1) What is your background in learning or teaching MicroWorlds?
Hello! My name is Clara Jackson. I am an Instructional Technology
Specialist for Plano ISD in Plano, TX. One of the many pieces of
software currently used in our schools is MicroWorlds Pro. As one of my
new assignments, I am the support person for MicroWorlds Pro.
2) What do you like best about MicroWorlds? What do you find
difficult or frustrating?
What I like best about MicroWorlds is that it's a great way to
introduce programming to young children. We currently use it in our
Gifted and Talented classes at the Elementary level. You should see some
of the games and projects they create!
Since I am new to MicroWorlds Pro, I feel as though I have a lot to
learn. If you are not familiar with this king of program, it can be
slightly overwhemling. But I am working through it and learning tons
every day.
3) How do you hope this group can be helpful to you?
I hope that this forum will help me in my quest to learn MicroWorlds
Pro. Should I come across a snag, I would hope to come to this forum for
help. Also, I would like to be of assistance to others...once I get the
hang of it. :o)
