Learning Target: I can
Learning Target: I can
- Define circuits
- Describe the features of a circuit
- Identify different types of circuits
- design and invent creative ways to interact with the computer as I learn the concept of circuits.
- sketch and create video game prototypes.
- assess the prototype designs through user testing, observations and other students (focus groups).
- create interactive objects or environments
Based on feedback, I can modify my design to improve it.
