Educators continually improve their practice by developing an understanding of computational thinking and its application as a cross-curricular skill. Educators develop a working knowledge of core components of computational thinking: such as decomposition; gathering and analyzing data; abstraction; algorithm design; and how computing impacts people and society.
5.3.c - Plan collaboratively with other educators to create learning activities that cross disciplines to strengthen student understanding of CT and CS concepts and transfer the application of knowledge in new contexts.
Our Plans for TELLO at Metro: We will divide the students between the two of us. 1 of us explains the codes to a few students and how it works and the other will work hands on with the student and drone. We will have one code that we want the students to be successful in before our time is up, and if we have more time at the end, we will allow the students to work at creating a code that they would like to see the drone complete. Our one code will include the drone repeating a step 3-4 times. It will complete a complete square and once it is finished, it will do a back-flip, then a front-flip, then land. Picture of code attached below.
However, our drone was unsucessful at pairing to our personal devices. My partner Madi and I eventually had to partner up with another group to have our group of students be able to participate with the drone. We had problems, but found solutions!
