START A BIT > Learning Packages > LP2415: 4 Weeks Refreshing Package, 24w15 > This page
Key knowledge: KB006: Digital Input/Output
Button as typical digital signal inputer
Conditional logic in programming, combined conditions judgement
Very active makers, good passions!
Some students are very fast doing the projects, and with a good result
Very good discussions with some active learners
Less document presentations, but more time for projects making, this looked good practice to keep good interest, and also keeping some younger students awake with good energy
Still obvious unbalanced competence, some slow runners are still struggling to get started, needed more support and guidance
Need to think about how to better engage the fast-runners, they sometimes looked a little bored, needed more challenges
102 Kr: Tutor parking, left later than usual, due to extended discussions with the students
26 + 26 + 19.9 Kr: Fika donuts, drinks
20 Kr per student: Compensate the consuming cost of tools and materials for projects (like printed paper, stationery, cables, batteries, fragile components, etc.)
10:05-10:20: Check-in and recap + knowledge input
Any interesting own exploration and work to share?
Recap digital output, and new knowledge input for digital input: KB006: Digital Input/Output
PJ002: External Button with Micro:bit requirements, result demo
And demo the challenging project to make controllable blinking LED
10:20-11:10: Helping homework, and doing PJ002, Fika is also included flexibly here
In actual situation, the students had already starting doing the PJ002
A few fast students had starting trying the blinking LED
Fika is offered during the making
11:15-11:50:
Continued making, more students started makeing the controllable blinking LED
Students mutal helping and tutor helping happened on the way
Many interesting discussions
10:05-10:25: Check-in and recap + knowledge input
5': Any interesting own exploration and work to share?
20': Recap digital output, and new knowledge input for digital input: KB006: Digital Input/Output
10': Presentation, and group work of voltage measurement for digital signal input
5': PJ002: External Button with Micro:bit requirements, result demo
5': A very quick intro for variables and functions? So the students feel that it's already told, but not a future knwoledge that we don't know at all now
10:25-10:55: Demo and/or do homework projects, encourage mutual help and assistance, presentation and share
30': Mutual help for homework PJ011: Traffic Lights in Fixed Schedule, Felix - Leo, how about others?
10'+10'+10': At the same time, random pick 2-3 students (especially those who are experienced and quick doers, they might have nothing to do on hands, then make them busy with presentations and tech-and-tell) to demo and explain how they make the homework, what findings, what trouble met, how to analyze and fix? Any further idea of exploration basing on this?
For those students don't want to be part of this, and have not much to do, it's OK to take challenge assignments, or early making of PJ002
10:55-11:10: Fika and flexible making
20': fika break
Flexible for those who already want to start making PJ002, or anything that they want to explore by own
11:15-11:55:
For beginners: PJ002: External Button with Micro:bit
For challengers:
PJ006: Same 1 Button to On/Off External LED with Micro:bit, can use built-in button or external button
Optional: PJ003: External LED + Button with Micro:bit challenge 2, same button to on/off LED
PJ010: Rain Drops Animation - must use functions!
11:55-12:00: Homework assignment
For beginners: Wire game! Use the ready-made base, and program to use it!
For all: PJ006: Same 1 Button to On/Off External LED with Micro:bit, can use built-in button or external button
Optional: PJ010: Rain Drops Animation - must use functions!
