From Talent To Learning
Specialty Classes
In TechLit computer classes we have many different specialties designed to help students discover their unique interests and use them to develop digital skills through project-based learning. Two of the specialties that we have are Graphic Design and Coding.
Finding Unique Interests
Peter is a Grade 6, Group B student at Barrina primary school. Since we introduced him to Inkscape, our vector graphics editor, in Graphic Design class, he emerged as a talented artist. During one of his Graphic Design lessons, he drew a very colorful lorry. And then all of the next school term, he insisted that I show him block coding so that he could animate his colorful lorry.
Project-Based Learning
I decided to call him during break time to teach him the basics of block coding. I am so impressed and motivated as a tutor to get such a young person's needs and to be able to teach them new things every day.
