Recently in One Laptop per Child, and as the year comes to a close, we have been working on finishing up our online Scratch lessons about Geography before the culminating trip at the end of the year. While I will not be traveling, just being in the class has been such an amazing experience. I have learned so much not only about technology, but also helping others and being creative. I have really enjoyed all of our projects this year, however I am particularly enjoying our current lesson project, and finding creative ways to teach information that is presented in a fun and exciting way. From teaching the 4th graders at our school about coding, to learning how to use the Scratch program, and to our current final project, it has been such an amazing experience, and I can not wait to see what One Laptop does in the future!
Since the last time that I posted on the blog, we have changed our projects. It was a very humbling experience to admit that our other projects were too complicated to finish. Despite the problems with the last project, our new projects are going very well. We are working on projects about body systems. My first project was the digestive system, and this was a very long project. Since finishing that recently, my new project is about the urinary system. The projects are difficult, but it is very special to work on them knowing that they will help educate children around the world. In addition, we are working on preparing for our trip to Barbados! The meetings we have had are aiming to prepare our group to teach about Scratch and to work together. I am so excited to work with the kids, and of course, enjoy the beaches!
