This does the assignment but I might be even better if it detected if a mouse movement left it on a line and still better if possible to detect a line while in mouse motion.

You did not check to see if the ball touched a line.

When working as a single person it is easier the just write the code, but when the project is large enough that it requires multiple people then planning become necessary to coordinate the project.

@AlexParry when I was an elementary teacher no matter how much you refined your instructions the students would likely have found incorrect ways to interpret your instructions. This makes in person school much easier as you can watch their expressions.

Here it is, draw a triangle with Bee Bot.you can't as you can only turn 90 degrees or go straight.

Burdoc Nisson made a comment
I have seen that in a few steps we are asked to draw a triangle with a Bee-bot or a Scratch, but nether can make any turns other than 90 degrees. Does no one try these things ahead to see what is possible?

Currently in the USA authorities have dumbed down schools so that most people will just do what they are told to do and not be able to solve problems.

I currently work part time in a chain to grocery stores but it is obvious that the bosses never learned what computer programs can do so the employees have to do a lot of extra work that easily could have been made simple with a few computer programs.

Many years ago I was asked to fix a sorter. the main fault the program had was that it lacked handshaking. Inputs came from several sources without the sorter program letting the source know if the message was received so the source machine assumed that the sorter had received the message which in fact may have been lost because another source had talked over...

I mostly shop with my blood sugar and my food sensitivities in mind.
I was hungry most of my life until I discovered how important it is for me to eat a protein, a vegetable, a fruit, and usually a starch each time that I eat. If I skip any of these I will remain hungry.
My food sensitivities are dairy, nightshades (potatoes, red and green peppers, also... -

It is my understanding that each body can have it's unique needs but knowing more about these foods could help give more starting points in finding what works for any given body.

I have never taught an on-line course so I am taking this course to find out how. During a in-person course I start each course with a conversation with the students to find out their strengths, weaknesses, and interests so that I can know how to cover what they need. I imagine that a zoom call could work but I will not be able to watch their eyes and body...

I have found that some separation of ‘need to know’ and ‘nice to know’ content can be helpful but there alway should be a wide variety of optional stories available for the students to explore the subject deeper and incorporate the Knowledge in much the same manner as we have been discussing with Active Learning.

I had to ponder this one overnight before I came up with what active learning I could have my students do:

Have the students trace the meridians on their on bodies and then if they can, trace on a patient. -

I like the idea of using the word "redistribution" instead of "decolonisation" but how do we overcome the emotional charge of these words? We don't, but could perhaps include practices that help people grow beyond learning to be be full of negative emotions.

Having grown up in the USA I speak English which has many biases build in but as I have attempted learning many other languages they are of course taught via translations from and to English.

Yes, the use of the word "modern" is often part of the problem perhaps using the word "current" or some other word might help. In house and furniture design we have gone pat modern as from the late 1950's and early 1960's.

So much of the world appears to be involved in the advancement of negative emotional religion in cult like ways. Those ways may be called imperialism, colonialism or other but have the common feature of categorizing some group of people as lesser beings.

Languages that continue change according to the people that use them. If the culture slides downhill the understanding of the language will degenerate and so is the truth of the culture becoming better the understanding of the ideas will be better.

As a former software engineer unless things have changed a lot the bosses have the programmers do terrible things just to exert power or to be greedy.
These bosses will treat their underling as badly as they can get away with. So if you want to see less racist software you need to fix the system that puts racists into boss positions. -

Part of the problem might be that many people think in the language that they most commonly speak. I think in a multidimensional way that doesn't fit that well with spoken and written languages.

So much of the easily recognizable problem with Black health is about money. If one does not have enough money to eat better or live in a better environment no matter the color of your skin you are not likely to have health.

Attitude are often caught from cultures. If your culture ranks holding onto trauma and vengeance then the people of that culture are highly likely to experience chronic emotional pain.

For a class to impart knowledge it need to have someone in charge, sources of information, goals, etc. Is it possible for all of that to be inclusive enough to be decolonized, diverse, interdisciplinary, truthful?

If a person or group has enough money they can put an emotional appeal into marketing that sells there lies to the enough of those that vote in the right places to beat the system. Thus we had a very racist president for 4 years that did much to make things less fair for the non-white males.

The current "democracy" in the USA is now so perverted that much of the new laws that get voted into are terrible. As usual any laws that sound like good ideas are quickly used to promote the very situations they were supposed to stop.

As I am the founder of IPF Innovative Practical Health I have spent a lot of time looking at healthcare practices.

How much of any history is true. We like to trust the published written words but which sources are trustworthy? In resent times the internet has provided huge amounts of both correct and incorrect information so if we decolonize the universities and all schools on the paths to the universities it is a only a beginning.

On the test I disagreed with the first question's "correct" answer. How much is it necessary the the written description of the UX is included in the UX? This question provokes thought. I also disagreed with the second question's "correct" answer.

There are lots of good ideas written into this course, but remember in the real world no teach will be allowed to do more than a few of the smallest innovations.
