Welcome to Our New Robotics Researchers!
Year9_robotics_term1_2012

As part of our Year 9 Electives Program, students once again have the opportunity to participate in our Robotics Research Project. 

Students use OpenSim to create a 3D object, then use Scratch 4 OpenSim to create the Linden Script for their programmable object.

In order to create our “inworld class photo” for this post, we learnt how to use the camera controls in the Imprudence 3D Viewer, then the screenshot feature.

Watch out for future posts about their finished products! 

You can also visit our Begonia Island Blog for further information about our Virtual Worlds Project.

Welcome to the new BGS eLearning Blog!

Welcome to our new blog!  Previously, this blog was known as BGS Virtual Worlds and was used by our students to share their work as part of our school's Virtual Worlds Project.  However, we felt that a method for sharing information about other eLearning Projects was also needed.  You can find more detailed information about Begonia Island, our OpenSim Virtual Worlds Project at http://begoniaisland.edublogs.org/ 

In 2011 we have continued to explore a number of exciting areas such as games creation using Kodu Game Lab, Scratch and use of the Microsoft Kinect Sensor Camera with these tools.  We have also had lots of fun creating our own special BeeBot, "Phee-Bee" who has been programmed to complete some exciting journeys around our Senior Library this year!
