I learned from this activity that it's a little tricky because you could only put dots one at a time and they don't really let you go where you want them to. Another thing is that if you make a mistake you have to go back and forth between the X and the colors.
What would make this easier is if there were more colors to choose from and let us adjust the size of the dots. I would also have liked it if we were able to put the dots where we want them to go.

1.) I learned that sometimes you just need to improvise! As much as I wanted to re create the classic pac-man, there was only so much I could do. I made it work and more then anything had fun :)
2.) In my opinion, this would have been easier if you could have a variety of size options for the dots and if you could slide the dots down instead of doing one by one.
3.) My art!

1. I learned some focus and patience to make a car

2. I would make this activity easier if the was shape like circle or square to make the car faster make it than going one by one

Don't vote for this one, it's an example post from a past student.

1. I learned that it is okay to make mistakes and not be perfect, this took me a few times to be okay with and accept that it won't be perfect.
2. I think it might be easier to have more color options as well as size of dots. An ability to see the grid would also be nice, as you feel limited to what you can do and see with it being all black.

1) I learned that I had to take the time to brainstorm what I was going to make and just be able to make it work somehow without thinking about it too much because I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

2) I feel like it would have been easier if there were more colors and options to make the size big or small.

3) Don't vote for this one, it's an example of the WINNER from Fall 2023.

1, I learned about this Lite Brite Game; never knew there was a website of Lite-Brite. I do remember having a Lite-Brite set as a kid. For some reason I had a hard time trying to remember what Lite Brites were for a while.

2, What would have made this activity easier is if I knew what to draw first. I had a really hard time trying to figure out what to make and then finally decided on what to draw.

1: I learned that in order for an image to look more realistic it requires two different shades of the same color to be applied to create a shading or outline effect.

2: This activity would have been easier if the pegs could be placed above one another like they can horizontally.

1) One thing that I learned from this activity is to get out of my head and do what comes naturally.

2)I think this activity would have been easier if there was more colors to work with. Also if the grid was bigger or the dots were smaller.

One thing I learned from this activity is how quickly I can create something when I have instructions but also freewill to create what I want.
I think this activity could've been easier with more variety of colors and I had trouble placing the dots but was able to change the color incase I messed up.

I learned that coming up with an idea to create a picture was difficult as it was up to the user to come up with an image. It was also tricky to navigate using lite bright on the phone as there were no instructions.
What would have made it easier is having the students recreate a drawing or have instructions on how to work with the lite brite website.

1) One thing that I learned from this is that there is always room for improvement, and that a lot can be done in such a short amount of time even with minimal brainstorming.

2)I think this activity would've been easier if we had maybe an extra 5 minutes to brainstorm, and if Lite Brite allowed drawing in straight lines compared to constantly pressing dots.

1) I learned that sometimes ambitions that you envision don't always translate one to one in practice, and that it sometimes that requires learning and practice to better show what you've envisioned.

2) This activity would've been easier if there were more colors to work with, tools to use, the pegs were smaller, the game was more responsive (There were times when I would click and it wouldn't place a peg), and if the pegs were arranged differently (like pixel art). However I also believe these restrictions can actually foster creativity as it forces you to be more resourceful with the tools available to you.

I learned that sometimes you just need to use your imagination and improvise and just let the flow go.
It would of made it easier if the dots came in sizes and or more colors.
I used my sons birthday party as my art because I made his birthday party of his favorite team the LA DODGERS !

#1. I learned that creating a pixel drawing is more difficult then drawing w/ a pencil and paper. It took longer to compete the drawing.

#2 Brainstorming and preplanning would have made it easier for me to come up with a drawing. It was a little hard to start off not knowing what to draw.

1) From this activity, I learned that building/making things takes patience. I have to be patient with things for them to come out great in the end.

2) Having an idea of what i'd draw already and being able to complete the drawing in strokes would be much easier.

1) From this activity, I learned I like to take my time on tasks/assignments. I would rather take a long time getting it done correctly instead of rushing it wrong. 2) Something that would be easier if the website had a bigger eraser or undo button instead of just doing it one by one.
