Let’s make a game!!!

Last days we have been learning to program with Scratch. And now, that we have some practice with the instructions, we are going to create our first game.

The game's about a sprite, controlled by the arrow keys, that have to catch an item. Every time you catch the item, you win a point, when you get at 5 pints, the game will be over.

To do that, you have to get the things that you learn in the two tutorials that we have shown in class. you can find on the tutorials area of your scratch desktop. The tutorials are called “Make a chase game” and “Animated an Adventure Game”.

If you have more time or want to get an extra point, you can modify the code to finish the game when the time will be finish, for example, 15 seconds.

Enjoy the challenge!!!  😉

Did you know that the information you keep on your computer is the most valuable thing on your computer? Well, it's true.

How do you to keep safe your information? Making a backup. Do you have a backup plan?

It's time to know the different ways that you can make a backup of your important documents. For the best results, you must start with a good folder organization. Once you have managed to have your files sorted logically, we will choose how to keep them safe.

We can find the basics of the different backup methods on this page. In this other page, we can find a comparative analysis of direct free backup services in the cloud.

The exercise proposed for today is to carry out a study of the different methods of backup adapted to the volume of important information that you keep in your computer.

• You must include a capture of the folder where your files are. 
• Explanation of how the backup is performed in each of the methods (on a hard drive, in a payment service in the cloud and in a free service in the cloud). 
• Cost of each of the options.

I hope you put into practice what you have learned.

The work must be delivered by Thursday, March 28.

Fridays For Future

A few months ago, a Swedish girl of 15 years old, Greta Thunberg (ES) began to strike at her institute every Friday to protest against the inaction of her government in the face of the climate crisis.

We invite you to see the talk of Greta at TED Talks.

Today, shortly after, these strikes have become a worldwide movement in which, every Friday, thousands and thousands of young people go out to demand urgent measures against the climatic change, fighting for a worthy future in the unique planet that we have, under the name FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE.

About web tools and other things

Last day, one student ask me about what is a web tool? related to antivirus. It’s a tool that can scan your computer and you can obtain information about how many viruses has your computer and remove it.

One of this tool is offered by ESET, if you want to use this web tool, you have to download a file. This file is an exe file. You have to be careful with this type of files and, before installing a program that you have downloaded from the Internet, you must check if the site is fully confident, a way to know is clicking in the URL's lock and check the certificate.

Returning with the theme of the antivirus, a website where you will find information about virus alerts and many free tools to protect your computer and the information contained therein is OSI, the Office of Security of the Internet.

To finish this post, I must remind you that no antivirus is infallible, although essential, and that we can improve our level of protection by following a few tips when we surfing the Internet to avoid the maleware,
