Year 10 Friday Work

Ahi ahi marie, Year 10!

Your job today is to prepare for an activity we will do next week.
If you search my blog (this website) for "shark" you will find a shark story.
We will be making a quick video to tell this story next week using PhotoStory.
Your job today is to read the story and find pictures to tell it. You will need to save them in your home drive - make a folder called shark images in your multimedia folder to put them in to.
You will need pictures of high resolution - you can tell by looking at the file size.
Some images will be blocked - I wonder why?

PS you may like to draw some images of you own in either Paint or Art Rage. This is fine, but you will not have time to do the whole video this way.

Ethics

When you have finished your first project to the best of your ability, do these tasks.

1. Make a Word document to start with. Find a definition of ethics that make sense to you. Add the URL where you got it from.
2. Research The “Heinz dilemma” in Wikipedia and read the story. What do you think he should do and why? Write a paragraph explaining your decision and the reasons for it.
3. Find and read Kohlberg’s stages of moral development. Which stage do you think you are at and why? Write a paragraph about this.
4. Make a presentation using Power Point or Photostory that explains EITHER the Heinz story and the different levels of response OR a different ethical issue of your own choice. Be as creative as you can with graphics and sound and animation. Remember to acknowledge your sources of both information and images. You may use headphones but must return them tidily to the container at the end of the period.
5. If you complete all this work, have a look at career options at FutureInTech or Career Stories.

Colour - an on-going saga

I have just spent half an hour or so working through my PowerPoint presentations that I used to teach HTML in 2008. The first purpose was to find the website that I used about colour schemes - I love this one. The second benefit is that I now have my HTML teaching sequence compressed into one presentation - much more useful than having a sequence of presentations called Term Two Week One and so on!

So now my next step for colour is Color Theory Lesson 2

Deskchecking

As part of your assessment you will need to perform a deskcheck. To find out more about the Whys and Hows of deskchecking, use Topic 6 of the Visual Basic Moodle course. You don't necessarily need to do all the examples but you do need to convince me that you can deskcheck from pseudocode, and that you know how to deal with loops.
