Cyber bullying – We identified the different ways that people can be cyber bullied so we know what to look for and how to handle it. We know that it can be difficult to speak up for someone who is experiencing this. We practiced what to say or write and where to send a report to stop a cyber bully. We know not to post anything online that we would not want our parents, teachers, or friends to see. We understand that we should ask permission from people in photos before sharing them online. I introduced Nico to Scratch which is a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create games and animations. This should allow Nico to think creatively and systematically.
Cyber Safety – We created our own safe social media profile. Then we determined the content of our digital footprint. The compilation of websites, apps, and online accounts was very small.
Cyber Safety – We learned how to access and communicate safely on the Internet. We know which information is safe to share and which is not. We can make the most of the digital technologies available to us by adapting to new ways of doing things as technologies evolve and limit the risks to ourselves and others in a digital environment.
Second session - Completed the motor/joystick project. Added a DC motor whose speed was controlled with the joystick's Y-axis. Needed to incorporate a transistor so motor would have enough current to run.
Worked with Cabo to start the servo motor/joystick project. Constructed a circuit with just the servo motor and wrote code to rotate it through an arc from 0 to 180 degrees and back to 0.
Second session - completed the Weather Central project. Applied a few more simple CSS styles and added ability to retrieve weather data using a zip code rather than city and state.
Continued working on Weather Central project. Completed the code to display all the weather data retrieved from the API. Added a stylesheet to the HTML page.
Second session - Continued working on Weather Central project. Finished adding elements to show the weather data and began adding code to populate those elements with data received from the weather API.
Continued working on Weather Central project. Added code to extract the latitude and longitude from the geocode response, then constructed the URL and sent the request to get weather data for that location. Began adding UI components to show the current weather to the user.
