So it is difficult to change in midstream, but hard not to when you are excited about something new.
I love Kelly O'Shea's new CVPM packet, but then John Burke's same packet with the Vpython comes along. THink that is called the computational thinking model.
I have worked at learning Python and completed 6 of the tutorials. Rush, get Vpython loaded my my students computers.
Sequence is probably off.
Whiteboarding throughout the unit. - doing better at that this year.
-Blinky car lab
-CVPM packet
-after ws 2 do Motion Detector Lab
-Quiz 1 (I don't grade but look at, comment and give back)
-Finish Packet
-Review worksheet from original ASU worksheets
-VOcabulary and what Kelly refers to Pokemon card description (I love this) for the unit
-Make up a problem as a class (each has to contribute something to the motion) and look at the models of that motion
-test
-COlliding Cars
-Vpython (if it all loaded by then).
Hope to do better on my sequence next year.
So I will spend my year behind....
I see the value in it all.
