2011!

It's a new year!!! This year I'm going to do more learning with Enrich! We have all ready started our concept curriculum which is Interactions. Last week we went for a look to find interactions. I will update you with what I've been doing with interactions throughout the year. We have also started the chess leader board and I'm slowly creeping up it. Today I've been finding out new chess strategies and lots more.

Teacher comment

Andrew you were not only dedicated in the amount of work and new learning that you applied to your passion project which enabled you to achieve great results, but you also used a range of habits of mind on a daily basis and could discuss these and how they helped you achieve what you did with the computer games that you created. This coupled with the thorough way you recorded your changes in understanding and your progress and new learning in both your blog and keynote made your passion project an example to your peers.
Great work Andrew.

Passion Project Process

In my passion project I had to make a keynote about my process for sharing night and as a way of recording my new learning. The Enrich teachers decided to put them on our blogs. My one is about the process I went through with Atmosphir and Scratch.

Final Day!!!!!!!!

I just can't believe it's our final day of our passion projects! Today I have been doing finishing touches on my keynote because it's sharing nigh tonight! Other things we have been doing to prepare for sharing night are practising presenting our passion projects to another person. I've also been working on a new Scratch game, but it sadly didn't get finished. I've also been doing the rubric (which will be posted below). I'm sad that it is the end but very proud of myself and what I've accomplished.

Self Assessment Rubric

Since its the last day of our passion projects(sorry about the last post it was actually the second last day) we have to review how we went in our passion projects. This year five passion project rubric is how we show it. It has four categories where you highlight where you are(beginning, at and above).Then you write down how you achieved it. Then it also asks you 'What would you do differently' and 'What the teachers could change that would help next time.

Today at Enrich 17/11/10

It's the last day of our passion projects!!! Today I have finished my Scratch and Atmosphir comparison(it should be below). I've also updated my passion project process keynote to my fullest content. We had Gretchen and James come in and tell us tips on preparing for the sharing night and how to share on sharing night. I also put some extras bits onto my scratch game.

My Scratch and Atmosphir Comparison

Since I've basically finished with Scratch I decided to compare Scratch and Atmosphir. I was hoping to find a winner on which one was the better game programme but it tied. Having a tie I was a little disappointed but I'm still happy that I made the comparison.
