This assignment was timely because I needed something to train the parent volunteers who are running my Tues/Thurs evening robotics club without me while I am in class. Its hard because the overlap is complete, so I only communicate with them online, never in person.
This podcast trains the parents to use an online programming tool, WeDo robotics, with the kids. The podcast could be used by the more savvy kids directly, to teach them how to create a LEGO robot program.
Enjoy!
1) I see myself using screencasts quite a bit. It already solved a problem for me with this little training module. Its going to be a useful tool.
2) Because I have a Chromebook there was some confusion with the screencast tools but screencastify did the trick.
3) I still have to look things up a lot but its getting better with practice. This time I was confused about how to trim the end off the video as I fumbled with the tool to stop recording.
glad to hear that this came at a time that's useful for your robotics class. So if I understand it correctly this little program is driving some actual physical robot. What I was thinking is that along with your screencast you might perhaps include an image of the robot. Or if you have a camera that switches front to back you could show the robot in the optional small window as you're demonstrating the code. Does that make sense?
