Welcome back Year 6 and 7. Hope you enjoyed your break.

Problem: How can I use Computer Technology to have fun?
Area of Interaction: Human Ingenuity (Why and how do we create? What are the consequences?)

1) 15 minutes typing
2) Now it's time to move into Term 3 and start our new project.

Open a Word 2010 document,
Write your name,
On the next line write INVESTIGATE and centre text,
On the next line write 1.  Identify the Problem (left margin)

Now, we will write 1 paragraph to introduce our project.

Next, onto 2. Develop a Design Brief

To solve my problem I will do the following research.

1. What is "programming language"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language
2. What is Scratch programming? http://scratched.media.mit.edu/
3. What is a tutorial?  use teacher as reference
4. What is a sprite? http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Sprite

Now let's open Scratch.


Learning objective - The student will: understand the concept of a design brief and adapt a given design brief to the problem or, with guidance, start to develop a design brief. Students will (A3) ask useful questions about the investigation and (A6) understand the importance of questioning the value of sources of information
