Hi Vinesh,

I have just tried to upload my task 2 (part 2) but there is no drop box available to attach my files. I have applied for an extension (8th of June), but now that the normal due date has passed, there is nowhere that I can submit my task.

I have also recorded my oral presentation via Zoom, and this has converted into an MP4 file. I am unsure of how to find the link and password for this recording; however, the video has been saved (I can upload this file into special media if the link is unattainable). If you have any advice on how this can be retrieved, please let me know.

This is just an FYI for those struggling with zoom camera settings - I thought I had all my settings in place, but shoutout to a comment down below on here. Make sure you have "Record thumbnails when sharing" switched on and saved. This was my issue when my face wouldn't show.

Hi Vinesh,

I have just completed my recording and I am happy with the result. However, I realised that I forgot to switch to the reference list slide at the end.

I remember you mentioned that we could also include the reference list in the Part A PDF document, so I just wanted to double-check whether this would be acceptable.

Thank you!

Hi Vinesh, sorry if this has been asked already, for content descriptors - does it matter if the chosen descriptor is from K&U or P&PS? or should we choose 1 from both?

Can I do my presentation about coding with Cubetto?

# data[].attributes.body
One possible solution for recording without showing your face! if you still cannot record both the shared screen and the presenter at the same time after following the steps, check whether “Advanced cloud recording settings - Record thumbnails when sharing” is selected.

Hi Vinesh. Are we able to target a different year level in Part B as to what our activity was designed for in Part A, or do they need to line up?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh, Do we no longer need to include the audio transcript file in our submission?

Thanks

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh. If our activity is asking the students to create something in particular in Scratch for example, if we watch some YouTube videos that show how to do it as inspiration for the activity design and as part of our researching, should we include these in the reference list even if we aren't explicitly citing them?

Hi Vinesh. I wanted to make some assumptions about the school location so I could include a local indigenous resource (local to my home town), is this okay? I would find this useful for future practice. Thanks

Hi Vinesh,

In the task sheet it says to discuss 'activities' plural. How many activities should we discuss? I am also currently using bee/blue bots and discussing one activity with them, is this correct?

Thanks :)

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh, in week 9, I remember there was a question about recording your voice on Blue Bot. You can actually record your voice in the Mac app to move the bot forward, backward, etc. So it is possible, however, you have to feed the voice commands in before you start moving the Blue Bot on the mat.

I have tried record on Zoom multiple times, have it set to record my face. But then After its been done and processed. I don't see it on the recordings.

Hi Vinesh,

As the task asks us to imagine that we are in a staff meeting, should our tone reflect that context? For example, when discussing how technologies can be applied in classroom teaching, would it be appropriate to present this as a recommendation (e.g., “I recommend using this technology… For example, we could implement it by…”)?

Thanks for your help!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh, I'm a student who needed to retake this course. I recall that last year it was compulsory to record your face in the Zoom call. When I look over the task description and watched the recorded presentation, there is no explicit mention that when I do a zoom recording that the face recording needs to be included.

Do I still need to record my face?

Can I use an existing Bee Bot activity from Digital Technologies Hub in my presentation? Using it as an example of an activity the Bee-Bot can do and is readily available for teachers to access, crediting and referencing Digital Technologies Hub appropriately?

Dear Vinesh and Nicholas,

I just have a quick question about the Journal article of "Lessons in persistence: Investigating the challenges faced by Lessons in persistence: Investigating the challenges faced by preservice teachers in teaching coding and computational preservice teachers in teaching coding and computational thinking in an unfamiliar context".

In the “Five-Step Process for Developing Conceptual Understandings,” would using an actual Bee-Bot be considered Step 3? I initially thought it might be Step 2 because it is a physical object and does not require the use of software; however, Steps 1 and 2 are described as “without technology,” so I’m unsure how to interpret this.

Thank you for your time.

Hi, can I use AI to create a map for my blue-bot activity? Thanks!

Hi,

Are we required to have a PowerPoint slide for a reference list in our video presentation? If so, am I able to just quickly show this at the end so that the marker can see it if needed?

Thanks!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh, just checking video length - the following is at the top of the task sheet - does this mean we can go up to 7 minutes? Part 2: Video (5-6 minutes +/- 1 minute)

# data[].attributes.body
To record a screen share with the presenter video log into zoom using your QUT account on your internet browser. Go into the settings and then recordings. Update settings to "record active speaker with shared screen" and turn on audio transcript. Save settings. You can then use the zoom app to do your meeting and it will work. I wasn't able to access these settings just in the app even though I was logged in with QUT credentials.

Hi Vinesh,

I know this has already been discussed, but just to confirm my understanding - When you say we are only responding to one content descriptor from the curriculum in our task, does that mean only one descriptor code? Or does it mean the codes within one achievement standard aspect? Sorry to be a pain.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Vinesh and Nicholas,

I just wanted to clarify the curriculum alignment for my Bee-Bot activity.

I initially thought it aligns with data representation, as students will be using symbols and representing and interpreting data.

However, I noticed that the Digital Technologies Hub links Bee-Bot activities to AC9TDI2K01 (digital systems).

I was wondering if this is because students are interacting with an actual robot as a digital system.

If I adapt the activity to be unplugged (e.g. using direction cards and a physical mat without Bee-Bot), would it then be more appropriate to align it with data representation instead?

I just want to make sure I am aligning my activity with the most appropriate content descriptor.

Thank you!

Hello,

The question on the task description "Connect the choice of pedagogy and technology with the literature" are we simply finding sources that support our chosen pedagogy?

Thankyou

Hi,

Can we use PPT to record ourselves and the presentation? I believe it achieves the same goal as Zoom.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, I can't remember if this was uploaded or coming, just trying to get my recording done - is there a 'how to' on using zoom etc? Sorry if I have missed this somewhere

Hi Vinesh and Nicholas,

Do we need to include an actual coding activity (like the Ferris Wheel coding activity we had in week 8's tutorial) when we explain how the coding app is used in the activity? Considering that we only have 5-6 minutes, I'm just wondering whether we need to go into details on for example how a coding product is created.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh and Nicholas, just checking where the references for Part B go - just on the powerpoint slide that is displayed in our recording? Or should we include a proper list on Part B of the word template as well?

Also do you need a copy of powerpoint slides uploaded for Part B ?

Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh and Nicholas, are we able to use Scratch as the example of our coding app that we will talk about? Thankyou.

# data[].attributes.body
when it said "Explain how the identified technology works (e.g., a coding app) and how it will be used in the activity". Is it the activity in part 1?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh and Nicholas, Do we also have to be visible while presenting the oral presentation? I have done the recording, but unfortunately, my audio is there, but my face is not visible. Is it acceptable?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Vinesh and Nicholas, is there an expected or minimum number of references to be used in Part B?
