Software and Robotics & Automated Systems


This week in the lecture we discussed different ways of presenting a task to a class using the technologies and facilities that are available to us today and that are more importantly...free! One of the sites which interested me was Google sites. This is an easy to use site that would be easy enough to create a page for the students to follow for an assignment. Also, it is a great exercise for the students to make their own website that is quick, easy and is something they could relate to and enjoy, therefore making ICT a fun subject for students to interact with each other at the programs the internet has to offer.

Another great aspect about the site is it has a quick instruction video which the students could watch all together or individually over and over again until the grasp the idea of what they have to do. Over all a great resource in website building and design.



                Robotics and Automated Systems 
This week in tutorial we were given a presentation about robotics and automated systems. I was interested in the robotics and decided to research further into the subject. I found through researching on the internet a website I found this site ARAA (Australian Robotics & Automated Association). This is fantastic resource for teachers and students. It provides information on robotics as well as links for students to different competitions they can get involved in. This is a great resource to show students who are particularly interested in robotics.
