Week 5 - DCL - Collaborative, Constructionist and Constructivist

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

(adding to knowledge)
