In this last week we are learning to use codes using the "Khan Academy" platform. Khan Academy offers practice drills, tutorials and a personalized learning dashboard that allows students to learn at their own pace, both inside and outside the classroom.

In this post we will explain our work, show our projects and prove what we learnt.
First of all we created a new account synchronizing the gmail account with this platform. Then we watch a video that told us how to create forms and paint throw codes.
We think that this website, will teach us how to program in a good way,interactive and easy. However we will never become experts,because it is not so sophisticated, we will be close enough.
The Challenges:
Now we are going to talk about the challenges we have completed. Using the scrips, which we had learned with Khan Academy, we painted a snowman.
So was the process:
The Projects:
Although the Challenges was´t easy we were expected to make a bigger effort. He had to do our projects: We had to choose between painting a wild animal, a self portrait or a super snowman.
This is how our projects look like:
You can see the complete project including scripts here:
What have we learned?
First of all I recommend watching these videos, to get introduced to the topic.
Some important concepts:
Background:
The background is used to to give a color to the project. To create the Background you need to write a specific code: background(r,g,b);. The r is the amount of red. The g is the amount of green and the b is the amount of blue.
Point:
The point is used for example to build an eye (the iris). the code of the point is: point(x, y);. The x is the x-coordinate of the point (it moves to the left or to the right).
Rectangle:
The rectangle is used for example to draw hair. To create a rect you need to write this code: rect(x, y, width, height, radius);. The x is the x-coordinate of the top left corner. The y is the y-coordinate of the top left corner. The width is the width of the rectangle. The height is the height of the rectangle and last but not least the radius is the radius of the corners, to round the rectangle (do not forget that the radius is optional).
Our Profiles:
Last but not least, we´ll share our profiles with you. We are not going to present ourselves, because we already did it in an older post, so we let you the link to that post.
