Re: Come MOOC with us- An invitation to mentors and students

Hmmm... I just completed the first week's activities for the course I had selected at Open2study.com.

It was more basic than I expected. It really wouldn't be of much interest to FRC students, although Lego League or FTC kids might. Mentors in these programs might check it out to see if it could be useful. (There was even a reference to FLL in it. The course will use Mindstorms to build a robot, and she mentioned FLL.)

If I go through week 2, and there isn't anything more exciting, I will find a different class to start out with. Sometimes, the introductory week is pretty basic. It might pick up. Otherwise, I'll find a class that is more interesting to high school students and FRC mentors.

If this project's premise interests you, I would still invite you to go to the site at 247dabears.vbulletin.net and check out what I'm doing there. I'll still go through the exercise of using this class as a starting point for exploration, just as a demonstration, but unless the next modules have some more advanced material, I'll have to find something else.
