1.2.5 Project name: Classroom Backdrop – Learning Environments https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1017301095 • What did you want to achieve when developing the project? I used the classroom backdrop to show that often we have seen that education and schools in South Africa are not up to standard. We as educators can make a difference in the classroom and be an example for the learners, as well as providing them with a safe learning environment. • What would you like learners/teachers to learn from this project? We are in the education field for a reason, and everything starts with us. With a clear understanding of what is important for learners to learn and what educators and learners can do to make a change. As all learners are different with different backgrounds, we need to adapt to change and start to accept the new generation. We need to see and do things differently in an ever changing world and we need to change with it. Only a few tips on how to make a difference in our classroom. • What purpose do the coding blocks, images, audio, backdrops serve in relation to this project? I used text to bring the message across. I made use of a text Sprite, Jamie, to show learners that we need work together to make our classroom the best place in can be.
