Blog Question - I don't think these curriculum changes are a good idea because kids at a young age change their minds quiet often. If students were to decide to get a certain certification and then decide after high school they didn't really like it, they may not be prepared to get a degree in their new interest area. The way curriculum is set up now prepares students for college no matter what subject area they want to go into. Most schools also offer students elective courses that they can take so they are able to learn more in an area that interests them.
Exit Slip - We went over some tips and tricks for Scratch so we can revise our IRLO's. Need to make sure that our IRLO is reusable. Having Sprites back in the right place when the game begins and having a variety of different questions for students to use. Make sure there are directions so students know what to do when they begin. Need to make sure students have an interactive part in the IRLO, not just watching the screen while it does something. Scratch is an easy program to use, but can be challenging to get started and figure out how to put everything together. These tips and tricks will be useful in revising my IRLO.
