The programming node is based on three questions: What happens inside a computer? What is programming? What is it for and where is the programming present?
Thus, a new relationship between the user and technological devices is encouraged, establishing a more critical approach and a change in their usability guidelines, laying the foundations for an active and integrated use of technology.
Developed by: Daniel Barreiro.
Aimed at: students and teachers of primary and secondary education centers in the Principality of Asturias.
Methodology:
In the words of Mitchel Resnick, professor of learning research and director of the “Lifelong Kindergarten” research group, MIT Media Lab (developers of Scratch): “We must imagine and generate new educational strategies and technologies, share them with others and “interactively redefine and expand them.”
Students go from consumers to active creators of content: interactive stories, games and animations, which are then shared online. It is precisely this step that leads them to take control of their learning process, giving shape to a project for which they feel responsible and in which the contents of the school curriculum and technological artifacts acquire meaning.
Goals:
– Develop self-esteem and personal initiative: imagine projects, develop new ideas, look for solutions and put them into practice. – Promote the ability to learn: curiosity to ask questions, identify resources and search for methodologies and strategies. Become owners of their own learning.‐ Promote experimentation, a critical attitude and creative thinking, through knowledge of techniques and tools.‐ Highlight the importance of a deeper knowledge of technological language.
Dates:
From Wednesday, November 23 to Thursday, December 1, 2016, from Tuesday, January 17 to Friday, January 27, and from Tuesday, March 22 to Friday, March 31, 2017
