Lesson 11: Personal Protection and Data Protection

-
  In this lesson we are going to talk about important tips and information that we need to know when using our computer: Nowadays we use our devices for everything, and they contain a lot of private information that we need to protect against possible cyber attacks. Therefore there are som recommendations that we should consider: - Keep our devices updated. - Use safe passwords (there are websites where you can check how good your password is). - Clean regularly your devices from cookie information. - Try to hide your wifi so that only those who know its name can have access to it. - Beware of spam emails that you may receive and always check the information and the source, to make sure that nobody is trying to trick you.  In addition, because of the importance of technologies nowadays, we also spend a lot of time in front of our computers. This is why there are some recommendations that we should consider: - Maintain a proper posture. - Make sure all elements from your enviro...

Lesson 10: Variables & Inputs/Outputs (Scratch)

-

05/05/2021

This is the last lesson of programming with Scratch and for this reason we made an exercise using variables and output. We saw how to use variables and input but now we are going to see how to code our program to let other users introduce their own variables and do operations.
 

We did an exercise with three characters who do things when you click on them: The ballerina asks the user to guess her name and her age. Then it changes the value of those variables to what the user introduces. And after the ballerin says them, she will keep dancing.



The baseball player will ask you what her name is. If you introduce any name, she will say it and then, she will do her baseball routine.


The last character is a boy who does mathematical operations. If you click on him he will say "Let's do some operations" and ask you for two numbers. Then he will do the sum, substraction, multiplication and division of those numbers.

Lesson 10. Programming: LOOPS

23/04/21 We are going to talk about Loops, which is the third basic knowledge children need to know in order to have a basic approach towards programming. Loops in programming are used to make the program repeat the code several times, it is very useful for animations and exercises!   To introduce the concept of "loops" we can tell the children they are like setting the table. One set of actions could be to set a plate, a glass, a fork and a knife in the table, but if you want to set the table for 4 people you can just repeat that set of actions 4 consecutive times. We can practice this basic concept by making use of Primary Code , since the coding is already done, and children will only need to understand it. Then, we can explain this same concept of repeating a certain action a number of times. To make the concept a little bit more hard we can add variables into the mix. In the following picture we have three variables: a, b and i (increasement). When the value of i is less...

12. 03. 21 THEORICAL PART: During this lesson we learnt what the topic Netiquette  ( internet etiquette ) is as it is understood as a code of good behavior on Internet: email, social media, online chats (Instant Messenger Services), forums, website or news sites comments, etc.  There are two fundamental milestones in the history of style rules:   The document RFC 1855 ( Request for Comments 1855 ) of 1995. This document was the first reference regarding rules of etiquette for the Internet.  NETiquette , by Virginia Shea 1994. In 1994, Virginia Shea published this work, which has become one of the classics of / on the Internet. It has 10 general rules which are: Rule 1: Never forget that the person reading the message is indeed human with feelings that can be hurt.  Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of online behavior that you follow in real life. Rule 3: Writing everything in capital letters is considered as shouting and also makes reading difficult. Rule 4:...
