As second semester begins, my excitement for the Barbados trip continues to grow. Julia and I will be heading down a few days early to prepare the laptops before the entire group arrives. I am super excited to have both an individualized experience as well as one working with the entire group. In class, we have been working on drafting an instruction manual for people learning how to use Scratch. The manual includes step by step instructions as well as symbols (such as a star and lightbulb) next to the different points that indicate an important point, big idea, etc. Some members of the class have gone to the Lower School to practice teaching Scratch, but unfortunately, I have not had any of the periods free to do that. Because I have not had this teaching experience, I am a little bit worried about teaching the kids in Barbados. However, I have had experience teaching children in Guatemala, and know that it requires patience and repetition. I am ready to take on this challenge!
