Hmmmmm, life as a Squeakster - day 3. I'm beginning to understand what it must be like to be a high school student. Play on the computer for a couple of hours then eat lunch. Come back, sit around and talk to your friends for a couple more hours then get on the bus and chill out. NOT!! How about discovering that maybe your original lesson plan project to use surveying was way too complicated for a first time project. Squeak doesn't lend itself well to working in 3 dimensions. Maybe it would be better to try something with adding dimensions like 23' 3" + 12' 8". I'm thinking of an inch worm creeping across a ruler or something like that. Well, first I need to go back and build my Rube Goldburg machine, that will be fun and I might just learn something new. Later>

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are working to make connections to your classroom! I hope that you will continue to do this as your professional development with the USeIT project continues. It won't be easy to create a Squeak project for all of the topics in your curriculum, but the logical thinking, problem solving, and teamwork will be beneficial for their future. Is the Rube Goldburg machine something that would be good for your students to consider?
