iRLO

I will admit, I put the most time into this project!!  I really enjoyed creating this iRLO.  I started by looking at some examples to see what could be done with Scratch.  I came up with my idea and then just started  playing around with what I could do in Scratch and seeing how you pieced things together to get something to happen.  I came up with an iRLO that I was pretty happy with, but still wanted to add more.  After my peers gave me feedback, I decided to change and add a few things.  I did not take all their suggestions.  One suggestion was that I have the students pick either addition, multiplication or subtraction, but I wanted this to be more of a review where they had to do all different types of problems.  This also made it so a student didn't pick what they were best at and never get practice with what they may need most.  I learned that with Scratch, you can just keep adding to the iRLO, so I decided that enough was enough and it was time to submit! 

After designing this iRLO, I now have a better idea about how I could use this in my classroom.  I could create so many more iRLO's for my students.  I also learned how much time can be put into these and how much you can do with Scratch.  As with the IWB, after having my peers review, I learned that you need to consider their input but it may not be what you had in mind for your lesson.  Also, by having peers give you feedback you can find out what problems may occur that you did not realize or just that getting another opinion is very helpful. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this assignment and am very happy with my end result.  At the time when I started this, I was dreading having to do it, but now I am so happy and proud of what I have done and knowing what I potentially can do in the future.
