The goal of this "worksheet" is getting familiar with the FERTILE Community Platform (CP). The FERTILE CP is the meeting point for teachers interested in creating educational projects that foster Computational Thinking by combining Educational Robotics (ER) and Arts. The FERTILE CP will help you contact other teachers and collaborate with them in the design of novel FERTILE Artful ER projects (we will refer to them as "FERTILE designs" or simply "Designs") following the so-called "FERTILE Design Methodology". Are you ready to try it?
This worksheet will guide you, step by step, through the main functionalities of the CP, showcasing how to use it to contact other teachers, talk to them, co-create new educational designs, and share those designs with your students.
This worksheet is structured in several phases, each one corresponding to the main functionalities of the CP. In each phase, you will be asked to complete a set of steps in the CP aimed at creating a sample educational scenario. When you complete all the steps of each phase, you will have the opportunity to provide your opinion about the CP. This will help the FERTILE team to improve the platform. At the end of the worksheet we will also kindly ask you to complete another questionnaire to gather your overall opinion about the CP.
Your feedback is important for both helping us to improve the platform!!
We expect you to work with two tabs or windows open in your web browser: one with the platform itself (fertile.gsic.uva.es) and another with this document/form. The way of working will be always the same: 1) you read the description of the steps to be carried out here, in this document; 2) then you go to the platform and try to complete them (potentially together with another person or group of persons, following the instructions of your instructor); 3) and then you come back to this document to provide your feedback. You can move among phases of the document/phase for checking the phase descriptions and/or modifying you feedback.
This session is planned for 45 minutes (approx.). For any additional comment about this document/form, please contact: fertile@gsic.uva.es
Thanks a lot for your help!!
