Save your pictures (by posting the link here in the 'Comments' section, also including your name)! This way Ms. Eveleigh will know which one your group was working on!

Pixelator Cooperative Art
http://www.pixelator.co/

Cooperative Art Must-Sees
(Make sure to start off with a blank canvas - only share the URL code with your partners and yourself!)

1. Based on your group (2-3 people) talk through which each other about what each of you will be doing. It's helpful to decide who's going to paint with a certain colour!
2. Each section must tie together with whatever theme or message your group is trying to show. For example, if your theme is 'Dragonball Z', make sure each section ties into a Dragonball Z picture!
3. Make sure to include your names or initials on your work!

For those struggling with ideas, I've attached some below! I've even attached one I made myself! ]]> 2018-10-31 15:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299042762 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299043434 2018-10-31 15:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299043434 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299043784 2018-10-31 15:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299043784 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299043917 2018-10-31 15:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299043917 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299044068 2018-10-31 15:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299044068 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299044230 2018-10-31 15:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299044230 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299044874 2018-10-31 15:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299044874 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/299047206 If you're finished your Pixel Art  early, you're welcome to use any of the following sites to create some music that will be sent to Ms. Tjoe-A-Long (and maybe showcased for the school at a later date)! This is OPTIONAL, which means it's not for marks, but can be played in music class (and even possibly at our class assembly later in the year)! Some of my students even make ringtones for their cell phones using these

Have fun!

GOOGLE MUSIC (Easy)
Make your own composition, hit the 'Share' button, and post it in here in the 'Comments' section!
https://www.google.com/logos/2017/fischinger/fischinger17.html

BEATBOXING (Easy)
This site is an introduction to online music making (through beatboxing). There's four separate games linked here, two of which can only be recorded and posted here in the 'Comments' section!

ELF JAMBAND (Easy)
You can mix and match to make their own tune, then click 'Share' and post it in here in the 'Comments' section!
https://santatracker.google.com/jamband.html

DRUM BEAT CREATOR (Medium)
This is just for creating background beats; very simplistic and easy to use. Needs Chrome or Flash to function! Create a background beat, save it, and attach it here!

ORBIT SAMPLER (Hard)
This is just like the drum beat machine, but more complex. Have fun with it! Attach samples of your work here in the comments section (our on your own post on this padlet)!

It will teach you how to tell a computer to execute certain commands, including (very important) sequences and loops!

Play through each of the three levels, learning about...

Level 1 - How to input commands to a computer
Level 2 - How to create a 'pattern' or 'procedure' in order to better solve a problem (using less commands for the computer to read, which makes programs load faster and be more efficient)
Level 3 - How to 'loop' patterns, making a 'repeating procedure' line that never, ever ends! This is useful for solving very complex problems (or making your character make a lot of moves over and over)

Go to the following website on your Chromebooks. You will need to 'enable' or 'allow' flash to run after you click on the website link!

Lightbot Hour http://lightbot.com/flash.html

For the teacher-in-charge, Mr. Giraldi will e-mail you a set of answers to help you with Lightbot. Remember that there are multiple ways to solve these problems, although the shorter way in code-making is usually the best of whatever options are available.

If you beat the final level (Level 3-6) you're ready for a bonus (and more difficult) coding activity! It's an interactive adventure called Spritebox that requires more advanced coding/pattern-making to 'hack' the game as you go and complete each level! Mr. Giraldi's tech experts will direct you to this activity after you show them your solution to Level 3-6!

Go to the following link...

...and build an elf, make a Christmas band, shave Santa's beard, get in a snow ball fight, deliver presents with a jetpack on, make a dance routine... *trails off*

There's so much to do! Have fun! Please 'share' some of your creations in the comments section below! Mr. G's Grade 3 students will show you how to do that. ]]> 2018-12-13 12:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/314216796 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/sketchtoy/wish/318829144 We'll be using the following website...

https://www.canva.com/

...to create a work of art for Ms. Eveleigh! You'll need to sign up (you can use your student Google e-mail), and then click 'Desktop Wallpaper'. Make sure to only select designs that are marked as 'Free'! It will save all your work online! When you're done, you can 'download' a picture of your work, or 'share' a link (make sure others can't edit it) and post it in the comments below!

An example will be attached below! Don't forget that you can use our student galleries to 'upload' and use photos we've used before!

You can use these sites (and your coding knowledge taken from Lightbot and Spritebox pattern-making and looping) to make either a story or a videogame. Even better, we'll be able to play these in class (hopefully sent around to each teacher following completion of the Week of Code). Follow the instructions carefully...

STEP ONE
Go to any of these websites (choose your favourite style), and choose one of three themes to work with!

1. Minecraft Designer
https://studio.code.org/s/minecraft/stage/1/puzzle/1

2. Star Wars Designer
https://studio.code.org/s/starwarsblocks/stage/1/puzzle/1

3. Frozen Designer
https://studio.code.org/s/frozen/stage/1/puzzle/1

4. Maze Designer
https://studio.code.org/hoc/1

5. Disney Infinity Designer
https://studio.code.org/s/infinity/stage/1/puzzle/1

6. Classical Play Lab Designer
https://studio.code.org/s/playlab/stage/1/puzzle/1

7. Gumball Designer
https://studio.code.org/s/gumball/stage/1/puzzle/1

8. Ice Age Designer
https://studio.code.org/s/iceage/stage/1/puzzle/1

9. Artist (Sketch) Designer
https://studio.code.org/s/artist/stage/1/puzzle/1

STEP TWO
Watch the Hour of Code introduction video!

STEP THREE
Work through the levels; once you've got a good grasp of the fundamentals of coding (the coding we're doing today is called 'Javascript' coding), move to the final level. From there, you'll be creating a free-form story or video game!

STEP FOUR
When you've finished your story/video game short, click 'Run', and then 'Finish'. You'll be provided with a video link of your completed product. Copy that link, and turn it in here! You can even 'turn in' half-completed work to save it here (for editing later)!
