Creating Scratch Instruction Video for Session 3
06/04/17
After all the teething issues and challenges I experienced with recording the other video, this recording went pretty smoothly.
However, upon logging in I spotted the Scratch noticeboard was noting a downtime for accessing Scratch completely. This was around the time I was about to start the recording, so I was hoping that there would be no problems.
During recording, there seemed to be a little fault in the recording, which for my viewing, did not seem to visibly show the difference in the numbers speed once they have been clicked. All numbers have been coded to speed up for 10 seconds and then automatically reduce their speed back to the original speed. This is to encourage pupils to try clicking others numbers, rather than the same numbers.
At the end, it did seem like there was a glitch, however, looking at the timer box (in the bottom left) it appeared that the timer had reached zero, and the game had ended.
This seemed a little strange to me, as it didn’t visually look like the game had ended. In reflection, I would like to have had more time to learn how to create an additional window or solid colour screen, which would visibly been clearer that the game had ended.
This adjustment could be a progression for this e-resource activity.
Overall, I enjoyed making this video, mostly because it was the least problematic video that I have made.
