We now have Terrapin LOGO installed on all the workstations in the IT Centre. Working with the Gr5,6&7 Tech Club we covered how to build procedures. I gave them the task of using rotating squares to make the following images: All the students were able to complete the task, some needing more time than others!

We obtained a site licence for Kinderlogo which is essentially a stripped down version of LOGO. The Gr3 Tech Club have been field testing it as I would like to introduce it into the K-3 math curriculum. Of course some of the activities were quite easy for the students, but would fit very well into the early years curriculum. So this week my fout Tech Clubs started up again. Monday lunchtime was Grade 2 Robotics, and 47 students showed up to play Turtle Pond, Road and Motion Planning, as well as use the Pro-Bot floor robots.Tuesday lunchtime saw 12 Grade 4 students learn about Animoto. Wednesday lunchtime was when 16 Grade 3 students created pop art collages of themselves. Check out the samples below! Unfortunately one of the students moved the picture file so some weren't able to access their photos. I eventually tracked down the errant folder - to be continued next week! After school on Wednesday 10 Grade 5/6 students worked with 2Create a Superstory. I love Sophie's story Penny the Pig shown below! Click on the arrow to turn the page. The Grade 2 students were thrilled with the challenge of the four different Motion Planning activities ( Moving Objects, Robot Arm, Driving a car, and Multiple Robots). Some of these activities are quite complex, and the students liked trying to achieve the high score for the fewest moves. The Grade2 Tech Club worked on the Road program (road design), Isle of Tune (town planning with music!) and the Pro-bots. Paige and Sarah made a simple LOGO program that we drew onto paper using the Pro-bot. Here is their program:
