Learning Observed
Imran is amidst his very interesting iExplore learning adventure about how to make robots.  Imran has enjoyed prototyping simple robots with various materials and making changes to improve them demonstrating curiosity and resilience.  He has also fostered the curiosity of other learners.  It has been great to observe him making connections to his iExplore while he participated in some ‘discovery learning’ where they had some choices of tasks to complete to help them get familiar with the coding programme ‘Scratch’ and the extension kit ‘Makey Makey’ .  He also made connections to their prior knowledge.  Through watching tutorials, trialling his predictions and playing around with the various affordances of the equipment and programme he is self-directing his own learning.  Watching Imran’s passion and commitment is fantastic and he has pride when showing his classmates.  He is still making changes and has diverted slightly to making a powered boat which is wonderful.  He has worked collaboratively to design and create an animation using Scratch code and Makey Makey and he is transferring his new capability to his iExplore.  He has showed his curiosity, thinking and managing self skills by looking at what others had done and making connections to what he wants to achieve. I am looking forward to seeing how his learning progresses and how he can teach others his new learning.
