot completed and brought to class, which means following the manual through page 23. I strongly encourage you to put the robot in a separate bag so that when parts fall off you've got them in easy place to find and reattach them. An old backpack, large purse or other container with a zipper and big enough to hold the completed robot is ideal. If you need to borrow something I've got some old shoulder bags, contact me.
Add relevant Web links to the Powerpoint and Blog posting created and submitted for the last chapter. See the related assignment submission links in Blackboard.
Complete the introduction to computer programming using the Web Turtle web site and submit the assignment in Blackboard.
IN CLASS NEXT WEEK. What is a team? Read/explore how this "problem finding" system expands the wonderweb idea. How does it work? Q2A: Building on the Wonder Web In-class activity. - Question2Answer site: register and study. The site extends the WonderWall idea to the digital universe, with the potential to connect classrooms to the community outside their walls. Homework: ask a question related to chapter two. We are going to put a link to a question of yours at in a posting at your blog site. In class teams will work on responding to each other's questions (where possible).
