Robots

Este año estamos incorporando los Robots de Lego Mindstorms a nuestro proyecto de aula, nuestra investigación sobre los peces. Los alumnos diseñaron un programa para calcular cuántos peces hay en un lago. Había tres lagos, unos estaban más poblados que los demás. Las causas no las sabemos, pero hay que contabilizar la población de peces para comprobar si hay menos o no.
En esta foto, D.S. nos descubre por qué hay una parte del programa que no funciona. Durante una sesión de trabajo, los alumnos expusieron qué problemas tenían con los programas, había un grupo que decía que su programa no contaba los peces. D.S. nos dio la solución: los iconos de las funciones deben estar conectados entre sí con un enlace amarillo, si el enlace aparece gris, no está conectado y no da la orden.
La programación que hemos utilizado ha sido bastante compleja , usando multiplicaciones, estimaciones, decimales y variables. Los programas están terminados y todos funcionan, aunque hay que ir perfeccionándolos. Seguiremos en ello. ¡Enhorabuena chicos!¡ Habéis hecho un trabajo impresionante!

It's been exactly a year since my last post. To say that I have been very busy is an understatement, but I have great news that I need to share with everybody. Our Robotics Team , " Technar " ( team 12055 at FTC Alberta) got the Second Place last weekend in Edmonton in the Alberta-British Columbia competition.  The first place was for a BC team which virtually turns ours as the best team in Alberta. Yay! I couldn't be prouder and happier about this Team that has showed their talent, enthusiasm, commitment and teamwork throughout these months.  We started back in September with a group of 30 grade 8 and 9 students. We have been meeting on a weekly basis ( more than that in the last weeks) guided by Mr Wilson, Engineering and Robotics Teacher from Ernest Manning High School. Mr Wilson has participated in the competition before and has lots of experience so his help has been crucial for our team.  Our team had lots of fun in Edmonton. We had a great start g

Augmented reality+Doceri, the teacher by your side

Last week I tried using "Aurasma" in the iPads. Aurasma is an augmented reality app that uses a trigger image to show a 3d object, video or whatever you want to appear. My goal was to make a worksheet alive. As we work in a bilingual setting and we teach math in spanish, explanations are very visual but not all the students pick it up at the beginning. Some of them need further explanation, of course , whether it is their mother language or not. But I was thinking about homework and that moment when you are trying to recall an explanation but you do not remember exactly what the teacher said. And here is when the "virtual teacher" in a form of video appears when you put the iPad over the worksheet.  The application could seem very complicated , but in fact, it was easy to deal with since it guides you al l the time. You can create use one aura form the database, but I created my own one. I first did a video using "Doceri" explaining the
