Reflection 1, June 1, 2010

Frogger! What better way to start off our week. I think this initial exercise went well. It was simple enough for a first time user, especially one with no computer science or programming experience. I'm excited for the opportunity to teach this to our middle school camp participants.

Reflection 2, June 2, 2010

Space invaders was definitely challenging. The tutorial did a great job at walking me through the bulk of this assignment. I then struggled with the "method" concepts. It became clearer once explained to me one-on-one by an instructor. This will be key if/when teaching this concept to other students.

Reflection 3, June 3, 2010

Sims started out great. I liked working as a group, step-by-step, with an equally inexperienced student leading us on the projector. The activity after lunch, where we brainstormed about the learning concepts that worked, didn't work and what lessons we can take home with us, was very helpful. More Sims after this activity was challenging but I'm starting to feel like a "programmer"... although a very inexperienced one.
