Scratch VS Sphero

Annyeong! Today I'll be doing a reflection about two apps we explored on Tuesday this week which is Scratch and Sphero. 

1) What is Scratch?
Scratch is one of the apps we can use to make our game. Scratch does a lot of thrilling things like you can add your own sound effects or you could voice over your character. Using the great app, you could make a stopmotion or an animation. 

2) What is Sphero?

Sphero is an app where you can control a small sphere robot. In that app, you can tell what the robot to do. To control the sphero you need to connect it with an Apple iPad and connect it with a robot. When one of the Sphero lights up, that means that's the robot you just connected. You could also make it say something and change the light colour.

3) What do these tools have in common?

The things that Sphero and scratch have in common is that you could both control and edit whatever you want it to do. I also notice they both start at letter S.

4) Which one do you prefer and why?

For me, I think I'd prefer to use Scratch because you can edit it using your Chromebook. If you use sphero you have to connect the iPad to the robot and you'll have trouble controlling it especially you don't use a common iPad in the school It's one of the kinds of iPad. Plus, you can use scratch at home if you have your own Chromebook.

5) How could you use one of these to address your issues?

I could use the Scratch app and make a specific character that travelled somewhere and fix the deforestation problems with her magic. I know magic doesn't exist in real life but It's fine. 

Anyway, Bye and have a great day everyone!

What have we been doing in Digitech?

Kamusta! Today I'll be blogging about one of our new hurumanu and that is Digital Tech with Miss Tozer, Mr Carter and Mr Richardson. In this hurumanu, we are focusing on making a game about our Topic. The topics we need to choose from are Social, Ethical and Environment issues. I choose environmental issues and It's about Deforestation. For the past few weeks, we're just doing some researching about the topic we choose. We have this google doc to put our resources there.

After we've done the researching parts, I think we are exploring 2 apps that you could make a game based on your topic. For example, your topic was about rubbish, you could make a game where you put bits of pieces of rubbish to the bin. 

I'd say, this hurumanu is pretty exciting because It involves using exciting apps and gadgets and I've heard we are gonna use some robots. So far I enjoy this new hurumanu and the only thing is bothering me is that we can't access to the Hurumanu site.

Anyways, here is my doc that I've been working on based on my topic.
