The first project of digital foundation class

I chose the “dancing cup” with the color response for this assignment.

Since the interaction between human and computer should be highlighted in this process, I found it may be difficult to generate the instant feedback in this process. In this case, I decided to use the tool that utilizes the blockly code so that it thoughts could be easily applied to the project.

Then I found Cospace and use it to create an interactive dancing cup scenery. At first, I chose a dusky room environment. In the second place, I selected “cup” from the object list in the “library” of the Cospace. 

After learning some basic skills to organize the block code on Cospace,  I set an action to turn the cup clockwise to let it dance when the user clicks the cup. Meanwhile, the cup would change color and become larger.

I really appreciate the idea incorporated in the article”All I need to know about creative thinking I learned by studying how children learn in kindergarten” to apply the kindergarten learning style to other stages of learning. And the Froebel’s Gift helps me gain more insights about creative tech can be applied in the learning process. Although the technique (even no advanced technology incorporated in )of the Froebel’s Gift is simple, it enables students to have more freedom for their creativity.

I am excited to learn more about the tools we will learn in this semester.
