Title:Bryneven coding with Purple Mash: Newton’s apple with Gr 4

DESCRIPTION:
This lesson is about Newton – getting an apple, on the basis of gravity, on his head. So, when the apple hits his head, an explosion is shown, then hides the bang, it shows a head bump scaled up or down.

We let the science teacher to explain the apparent importance of narrating this story over and over. How we would be inclined to have underestimated the significance of this collision event. This activity responds to identifying with the requirements of each challenge; the tasks building one on the other. Was it Newton who referred to the shoulders of giants?

Completing each of these built on the learning on the previous; leading to the next phase of interaction, that will ultimately end up with a self builder. A detailed understanding is provided by engaging with the reading instructions.

We control the behavior of the objects throught the programming block organization. We still need to communicate their movement and function: to understand a system -21st educational possibility- that represents the larger system. Thus significan apples meet with the head of man -we have bang shows, hides bang, shows bump and history is such and such i.e., much more.

Each of these challenges is building experience that feeds into engaging with the next -finally culminating in a Do it yourself. Mr Bradley, Gauteng Department of Education teacher tries to get a clear cut understanding -derive the necessary expectations, by reading the instructions, alluding to the intro videos. We explore the behaviour of objects -controlled by the organization of significant coding blocks. We have yet to connect -in the movement and acts- move understanding toward the expressiveness of any larger system.

Title:Bryneven Coding Sharing Purple Mash work in html with Mr Bradley

DESCRIPTION:
This lesson is broken into three tutorials. They are engaged with Zinhle Ngcama (coding game). Ilaria Zomero’s art piece and Khai Naicker’s animation are used.

The lesson explores events and movements of objects -tuna, crab, clown fish and trout. These fish take different directions, like up, down, left and right, with Zinhle Ngcama (Grade 1). We look at taking our work into play mode, to see what the code does, on the click event.

The when click event is used to trigger the code. We specify which of the objects are linked with the code blocks and the movements of up, down, left and right. By being linked into the code blocks each fish objects movement is rightly associated with its click event e.g., the clown fish moves on the click event of the clown fish. The trout moves on its associated click event. Hence the event matches the designated object i.e., the tuna, crab, clown fish and the trout.

We look at the world button, which is used to share work. The world button allows us to extract the embed code; which is a piece of code that takes the activity, art work and animation from Purple Mash -for sharing. The embed code (iframe) from the activity, art work and animation are placed into the body section of the hypertext markup language file. This embed code (iframe) builds on our previous three lessons.

The last three tutorials explored the structure of the hypertext markup language. We are using the htm extension -to indicate that its being read by the browser- when saving our file from notepad. This lesson provides enough recapping and relooking at the embed code (iframe) to build on the content of those lessons.

1st of August, Thursday. Bryneven’s coding tutor, Mr. Bradley (Mr. B), provides a basic lesson on sharing within a hypertext markup language file. We are enthusiastic: considering how the 21st century is here; it’s all about programming. We consider the emergence of new educational possibilities -expressed through technology- with underlying paradigm shifts. Grade 1s and 2s experience enabled i.e., to keeping and sharing work. We appreciate all support.

Title:Bryneven Coding presents a Basics of html

DESCRIPTION:
In our previous lesson we used embed code, from Purple Mash, to place a game.

A lesson that builds on the previous lesson -the basics of html files. In this lesson we cover the main sections, the body, header and other parts.

We explore the file extension -to be opened by the browser. The whole idea is to place a video in the file using the video tag. This lesson would have built some understanding of the structure or syntax of html files.
