Well, third week, the third chapter of course Scratch to teach kids programming.
Well, teachers, how is the course? Once again I remind you that you can leave your questions and comments or in my Twitter account is @ tejedor1967 or in the comments of that entry.
as always I recommend that you first you see the video to understand the concepts that we will raise and then to explain to children.
In the chapter of this week, and the importance of the concept, we began reviewing the issue with an example of the loops. We return with nested loops and loops introduced as a new "forever" for the program to repeat indefinitely. In addition we introduce the concept of a conditional that helps us bridge with the main concept of this week that are conditional statements "yes", the if ... then they taught us.
also need to introduce the concept of sensor (sensors), but only above and referring only to the key touch sensor.
Tasks "to teach? Insisting on the loop because they find it harder to understand than conditions. Do exercises with them that I inventéis including keystroke conditions. This is important because it gives them a sense that children make a game, that is what draws the attention of all this programming. I insist on this video. Being able to control objects with the arrow keys is the first step in making games.
Well I leave you with the video you can see in this link or watch it on your own blog.
to next week where we will enter the aggregate concept of variables, but we will include it with concepts that will appeal to children.
