8PIX - Micro:Bits

Reflection:

• Using micro:bits, I created three separate videos with different messages because it is a fun way to display words on the micro:bit rather than on paper. The first message says "I Like Ike." The second message contains a checkmark. The third messages says It's the economy, stupid.

• During this process, I learned how to put strings of words into a message. The last time I did this I made individual boxes for each letter. This time I changed it and added all the words in a single strand.

• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Global Collaborator because I am sharing my work to the world.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was uploading the videos and images onto Google Drive. I was able to do it by deleting them from Google drive and reuploading them . This worked and I had no more problems.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the coding. The reason why I would change it is because I would add a loop. A loop allows the message to be displayed over and over again without manually pressing the buttons.
