Last night was lots of fun! After our discussion and followup from last week, I started in the group for building the roller coaster. The design process was very fun! I had a little difficulty hearing Megan and the Brain Pop Roller Coaster lesson at the same time. Still, I was able to create a roller coaster. Of course, I was very disappointed when I came to the end and crashed through the barrier. Then I did not have time to fix my roller coaster before I was put into Minecraft with Colin's group.
In Colin's group I was a little lost at first. I think I was at the wrong roller coaster. Once Colin moved me I was fine. I was able to find the height at the base of the roller coaster. Colin helped me figure this one out. I get frustrated when I feel like I am not playing an active role in the group so I was glad that Colin was able to help me get involved. Thanks! Just when I feel like I am getting better at Minecraft I find out I have so much to learn!
The next group I worked with was Chip's group. This group was also fun. I liked that the graph allowed the user to see the way energy was exchanged. Very cool! We also had a fun dicussion in Chip's group. I still think it was fun to crash the skateboarder into the house.
After class was over I went back and worked a bit more on my roller coaster because I just couldn't sign off for the evening without achieving success. My daughter walked over and pointed to where I needed to change my roller coaster and sure enough she was right! This was after me trying to fix it for about 10 minutes. In all fairness my daugher built a roller coaster for her 4th grade class a few years ago; I think she had an unfair advantage. :) Either way, I had a great time in class last night.
