“BASIC SHAPES”
The main idea of this learning scenario is students to create a simple program and draw a square and a triangle. After that they will recognize the patterns at their code and they will try to use loops so that the program becomes smaller but the result remains the same re. Finally, they should understandContinueContinue reading ““BASIC SHAPES””

” A Game in History”
Main Idea Students create in history a game by using the scratch software. The game is based on questions and the player earns points depending on whether he answers correctly or not. The goal of this learning scenario is students to learn and use the basic programming structures. We will guide them by providing basicContinueContinue reading “” A Game in History””
