Programming in Scratch 8: My Blocks
By Howlin' Husky Math Games
Hello and welcome!
Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!
I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. Scratch is a really easy to learn language to learn which makes it perfect for beginners. Block based coding looks very simple at first, but it is just as intricate as a keyed language. The difference is that coders don't need to memorize complex syntax to use it. This makes it perfect for younger kids; but it's still complex enough for older students.
This is part 8 of a semester long programming in Scratch course.
Topics:
Programming in Scratch 8: My Blocks
- What are My Blocks?
- Abstraction
- My Blocks as methods or functions
- The Backpack
- Examples
All lessons will come with the following:
a pdf slideshow
A pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student errors
an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!
an answer key in pdf form
Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.
Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.
Great for asynchronous learning and homeschooling! Could be used as a self- taught lesson or go at your own pace! Everything for learning is included!
Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!

Learning Adobe Illustrator | Distance Learning
By Innovations in Technology
The “Learning Adobe Illustrator” unit focuses on teaching novice students the basics of Adobe Illustrator through independent, project based learning. Students utilize a variety of resources to assist them in their hands-on learning of the program at their own pace. The “About Me” project allows students individual expression and creativity while learning the basic tools in the program. It also includes links to tutorials they can use as they need to complete the lesson. Next, students do three short “practice” lessons that allow them to expand their skills. Finally, they create their own CD cover, utilizing a template for correct size.
Files included with this lesson:
• Teacher Notes and Resources (includes extension activity ideas)
• About Me Project Expectations and Rubric
• Adobe Illustrator Practice Mini Lessons (3 lessons)
• Create a CD Cover Project Expectations and Rubric

Stock Portfolio in Microsoft Excel | Distance Learning
By Innovations in Technology
Learning about the Stock Market using Microsoft Excel lets middle schoolers see how an investment can grow and change, as well as the importance of thorough research. Utilizing Microsoft Excel, students “purchase” and track several stocks over a 6 week period. They have the opportunity to sell stocks or hold them, depending on the market research they do. Using a template they create in Microsoft Excel, they will track the increases and declines in their stock investments and see how much they can make their initial investment grow during the 6 weeks. This lesson is intended for beginning Excel users and was created using Microsoft Excel 2013. It is easily adaptable for different versions.
This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.
Files Included with this Unit
* Unit Overview & Pacing Guide
* Teacher & Student Resources
* 4 lessons incorporating reading, research, and creation of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to track stock purchases, gains and losses for a 6 week period (lessons include rubrics)
* Excel Templates and Samples (including all formulas)
* Tutorial for Students

Sports Themed Pixel Art in MS Excel or Google Sheets | Distance Learning
By Innovations in Technology
Need a fun way to introduce Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to upper elementary or middle school students? This great lesson lets students learn the basics of Microsoft Excel (or Google Sheets) as they create pixel art using the program. First, they'll create a quick pixel art from a given example and then they'll create their own! These are also fun lessons to use if you just need something for a one day lesson.
This sports themed collection of pixel art includes these pictures:
Bowling Pin
Golf Course
Basketball
Helmet
Ice Skate
Golf Bag and Clubs
Skateboard
Football
Trophy
Baseball and Mitt
I've used this with 7th and 8th graders who used their free time to create even more art! I hope your students have as much fun as mine did learning Excel or Google Sheets!
This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.
