Results of the second teacher Skype meeting in November 2018

  • Results of the teachers‘ Skype conference on 14 November 2018

    Participants: Raquel, Inma, Jose, Susanne, Marte, Halvor, Gisle, Peter, Christoph, Jochen

     

    1. Dissemination
    • Raquel suggested to spread the results of the project and progresses not only on the e-twinning page but also on facebook and Instagram
    • Raquel will start a facebook page for the project
    • The contents of the files called “project results” and “dissemination” will be used for facebook
    • We will also post blogs on twitter, everybody can do that
    • with a facebook account all contents can be spread on Instagram automatically
    • if one person at each school is responsible for that it is easy to shovel contents from the e-twinning page to facebook

     

    1. CAD
    • The Spanish use tinkerCAD for the CAD applications because it is easy to use and easy to learn and an open source software – better for students than ‘inventor’ and free
    • Raquel sent a link for a tutorial to the conference partners
    • The Norwegians use ‘solid edge’
    • All partners agree that will check how CAD can be done with tinkerCAD, they are sure that it is compatible with and can be translated into their own CAD program
    • The Spanish are making a tutorial on tinkerCAD for Arduino
    1. Coding or block programming
    • Inma asks whether the others want to use block programming or coding, they use ‘Snap4’ and it works well
    • The Germans say that they originally want to do coding but not in the next months
    • Halvor from Norway said that they will try out what is better, block programming or blocks
    • Peter asked whether it can be used for problem solving and Inma said that ‘Snap4’ cannot be used for that
    • The participants agree that they will start with blocks, then change to programming by lines
    1. Hardware
    • Halvor asked about the hardware, the Norwegians are using the hardware kit R3
    • The Spanish don’t mind working with all kinds of kits, they work similarly
    • The Spanish think, at the beginning you don’t need a whole robot vehicle assembled, it is enough to work with parts
    • Jose thinks it is good to start with some parts, like lights on or off, and not with the whole car
    1. Sensors
    • Peter said that next week he would deal with sensors with the students in Germany and present some solutions of problems in pdf-files on e-twinning
    1. Ideas for the robot

    - For example: solutions for a robot arm, the students get a pool of solutions and can discuss and use them
