Squeak(Scratch)eries Hier, j'animais un atelier de 75 minutes sur Scratch dans le cadre d'un colloque régional en formation générale des adultes. J'ai commencé par une courte présentation : J'ai ensuite pris 15 minutes pour un voyage guidé à partir du projet PONG. Le reste du temps, les participants devaient eux-mêmes se promener en mathématie, mais je leur avais remis les bases du projet (fichier PDF) qu'il devait produire ! Je fus, il est vrai, agréablement surpris par l'engagement des enseignants dans cette tâche. Faire un guide d'apprentissage - faire prétest - faire examen qui perdure depuis des décennies ; mais une chose est certaine, si jamais cela se produit, Scratch sera là pour stimuler une vision holistique de l'enseignement des mathématiques. 1 D'après moi, le MELS devrait s'ouvrir à une évaluation plus flexible du genre par portfolio.
Scratch for Budding Computer Scientists: by David J. Malan <malan@post.harvard.edu> Table of Contents IntroductionStatementsBoolean ExpressionsConditionsLoopsVariablesThreadsEventsOscartimeOscartime's Instructions SpriteOscartime's Trash SpriteOscartime's Oscar SpriteConclusion Introduction Most programming languages, on first glance, "look like Greek" to the untrained eye, an amalgam of English and unusual syntax. class Hello { public static void main(String [] args) { System.out.println("hello, world!") All the program above does, when executed, is display "hello, world!" Suffice it to say that, when it comes to learning to program, there's quite a learning curve with languages like Java. Learning to program is ultimately about learning to think logically and to approach problems methodically. For many students, the seemingly cryptic syntax of languages like Java tends to get in the way of mastery of such relatively simple constructs as these. We turn our attention first to statements.

Easy Projects to Get Started with Scratch: Drawing 2D Shapes I had my first computer programming experience in ninth grade. I had just moved, and my new guidance counselor persuaded me to take a computer programming class because there were no other open electives. I was dubious. It appeared that coding was either not fun, not cool, not easy, or perhaps all three. We used a language called BASIC to learn about managing data sets, sorting lists, and computing algebraic expressions. So I didn't code again until a college intro course in the language C++. This high entry barrier to the world of computer programming is not uncommon for most kids. Why Wait? Things have changed, however. Scratch has quickly become the most popular programming language for kids today, partly because it was designed for learning, and partly because it's built around sharing with a huge online community. Scratch also helps distill programming into its most pleasant and non-threatening core: just giving instructions to a computer -- that's all programming really is.

A propos de Scratch | imagine - programme - partage Make a Game in Scratch.pdf Scratch Team Blog Caldicot Castle Monmouthshire, Wal UK History Caldicot Castle Monmouthshire, Wales Caldicot Castle is one of the great castles of Wales. History seeps from the battlements of this magnificent and surprisingly intact castle sited on the south border in 55 acres of gardens and woodland. The strategic location of Caldicot has been occupied since the Bronze Age. It was not until the thirteenth century that a stone building was constructed by landowner Walter Fitzroger. The land passed to the DeBohun family at the end of the thirteenth century. The castle passed into Royal hands in 1376 when Alianore DeBohun married the youngest son of Edward III, Thomas Woodstock. Castles fell from favour as the use of gunpowder in warfare made previously impregnable stone fortresses easy targets. Thirty years later, the castle passed into the hands of a Victorian antiquarian. Sarah Finch, Castle Development Officer, said: "Each year about 27,000 people visit the castle because it is a fantastic place full of history. Rating: 6.4/10 (5 votes cast)
County Down - selected monuments Ballynahatty: Passage tomb and henge J 327 677 Sheet 15 click on the thumbnail for more pictures and text Only 6.5 km S of the centre of Belfast via the Malone Road and Minnowburn Beeches, The Giant's Ring is an impressive and atmospheric monument, consisting of a circular bank some 3.5 metres high enclosing a large space some 180 metres in diameter and 2.8 hectares in area. It is unclear which, if any, of the 5 irregularly-spaced gaps in the henge are original. The henge may have been one of those monuments erected by the late-Neolithic "Beaker People" of N Britain who were responsible also for the large free-standing stone circles at Ballynoe and Newgrange, as well as the stone circle backed by a henge at Lough Gur. Recent excavations (outside the bank) revealed similarities with the phased construction of Stonehenge, and the existence of a 'megalithic landscape' of great ceremonial and ritual importance. ~ 13 km ENE (via the Outer Ring road) is Greengraves portal-tomb (below).
Aerial Pictures Reveal Past Of Hadrian's Wall November 25, 2008 British archaeologists used thousands of aerial photos to reveal more than 2,700 unrecorded historic features of Hadrian’s Wall in northern England. Among the new features identified by experts from the English Heritage were medieval sheep farms, ancient burial mounds and 19th Century lead mines. The scientists used more than 30,500 pictures taken during the past 60 years as part of an English Heritage initiative to map and interpret England’s archaeological sites. The project began in 2002, and includes a wide area on either side of the 73 mile length of the wall from the Solway Plain in Cumbria to Newcastle in the east. Recorded features of Hadrian’s Wall, a World Heritage Site, include a World War II anti-aircraft gun battery near Cleadon, Tyneside, an Iron Age hillfort near Fourstones, Northumberland, and the abandoned medieval village of East Matfen.
