Hi All, <br><br>Still battling jet lag but thankfully over my stomach issues. I have yet to compose updates and blogs but here are links to the pictures. I've managed to put some captions on some. My planned 7-day training was lessened to 3 days because of a typhoon. Mitch Seaton did the introductory Sugar class with the incoming 4th graders and their teachers in both Occidental Mindoro and Lubang while I did the training for the incoming 5th graders and past Champion Teachers. When not teaching, we were updating the laptops for this year's distribution. <br>
<br>Circuits Class using Measure: <a href="http://bit.ly/nZNfqt">http://bit.ly/nZNfqt</a><br>- This is a 2 hour "demo" class to introduce the Measure activity in their 5th grade circuits class. The kids are introduced to different basic circuit concepts: source/voltage, closed/open/short circuits, series/parallel circuits, conductor, insulators, etc. They used the Measure activity to measure the voltage and conductive dough to build their circuits. Towards the end of the class, they were able to build their own circuit "art" using the concepts that they learned. <br>
<br><br>Etoys Class: <a href="http://bit.ly/peo4s1">http://bit.ly/peo4s1</a><br>- This is a 3 - half day course (from 1pm-4pm). We worked on five (3 big ones and two smaller ones) different projects with one assigned homework project and a short quiz: maze, animation and a knock knock joke on using the speech bubbles in Etoys. <br>
<br>I will post the kids projects one Squeakland.org later if you're interested in seeing their work. <br><br>Enjoy!<br>---Cherry <br>
