Reminder: sign up for an ability badge in preparation for next week!
Open this lab document, which we'll work through together.
Due: Tuesday 2/15 before class
Complete the Lab, if you were unable to during the class session.
On your web site, document each of the tasks in Part 7:
Outline the process you used (at a high level) to accomplish the task (e.g., "I used the code from Part 6 and what I learned in Part 4 to ...). You can use a few sentences or bullet points.
Reflect on the question "Is this for me?" as you consider the lab experience. How do the topics we've discussed so far (self-regulation/self-regulated learning, mindset, self-efficacy, active listening) play a role in your response? You may choose whether to use a written (3-4 paragraphs) or recorded (1-3 minute audio/video) format. Use these prompts to guide your reflection:
When you first started the lab, did you feel like it was inside your comfort zone? Outside? Or did you feel neutral?
As you moved through the lab, did you find your confidence and comfort level shift?
What self-talk did you notice while interacting with the Circuit Playground Express microcontroller or while completing the lab?
Did you notice that others in the class had more/less comfort than you? What could be contributing to different comfort levels?
