Today I was working on the VIVE, I was trying to dock a spacecraft.
Our assignment was to build a train that's powered by an electric engine.
Today I'm going to talk about my mBot, it's not fully completed but I'm working on it.
I was working on designing a rocket ship.
We've been working on stop-motion.
It's when you take a picture and then move something just a tiny bit and then you take
a picture again.
Most of this is Lego and then there's some robotics.
We do the coding on this.
Recently I've been working with servos and how servos interact with each other to make
different types of robotics.
It makes kids think, it makes kids really do cool stuff.
My name is Barry Kraynyk, I'm a technology teacher here at St. Thomas Aquinas High School.
I'm currently teaching a grade 11 and 12 tech design course.
My name's Kaitlin Bryck and I teach grade 3/4 french immersion at Ecole Ste-Marguerite
Bourgeoys.
I'm Angela Saciuk, I'm prep teacher St. Francis School, I also run a tech club after school
hours with a group of grade 6 students.
The curriculum for this course focuses primarily on software applications, so coding I guess
would be the easiest way to say it.
During our classroom time, we do a lot of exploration with technology based in various
forms.
Okay, so what are you doing right now?
Uh, right now I'm wirelessly connecting my mBot to my iPad.
Coding is kind of a set of commands that you use to make, something, it can be on a computer,
or a robot, to do something.
By using coding, I'm teaching them some good problem solving skills and some basic math
skills.
We're learning about, like, the different planets.
We've used an HTC VIVE, virtual reality headset.
It's really cool.
My students showed some great interest in choose your own adventure novels.
Everyone wrote their own choose your own adventure.
They used their chrome books, they wrote in google docs and they were able to share that
with me and with their peers.
We started putting it into stop motion, so we made characters, we made scenes.
They used iPads to take hundreds of photos and they linked them together and they edited
in iMovie.
He was working on an arduino microcontroller.
It kind of uses a hardware piece, a hands-on piece to teach the software components of
the curriculum.
We google different man-made structures, so, like the Great Wall of China and the CN Tower
and students then create them with blocks and research them.
Most cases in the classroom, we tend to just focus on the text book.
By bringing in robotics we take it into a whole other realm and it shows the kids the
possibilities of where their electricity unit could go.
I built the whole thing and it all works but there are some problems that I will have to
fix.
With design there's always problems when you're designing it.
Nothing every stays really the same.
Solving them just takes time.
You don't just click one button and your whole program works.
It's a series of different things that you have to go through.
Technology has the ability to enhance our learning.
Every piece of technology that we use in here makes this course possible.
If students have the opportunity to take high level courses in any sort of computing or
engineering courses, it's going to help them in the long run.
The 21st century workplace involves thinking outside the box.
And I think it's imperative that we ensure that our students, whether it be in kindergarten
or higher education, that they feel comfortable with various forms of technology.
And that's the way the world is going to be.
Our students are going to be these global citizens and it's awesome that we're creating
classrooms where they can share that knowledge and they can celebrate their learning.
