Okay one more idea, hook it up to a Makey Makey and have kids "Draw their own controllers" Where they can use pencil and pager to make their own game/drawing controls.
Wonderful (as usual).I love the idea of using these on a Smartboard where kids can play with them and everyone can see.Some ideas:1) For Pencil Art - Allow the kids to:
- Modify the colors in the pencil
- See and change the script values so they can see how changing the numbers make different designs
2) For Red Rim/Orpheum Puzzel (and any Tanagrams in general)
- Allow the kids to rotate and flip the objects
- Allow the kids to create their own tanagrams (this might be better at a touch screen station where kids can build and share their projects - which get posted to the Museam Lobby with appropriate credit and a picture of the kid who created it).
Really great stuff,Thanks for sharing,StephenOn Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 9:37 AM, Harness, Kathleen <kharness@illinois.edu> wrote:
_______________________________________________Good Morning All,
The link is to a set of Etoys projects for the Orpheum Children's Science Museum in Champaign,Illinois. http://etoysillinois.org/library?tags=At%20the%20Orpheum
The director asked that the projects be made for very young visitors to play with independently using the smart board in the museum's lobby. Perhaps you might find a use for these projects too. I would welcome comments and suggestions if you try them with children.
Regards,
Kathleen
