This was very helpful!]]> 2020-11-11 14:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913026603 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913029799 I was very interested in the more intense projects that Tinkercad offers like building a Tinkercad house. However, I figured it was best to start with a more simple project first. I decided to go with the ruler.]]> 2020-11-11 14:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913029799 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913036382 I was really happy to see that the instructions on the left side of the screen were set up in the same way that the tutorials were. I knew I could do this with explicit instructions. This would be great for students who wanted to try something on their own.]]> 2020-11-11 14:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913036382 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913054854 The tutorial really helped as I knew where to find all of the needed materials. I am still not sure what changing the snap grid does but steps 1-3 were pretty easy. The second step was to make the box. It helped once I figured out that I could manually input the dimensions rather than drag. Same for the cylinder.]]> 2020-11-11 15:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913054854 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913068149 The last step of #4 is to copy and paste the cylinders to the orange outline. I could not find any orange outline. I then realized that my shapes were not lined up. I decided that I had gained a ltitle more understanding of the concept and wanted to start from scratch. I could have gone back and went through every direction again to see if I could figure it out but I decided back to the start it was.]]> 2020-11-11 15:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913068149 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913086646 Things went much more smooth this time. I was finally able to see the cylinder outlines when I moved the view box around. I realized how important it was to actually zoom in and out and change viewpoints. ]]> 2020-11-11 15:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913086646 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913126191 It took me a long time to get the roof into the orange outline. I would approach it from one angle and think I got it. But really it wasn't anywhere close. ]]> 2020-11-11 15:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913126191 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913153749 The copy and paste tool made this very easy. I just had to change some sizes but they all went into their place easily this time.]]> 2020-11-11 15:26:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913153749 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913219742 I messed something up along the way where all of the little roofs are not even.]]> 2020-11-11 15:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913219742 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913245701 My ruler is by no means perfect and would definitely require some work. My tick marks are not lining up which caused a problem. Overall though for my first try not too bad!]]> 2020-11-11 15:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913245701 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913253466 I attempted both the time capsule and superhero costumes but realized I'm not quite ready for those kind of projects yet. I completed the tutorials (the starters that Dr. Oliver recommended) and the somewhat easy (still made lots of mistakes) ruler. I decided this project I would focus on the basics as if I was a student learning this for the first time (which I am).]]> 2020-11-11 15:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913253466 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913414760 This project is split into five lessons focusing on the most important parts of Tinkercad.]]> 2020-11-11 16:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913414760 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913416750 I immediately felt better about this one. It had a great description and included images that some of the other projects did not. This lesson was great. I learned different theories and why certain tools did what they did. It was a great introductory lesson. If I were to have my students do this, I would have them take to fill in the blank notes during the lesson and then spend the rest of the class simply exploring what they learned from that individual lesson. ]]> 2020-11-11 16:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913416750 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913455263 This lesson was super simple but a great way to introduce and practice our skills. I had to follow a "scavenger hunt" to find the words using the navigation viewbox. ]]> 2020-11-11 16:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913455263 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913466092 I learned a lot in this lesson related to math. We talked about translations, scales, and how to use your hand for the x, y, and z axis. ]]> 2020-11-11 16:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913466092 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913496039 This skill is where I really struggled when I attempted the time capsule. I know how to group but I could not figure out how to move the group objects once they were grouped. This lesson was very helpful as we built two different objects -- a heart and a house. I can see how this will help immensely in the other more difficult projects.]]> 2020-11-11 16:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913496039 mjmeadows19 https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913535323 The final lesson really put everything together. I was able to create a tower/castle. This is a great introductory project. It was not easy and introduced all of the needed terms to complete any Tinkercad assignment.]]> 2020-11-11 17:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mjmeadows19/ou2bq3r5dh4t77me/wish/913535323
