This is GarageBand. It's an iPad app which allows you to compose digitally. It has a variety of instruments and is incredibly useful for layering music over other music. It is an ideal way to incorporate computing into music.
This app does however require quite a lot of groundwork if used correctly, a lesson for general navigation would be useful before a more focussed lesson with a product outcome is expected
I have been working on my coding skills in scratch and in this project I have managed to get one sprite to chase another sprite to a fixed point.
Scratch is perhaps more suited to discrete computing lessons but could be incorporated into other subjects for example:
Geography: children use a map or compass directions to move their sprite around. History based: using historical figures to recreate a battle or key event
This is Hour of Code. I used it a lot for my Gpp 3/4 computing lessons. It is a free on line resources (https://code.org/learn) which has themes the children enjoy, and introduced them to basic coding in a similar fashion to Scratch. I found the children worked well on this, and worked in pairs or threes to solve the puzzle (debugging)
This is really only suited to discrete computing lessons. There is also a danger that children will become frustrated when the cannot solve the puzzle. It requires prior knowledge of angle sizes, and for children to be able to persevere and debug without becoming distressed. Thus it can require a lot of guidance to be used effectively and not all children can complete it independently
KS1/2 Introduction to Decomposition Unplugged Activity: Tut, clap or jive Recommended year group: Any key stage 1 or 2 Activity duration: Approximately 30 mins Cross curricular links: PE Concepts and approaches Overview This is an unplugged activity in which pupils create hand clapping, hand tutting or hand …
I taught this lesson on my final week in GPP to my year 4 class. I showed them a youtube video of Glee performing the hand jive (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StASsCWGMek)
I then asked them to perform the dance. When they could not we decided that breaking down the dance (algorithm) into smaller chunks (decomposition) would be easier.
I then let them work in groups to come up with their own algorithms for a dance and to perform each others to see if they had successfully decomposition their algorithm.
Anyone can learn the basic concepts of Computer Science. Choose an intro activity to start learning.
Hour of Code, was the main focus of the year 3/4 computing lessons during GPP. They are themed based on things the children enjoy like frozen of minecraft and children have to create a code which moves a cartoon character in a certain fashion. It has levels pupils see it as more of a game than work which is brilliant.
5 e-safety SMART cartoons for 7 to 11 year olds.
This is a link to a movie which I showed during my GPP placement a mixed year 3/4 class. It is made up of 5 chapters which form the acronym SMART (safe, meet, accept, reliable, tell). It is based upon a hi-tech pirate ship. We watched this over several lessons and then I had the children create their own e-safety posters based upon the SMART principles.
A google hangout on the different ways to teach computing in KS1, it involves Beebot demos and demos of scratch Jr.
An example Lee and Kim video showing how e-safety can be talk to a younger audience
This explains Lee and Kims Adventure Animal Magic and it’s use to teach e-safety
These two graphs based upon a 2011 survey show that adults and children have very different worries about using the internet, and it is important to understand that there will be differences and that we must try to put ourselves in another shoes to fully understand and help them remain safe on-line.
Summary of The Main E-Safety Pinrciples
E-Safety 1.2: Children Remember
This part of the E-safety module reflects a government scheme based upon the Think U Know and the Get Safe Online websites. These websites cover a number of topics such as Nude Selfies, Social Networking, webcam abuse, and chatting with strangers online, as well as protecting yourself and your computer. The Main principles of esafety for children are :
1) Zip it: keep all personal information private, do not give names, addresses, telephone numbers, school information to people online, and use nicknames in chat rooms etc. 2)Block it: Delete emails form unknown sources, Block abusive members of social networks where possible
3) Flag it: If worried tell a parent or care, call childline
E-Safety 1.1: teachers remember
Today I completely section 1.1 of the E-Safety module via University of Manchester Blackboard. here are the key points and useful information:
1) The Prevent Website is an incredibly useful resource for looking at how to prevent localisation and to provide a safe learning environment so allow for diversity and questioning without fear.
2) I had a look at the sections on Respect, growth of culture, Don’t judge a book by its cover and justice to give me ideals of how to tackle difficult topics in primary school.
3) I also learn about the MRS system (Monitor, Report ,Save) as a way to protect children form unstable and inappropriate content on-line and to keep them safe.
In a Taught Session in Uni today, we used Beebots to apply computing in a cross-curricular manner to geography. Pupils would use the Beebots to move from one country to another, instructing each other on how to get there, perhaps using the compass directions rather than ‘left right’ etc
Very useful hangout on the idea of computational thinking, which forms the basis of computing.
