Revision as of 05:21, 23 January 2008

Please feel welcome to leave comments here. Feedback is always welcomed and appreicated.


Some of my notes left on other pages:


Calculate Activity

I don't have any examples. When I first got my G1G1 I tested the Boolean functions (see my notes on the Calculate talk page). I tried to use the calculator and was confused because I couldn't find any documentation of what it actually does (especially the window on the right). I am quite pleased to find that it does plot! There are also questions as to whether this activity can work with the Pippy activity, somehow.

The people who can best help here are, unfortunately, those who don't have laptops -- the teachers in the schools. I know my kids did a lot of work with plotting when they were in high school. Simple X-Y plotting probably happens in 5-6th grade here in the US (I'm in New England, down the street from Dartmouth College).

Right now I'm working on the Measure/Oscilloscope activity, trying to prevent people from electrocuting themselves. If I come up with anything I'll let you know. (I've posted some things on the wikipedia website about division by zero -- see the talk page there near the bottom). That seems to be a topic that gets people going.

Thanks for the feedback. I just recently tried the 'Distance' Activity with another person on a jabber server I was visiting. For some reason, the measurement didn't work over very long distances. *heh Heh*. I'll look for some good examples of division by zero for ya too. :) --IainD 12:16, 1 January 2008 (EST)
