Since this is the "Hour of Code" week around the world, I have very happily submitted the "Programming Plateaus" #ToyBoxTutorial for this week's #GoodDinoChallenge. It's a sequel to the "Innovation Isles (3.0 Remix)". See Spot code
.
EDIT...
It's up
Programming PlateausI'm really excited about this tutorial format. I'll be making another set of video tutorials from partial walkthroughs of this new box on the
IBM ODC YouTube Channel, and have already started designing my next #ToyBoxTutorial with more complex "design patterns". It's worked really well with our Toy Box Clubs for the structured part of our computer science instruction, using each video as a demo, followed by the students doing the lab. And with the searchable #ToyBoxTutorial hash tag, the whole list of boxes can be found on consoles in homes.
I wonder if Disney Interactive would ever consider referencing the IBM ODC YouTube Channel & the Toy Box Club Activity Kit. They're already out there in the public domain as a corporate citizenship resource. As the Jiminy of Umbrellas might say - "No Strings"
