January 9, 10, & 13

I apologize for missing the first three days of school this year but I was at home with my wife and new son Troy Robert Louis Lang. Please make sure to come and talk to me if you have any questions about what happened while I was away.

I have emailed students, and parents of students, who are missing multiple assignments or who are struggling with their learning in robotics. If this is you I recommend that you come and talk to me as soon as possible so we can figure things out before the end of the term.

Robotics 8A

  • Today you started working on a Scratch assignment that is all about you. The purpose of this is to have you start figuring out some of the tools. Below are the criteria for this. You will be given more time next class and I will also show you how to share it with me.
    • At least 3 things about yourself
    • At least one clickable thing
    • An image of yourself
    • At least one movement
    • At least one custom sprite or background
    • At least one sound
    • Another way of interacting with your presentation

Robotics 8B

  • We continued to work on the NXT Checklist. I was impressed by the troubleshooting that many of you were showing. Keep up the great work.

Robotics 8C

  • Please make sure you hand in your duplicate project as it was due last week. Remember to name your file so that it makes sense and to the upload it to your Google Drive folder that you have shared with me.
  • Today many of you began working on your personal accessory item project. Since there are not many days left you need to decide how much time you can dedicate to this and then also your final project.

Robotics 9

  • Remember that you get out of a class what you put in to it.
  • Please make sure to be updating your website with your appraisal / reflection as I will be assessing them shortly.
  • Once your group has completed a project please do a final appraisal that is a reflection of the entire project.
    • From here your group may design / plan a new project that you can work on until the end of the term.
  • We only have 3 more classes left to work on our projects before the end of the term so please stay focused.
