Right or wrong?
The code I have written on my laptop/PC is directly run in the target mini-computer(Micro:bit)Right or wrong?
In the MakeCode programming for Micro:bit, I can use 2 Forever blocks at the same timeRight or wrong?
In the MakeCode programming for Micro:bit, we must always have On-start block and Forever block0.5 seconds = __?__ milliseconds
A Brief Reflection
A Brief Reflection
Achievements & Celebrations
Achievements & Celebrations
Good starting with many new students!
Good starting with new way of learning, good preparation.
Good experience using Google Classroom for work instruction and collecting the work results -> But the students need to get familiar with the tool and our way of learning in more practice, this session was not so smooth, but we saw good opportunity to bring up good value from the digital learning tools
Findings & Improvements
Findings & Improvements
Challenging learning progress with online course... hard to know how much the students can follow -> But the Google Classroom work assignment system seemed to be a very good tool to help us in good order and get hints of the students' work
Small issue with the tutor's laptop, camera was not working -> fixed afterwards
Unexpected much longer time for new students to try submitting classwork to Google Classroom, even though they had experience from the local school's education system with Google tools -> We created a detailed guide How to Join Google Classroom and Submit Homework afterwards.
Free version of Google Classroom has restriction for exact 1-hour meeting, this time-boxed our course, it's good to not overuse time, but bad to not be able to extend discussion. We will keep this for now, let's see what more to find and how much need to change.
2 students couldn't join in time, we sill want to support them for a good starting... -> we planned a 2nd run of this session for them 25w20 Plan & Log - Session 1 (2nd Run), LP2520.B
Planned too much content, must keep focused and short in further planning. The overloaded contents from this session will be moved to future sessions.
Costs
Costs
This is a log as information for today, no need to pay now. We will sum up all the costs to share after finishing the whole Learning Package.
Here is a guideline of cost/fee when learning with us.
4 students participated
The variable costs to share: 0 Kr
0 Kr: No snack this for online course
0 Kr: No tutor parking for online course
The fixed consuming materials costs: 20 Kr/student/session
20 Kr per student: Compensate the consuming cost of tools and materials for projects (like printed paper, stationery, cables, batteries, fragile components, etc.)
So, every participant pays: 20 Kr
