Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching
Once I got following along with the lab I started to get rolling and this was the first image I was able to create.
From there I got into the changing of colors and adding more shapes.
Tried out a different shape and new colors.
The next task was getting a shape to move across the screen, after a few attempts we got it.
The final results of the creative coding.
When I was in my younger-middle years days, the use of the internet slowly started to pick up as I went along. I was fortunate enough to have great educators along the way who allocated lots of time to ensure we were aware of the complexities of the world wide web and the potential risks associated with it.
I attended a school that excelled in teaching students the importance of safeguarding personal information, recognizing online threats, and navigating the digital world responsibly. While the school’s approach was not based on scare tactics, it was still discussed. But the approach was rather focused on educating us about proper internet use and encouraging responsible digital citizenship. This experience provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to stay safe in the online environment while fostering an appreciation for the benefits and responsibilities that come with the digital age.
Looking back, I am super grateful to have grown up in a era where the internet was popular enough for teachers to put lots of emphasis on how to be safe while using it. It probably saved me a lot of grief because what they say is true, if you post it, it can sometimes be out there forever, whether you want it to be or not.
The Government of Canada has a great site for learning about keeping kids safer online, one that I found while doing a lesson on internet awareness and safety.
