Robotics 8A

  • Continue work on your Scratch assignments. Remember that no matter which option you choose your work is due on Thursday, March 20.

Robotics 8B

  • If you have not already done so please make sure that you come to class with your planning/design completed so that your group can discuss it with me and then you can start building. This is due on Monday, March 17.
  • We only have two classes left so there is going to need to be some serious focus.

Robotics 8C

  • Today we started working on our final project. You can design anything you want including, rooms, buildings, products, or pretty much anything you can think of. Remember that this is your final project so you do want to show off. Your design needs to show the proper use of the following tools or skills:
    • Line tool
    • Freehand tool
    • Arc tool
    • Rectangle tool
    • Circle tool
    • Push/Pull tool
    • Follow Me tool
    • 3D Text tool
    • Text tool
    • Push/Pull an arc
    • Push/Pull a rectangle
    • Push/Pull a circle
  • Please make sure to label one example of how you used each of these tools or skills in your design.
  • Your design should also be aesthetically pleasing and all of the  components should look like they belong / fit together.

Robotics 9

  • Remember, to hand in any digital work please put it in the folder that you created and shared with me in Google Drive. If you do not remember how to do this please check older posts as I have gone over it a number of times in class and also posted it on the blog.
  • We began or continued working on the first 13 HTML tutorials in Codecademy. Remember that you can signup / login with your CBE Google Accounts. You will be assessed on this work on the following days:
    • 9A – Friday, March 14
    • 9B – Monday, March 17
    • 9C – Tuesday, March 18
  • I have shown some classes the Mozilla X-Ray Goggles that allows you to look into and modify code on websites. A cool tool that you may be interested in playing around with. You may also want to check out Kompozer which is basically a free version of Dream Weaver. If you enjoyed Scratch try Alice as it works in the same way but with a 3D environment and is much more involved..
