June Newsletter – EduTech Insights #5

This months edition of EduTech Insights focuses on the continuation of Google Classroom. This issuse looks closely at rubrics and how best to create them in Google Classroom. I also share a step by step lesson plan designed for Year 3-4 students on how to create their own game using Scratch.

micro:bit Champion Educator 2023

This year I took part in the micro:bit Champion educator programme. I’m looking forward to applying again in 2024 and having a more active role. Sharing more and making more connections. For the first half of Term 1 next year I will be teaching four senior primary school classes focusing on digital technology projects using the micro:bit. I’m planning to post an update each week.

Project 8 CS50S

CS50S Assignment 8 was to revise one of the previous projects you’ve already created. Find some sequence of blocks that you used multiple times, and organize them into a custom block.

Custom blocks were added to Abby’s character.

Addition features are also added, such as declining the sale if insufficient funds exist.

This is a sim-type game that could be used for financial literacy. It is only very basic but has the potential to be developed further.
