Blog 2: WeDo 2.0 Lego Lab

 

In today's IDET 4300 STEM Technology class, we used the ITSE standards as shown below and can be found on my ITSE standards portfolio.

1c: Leverage CT and CS experts, resources and professional learning networks to continuously improve practice integrating CT across content areas.

5b: Empower students to select personally meaningful computational projects.

4d: Create CS and CT learning environments that value and encourage varied viewpoints, student agency, creativity, engagement, joy and fun.

    In today's lab, we were using WeDo 2.0 Legos to create something that moved. I was working on making a vehicle that moved, but I saw a fellow classmate named Jasmine Cahill who made a cooling fan. She got it to spin through the WeDo 2.0 app. The video shown below is hers, but I do hope to make my own working WeDo project next time and post my own video. It was really cool to see the fan spin though. 

This was a video made by Jasmine Cahill.
    
This is the code Jasmine Cahill did.


    I know students of all ages would be curious about how to work the different projects like this fan. I know I was really curious and trying to build something on my own that did share similarities with Milo the Science Rover. My only issue was having to download with my laptop because the battery was low and the WeDo 2.0 apps compatibility to devices.

  1. Hi Ashlynn! You did a great job listing standards! After going back and reviewing the standards, you can also add two more standards from Facilitator which are 5a: Evaluate and use CS and CT curricula, resources and tools that account for learner variability to meet the needs of all students and 5c: Use a variety of instructional approaches to help students frame problems in ways that can be represented as computational steps or algorithms to be performed by a computer.

  2. The blog looks great! I noticed you had great standards, I chose to use the same ones. However the standard 5a and 5c were suggested to me, I think those two standards would apply greatly.
