Curriculum build: Appmaker for Canadian educators #105

Closed keyboardkat closed 9 years ago

keyboardkat commented 9 years ago

Goal: Build a teaching kit that aggregates Appmaker activities useful for Canadian educators for a CIRA granted project. Format will be in Github pages, but Thimble friendly.

Sections to include, from @smithisgeneric:

Learning objectives
Interlinked activities to teach web literacy skills
Template for remix to meet Canadian educators needs (i.e. "remix" button and contextualization of some examples of curriculum/programming links in Canada)
Links to user priorities (user research outputs) from hackathon in Toronto. Summary report here.

Deadline for first draft of curriculum: Jan 28

Activities to include:

Mobile design kit
Appmaker music tutorial ( @smithisgeneric do you have a link for this? can't find on site)
Becky's cat tutorial (@smithisgeneric, do you have a link for this?)
Choose your own adventure logic pathway by @LauraHilliger

Would love suggestions from @iamjessklein @secretrobotron @flukeout @pomax if they've found anything else recently.

While activity was hot, I was compiling stuff in this gallery: https://webmaker.org/gallery/list/53fe24bc21d4817b6c000aad

Might be helpful for now. I'll have a look around though!

adding @LauraReynal who might have input as to how we can tweak some of the templates based on her user testing work. Laura has been using the Mobile Design Kit to facilitate her research on mobile Webmaker.

@smithisgeneric requesting initial feedback on teaching kit draft: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/appmakeredkit (think i got most of the sections here, but please let me know what i've missed!)

keyboardkat commented 9 years ago

Update: Teaching kit now live at https://keyboardkat.makes.org/thimble/MTEzODQyNjExMg==/appmaker-for-educators-teaching-kit

Finishing today and tomorrow. If useful, can also port raw code to Github in case future users want to remix elsewhere, outside of Thimble.

Great! Thanks Kat, looking good. Was going to ask on the status of this but glad you'll have it finished this week. :)

PS Love the main image. Where's that from?

keyboardkat commented 9 years ago

Thanks Dr @dajbelshaw! :) TBH, I have no idea where img from at this point - have had it on my various computers forever!

@smithisgeneric have now updated side bar images for both printable resources and CIRA acknowledgement. let me know if these work? other than that, kit should be ready for you to transfer to Hive Toronto account: https://keyboardkat.makes.org/thimble/MTEzODQyNjExMg==/appmaker-for-educators-teaching-kit

Paging @smithisgeneric to see if this make is now on the Hive Toronto account?
