P9 Makey Makey

Cole playing the piano while I film him.

Me and Cole connected the cables to 2 blocks of play-do, and on the other end, we connected to earth, so that when we pressed different things on the circuit board, it played different notes on the piano on the computer site. We tried making a song or something, but we couldn't get the right notes. Or the right sounds. We originally just tried to press one button with the circuit board, but that was very basic, and was about half of one of the projects on the instructions page, so it wasn't enough

I was an empowered learner because I leveraged technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving, and demonstrating competency in my learning goals, informed by the learning sciences. I was also a digital citizen because I Students recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they act and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical. recognized the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and I acted and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical.

Me and Cole made our project, but it was too basic, so we had to make something that required more information of the Makey Makey. We made the first one just pressing play on a video, not even using the play-do, so we changed it so that if we pressed on the Play-Do, it would use whatever button you were pressing, but if we weren't pressing it, it wouldn't do anything. Then we tried to play a song, but they didn't have the right sounds. it gave us about four different sounds on a little piano. We were going to play the Avengers theme song.

I would just try something harder, now that I know how to do it. I would male it more complicated, now that I've done it, and know how to do it, so that I can challenge myself and learn more about computers stuff and stuff like that. maybe like playing a game, or maybe something with more need to press the buttons right and hit the right ones, or maybe moving something around, like one of the spheros or the drone or something like that

I could be a computer coder because I was working with the cords, and learning how to connect things so that I can make the computer think that I pressed the buttons, even though I didn't really press it. That is what a computer coder also does, that code things, so that they can do different things instead of doing the real thing, like pressing a button on a controller to make a robot or something mechanical move, even though they didn't move it. I also tried to play the piano, so I could be a pianist or some sort of other musician
