Week 5 - DCL ( Scratch)
Computational thinking….
Computational Thinking (CT) is a process that generalises a solution to open ended problems. Open-ended problems encourage full, meaningful answers based on multiple variables, which require using decomposition, data representation, generalisation, modelling, and algorithms found in Computational Thinking.
Workshop task: Work collaboratively to use computer coding and electronics to create your own personalised musical instrument
We used scratch to create music.
Benefits - Links with Technology, Music, Collaborating, creative. Building an electronic instrument.
Design and Model
So then we had to evaluate how our given task worked??
Collaborative - Yes, working together,Planning together to solve and plan (smaller groups)
Constructionist - learn by doing then there ( highlight strengths for students...
Constructivist - is using knowledge to help you construct new knowledge ( how to utilise the resource
