MakerSpace Intro

 MakerSpace:

TEKS:

K.13C - identify and record the changes from seed, seedling, plant, flower, and fruit in a simple plant life cycle.

Objective:

The students will identify the changes through the plant life cycle and create a plant cycle digital art.

ISTE Standards:

1.d Develop resilience and perseverance when approaching CS and CT learning experiences, build comfort with ambiguity and open-ended problems, and see failure as an opportunity to learn and innovate.

3.a Model and learn with students how to formulate computational solutions to problems and how to give and receive actionable feedback.

3.c Plan collaboratively with other educators to create learning activities that cross disciplines to strengthen student understanding of CT and CS concepts, transfer application of knowledge in new contexts. 

How ISTE Standards Met:

This activity can't be done wrong and has the ability to erase so students are able to be comfortable exploring with Canva knowing they can always erase and add. My partner and I can model for students how to erase when they need a solution. My partner and I collaborated with Metro E with their TEKS to strengthen their learning with the plant cycle providing technology. 

Idea:

Because they are in Kinder I wanted to use digital art. I will have students use Canva and then use the whiteboard in Canva to create digital art of the plant cycle.

    Hi Isabella! Great ideas. I believe your activities align well with the TEK and standards you chose. The students will enjoy the computer activities. I believe having a good balance between having the students listen to the content and then the students having some hands on experience is very effective. Keep up the great work!

  Isabella Soriano Drone Blocks Simulation Blog -Which specific simulation tutorials were the most interesting to you? The code that allows the drone to flip 5 times was most interesting to me. Using the loop at 5 and having the drone go forward, backward, left, right, and then landing was the most interesting code my partner and I did. -How did you try to alter the lines of code for what effects? I believe altering the loop by changing the number for the drone to repeat that many times. Altering how far the drone goes by altering the inches number. -What can you imagine for an engaging 5-10 minute simulator experience that encourages experimentation with lines of code?  Having the students create a code to spin 3 times would be a 5-10 minute simulator experience.  Vocabulary terms: Blocks - a structure of codes grouped together. Codes - a system created. Hover - code created to hover in a place. Loop - repeat.  Yaw - rotation around a virtual axis.  Variables -...
