star's reflection

Hi there! This is Daniela and this week I've been the star of the task 7, called "Exploring Tasks with Digitals Computational Thinking and Coding", but this time without Elena :(😓

The Hour of Code https://hourofcode.com/ is a global movement that helps you to explore tasks for coding. So, in this task we were required to test three activities from this website where we can find lots of games that allow us to learn how to code: https://hourofcode.com/us/gb/learn 😍

Those three activities that we had to choose had to be from those classified on Grades 2-5.

One of them had to be used on poor or no internet conditions, another without computers or devices and the last one as we wished, without requirements.

After having tested the three of them and collecting some evidence that you can se on the journalist's post, we had to answer some questions. Finally, we had to present our work in a Podcast format, including an advertisment for "The Hour of Code", an interview regarding the experience and a reflection about the importance of using this activities in the classroom. 

I know that you are looking forward to listen to our radio program so here you have the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XMRcuQ2Zlb0PJRzLwtk3F2feM09oYie6/view?usp=sharing 👏💥

Also, we had to asses the three games we had tested and include them in the general classroom Ethics Tools' database that we created for task 5: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M2toJxN0cHBrjoYckRHCjf6jg8Fwzt3MItwZPYfK188/edit?usp=sharing

I have really enjoyed this task and the process of doing it. I found it a very interesting activity from which we have learned a lot. I didn't even know that The Hour of Code movement existed! So it has been a good discovery and it is good to know that these types of games exist in order to use them in our future as teachers😍

Regarding the process of doing the task, it was quite new as we have never created a radio program before , but the apps recommeded by Linda made it easy to create it. Also, we really enjoyed doing it as we laughed a lot listening to the audios in which we didn't get the sentences right😂

Enjoy the weekend and see you next week with task 8!!👋
