For our lesson we had to use an app installed on an iPad
called Hopscotch. This app simplifies the creation of
stories, games and animations by providing the user with straight forward blocks
to fill in. The app is based on coding to create different things e.g.
shapes/games. Using the app I created a
house using different quirky animals (which I found made the app more appealing
and fun to use), and had to enter different coding and controls to create the
shape of the house. For someone new to
this app like myself, it can be very difficult to master at first but with a
lot of practice it can be quite fun.
Hopscotch can be a very useful app to use with children as through
trail, error and constant repetition, they will learn how to manipulate the
code as well as think creatively and critically. This app can enable any person to learn
fundamental programming logic which is a useful skill to hold in this era of
technological advancement.
Below are some pictures of my house created on Hopscotch.
