This session with present a version of the TAS course that can be taught at a school with no tech department and cover possible variations of the course in terms of topics, assignments and costs involved. Materials and assignments will be shared as well.
Single-point rubrics are the ideal assessment tool for open-ended, project-based learning (and changed my life as a teacher!). Learn how to effortlessly create an assessment rubric that’s tied to the curriculum expectations, tells students exactly what they need to accomplish in order to meet the expected standard, and your life simpler by using levels-based assessment.
In this session, I’ll share my experiences introducing IoT concepts into my TEJ/TEx class using Python and Raspberry Pi hardware, which is easily applicable to other internet capable microprocessors. We’ll explore practical approaches for teaching IoT, from simple sensor projects to real-world data applications, including the creation of web based dashboards through the AdafruitIO platform. This session will provide you some ideas and resources to bring connected devices into your classroom.
Coding without design leads to disaster! State Chart “Models” are used to facilitate a clear communication of software behavior before any coding takes place. In this workshop, we will review the basic features of state charts and show how these models can be implemented in Arduino sketches.
