Comics, Cartoons, and Coding #SVatHome Comics, Cartoons, and Coding Have a Question? Want to share your project or results with us? Reach out [email protected] @ScienceVenture Scratch Publishing & Additional Resources Campers will learn how to publish your Scratch projects for others to view and share. Check out a bunch of additional resources to further your Scratch exploration. Materials Safety Considerations ● Computer with internet access ● When creating a scratch account, ensure you are doing so with parental approval and supervision. Key Words & Concepts This lesson builds off of the previous lessons from Comics, Cartoons, and Coding.. Please review those lessons and it’s concepts for further context. Scratch: a free block-based visual computer programming language and website. Users can create online projects using the block-like interface. Here are some common features of a Scratch program: ● Sprites: objects in our scene. They can be characters or props. Each sprite has its own script. ● Blocks: they control what the sprites and the backdrop do. They are used to code the behaviour of our characters. They can be attached together to make a list of instructions for a sprite to follow. ● Script: a list of instructions written using the blocks Some of the categories of Blocks: ● Motion: blocks that control the movement of the sprite ● Looks: blocks that control what costume your sprite is wearing, whether the sprite is visible, and the size of your sprite ● Events: These must start every piece of code in order for it to run. ● Control: these help your sprite wait or repeat pieces of code Scratch Publishing Account Creation To share a project to the public on Scratch, you will first need to create an account. Visit https://scratch.mit.edu/ and select Join Scratch. Follow the steps to create your account and finish this process by confirming your email address (necessary for publishing your projects). After you have confirmed you account’s email, head to your project and select share. Fill in all necessary information sections to add the finishing touches to your project. Privacy When Publishing to Scratch Do not include any identifying information about yourself in your project. Keep your privacy safe! Before sharing your Scratch project, make sure it doesn’t include: ● Your full name ● Where you live ● Your birthday ● Any other private information ● Scratch has a great function where you can “remix” other’s work and make your own version of their project. This means you can make a copy of the project and edit the code. Remember to be respectful when creating a new version of other people's’ work. Additional Resources Use this list of resource for you to expand your exploration of Scratch for further projects.

    Supporting candidates learning from home to prepare for computer-based practical tests Supporting candidates learning from home to prepare for the practical tests in Cambridge IGCSE ICT (0417), Cambridge IGCSE (9–1) ICT (0983) and Cambridge International A Level IT (9626) We understand that many centres and candidates are facing challenging times, and that some centres are having to teach practical IT skills remotely. Practical IT skills are a vital part of our IT syllabuses. We assess these skills through formal tests under controlled conditions. To maintain the integrity of the tests, and the value of our qualifications for students, we encourage centres to teach the full syllabus content, whether remotely or face to face. There are currently no adaptations to the practical skills requirements for March or June 2021. However, we understand that candidates do not always have access to proprietary (non-free) software that is licensed through their centre. This may be a significant barrier to candidates practising practical IT skills at home. Using the centre’s licensed software Where candidates are learning remotely, we recommend that you first check your software licences to see if they If your school currently uses proprietary software, you allow candidates to use the software on their home may find that one of the free/open source alternatives computers. Some centres have academic licences that allow listed in the tables on this factsheet allows candidates to this. Other centres are setting up remote access to their practise their skills at home.

    IJAEDU- International E-Journal of Advances in Education, Vol. 3, Issue 8, August 2017 TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEARNING ASSISTED BY FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE Vikas Rao Naidu1*, Baldev Singh2, Raya Ali Al Harrasi3, Haleema Hassan Al Balushi4 1Mr., Middle East College, Oman, [email protected] 2Dr., Vivekananda Institute of Technology, India, [email protected] 3Ms., Middle East College, Oman, [email protected] 4Ms., Middle East College, Oman, [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract The education system of the present day has undergone a great revolution, with the enhancement of education technology. Especially in the higher education sector, IT is playing a vital role in the advancement of teaching and learning practices. Most of the educational organizations have already adopted smart learning environment by upgrading their infrastructure and with proper capacity building among staff members. But in the education sector, sustainability of technology is always being a challenge. To develop learning materials, many institutions have already started using free and open source software (FOSS) tools. FOSS gives freedom to the developer with the provision of various customization options as per the requirements of the class or subject. Moreover, in the longer run, free and open source software could be considered as the best option in education for e-learning implementation, for sustainability. There are many tools which are available for e-learning resource development. Some of them are available online and some are available as an installer for the various platform. In order to adapt ICT in education, especially in non-IT specialization, the faculty members need the training to learn and implement these tools in their classes.

  • Animate with Easy-To-Use and Free Pencil2d Software
    White Paper Animate with Easy-to-Use and Free Pencil2D Software Use Pencil2D to quickly create animated videos Summary: There are many 2D animation products available. Some are complicated and have GUIs that are crowded with dozens of tiny items that require training for even basic operations. Also, some products are expensive. In contrast, Pencil2D is simple yet highly capable. It enables users to complete all animation steps, including sketching, drawing line art, and painting, and do so in an easy and straightforward way. Additionally, it is free, open source, and cross-platform. These are some of the reasons why it meets the needs of many users in its well-established and active user community. White Paper Introduction There are numerous software products available for creating 2D animation. However, some of these products are complicated to use and have GUIs that are crowded with an overwhelming number of small tools, icons, controls, options, settings, and labels. Attempting to perform even basic operations in these applications can be frustrating and require a significant amount of training. Also, some of these products are expensive, costing hundreds of dollars a year. Pencil2D is an alternative to these types of products, since it is simple, easy-to-use, free, and open source. With Pencil2D you are able to focus on creating great animation instead of trying to figure out how to use a tool. Also, Pencil2D is highly capable, so you can use it for all animation steps, including sketching, drawing line art, and painting. Additionally, in it you can manipulate frames that contain your artwork in a timeline, control a camera’s view of these frames, and output animated videos.

Definition An animation is the illusion of movement created by showing a series of still pictures in rapid succession. In the world of computers, graphic software used to create this effect. Simple animation may be as basic as an animated gif file like the image shown on this page. A more complex animation could be of a human or alien face in a computer software game or animation of a space battle in a movie. The manipulation of electronic images by means of a computer in order to create moving images. 2 1 6/6/2017 Animation precedes the invention of photography and the cine camera by several decades. It is an art form in which a world of dynamic image and sound may be synthesised completely out of nothing but a thought. Animation is 100% artifice, and as such, the synthesis of movement through the sequential use of small fragments of time, which gives rise to this wondrous illusion, is open to manipulation in extraordinary ways. Animation has the capacity to entertain, exaggerate, simplify, abstract, reveal complex processes, clarify difficult-to- understand concepts, visualise data, be a vehicle for humorous writing, sell product, be an art form, create slapstick sight gags, be a vehicle for insightful social comment, portray the human condition, and tackle difficult and uncomfortable subject manner. 3 Animation of shape and weight in falling Objects by a simple method 4 2 6/6/2017 SOFTWARES 1.
