New Section
The introduction to the Lycos Logra program, focusing on its educational technology initiative and the aim to reduce socio-economic inequality through training.
Introduction to Lycos Logra Program
- The Licor program aims to develop leadership, coaching, and social service skills in individuals across three stages: pre-service, in-service, and post-service.
- Emphasizes that the competencies gained in leadership, coaching, and social service are lifelong assets for personal and professional growth.
- Discusses the importance of coaching as a key competency for employees to become effective leaders based on research findings.
- Highlights the significance of building meaningful relationships and effective communication skills such as active listening within the program's pedagogy.
Exploring Code Curriculum
Introducing Code.org's curriculum structure within the Lycos Logra program for teaching computational sciences to students.
Code Curriculum Structure
- Introduces Code.org as a non-profit organization motivating basic education students to learn computational sciences through free programming courses.
- Describes Code.org's course offerings including Hour of Code with themes from popular games or movies like Minecraft and Star Wars.
- Explains how students gradually learn fundamental computer science skills through a selection of courses offered by Code.org via the Lycos Logra program.
Challenges and Progression in Courses
Detailing the stages (etapas) and challenges (retos) within courses provided by Code.org through Lycos Logra program.
Course Stages and Challenges
- Defines "etapas" as course stages containing activities while "retos" represent challenges that increase in difficulty as students progress.
- Discusses how challenges must be completed sequentially to enhance continuous skill development in computational abilities.
Session Objectives and Activities Overview
In this section, the speaker discusses how to track student progress and completion of challenges using different color codes. The importance of learning over mere completion is emphasized.
Tracking Student Progress
- Different states are used to mark challenge completion:
- Not started: White color
- In progress: Green outline
- Completed with too many blocks: Light green
- Completed with required blocks: Dark green
Importance of Learning
- Achieving challenges in dark green is the goal, but it's highlighted that continuous learning is essential.
- Emphasizes that learning should always be prioritized over just completing tasks.
Activities for the Week
This part outlines the activities participants need to engage in during the week, focusing on platforms like Flip Beat, Code E, and Tienda for various tasks.
Weekly Activities
- No need for pen and paper; activities will be interactive.
- First activity involves creating a video clip on Flip Beat for self-introduction, emphasizing its future use in sessions with students.
- Second activity requires signing up on Code E in the designated section.
- Third activity involves solving coach course challenges before starting sessions with students in dark green resolution.
Community Interaction
Encourages interaction within the community through Tienda platform to share thoughts, questions, or proposals before a plenary session.
Community Engagement
- Final activity includes interacting within assigned communities on Tienda platform.
