Playing with Blockly

I like learning and being creative. When school is out, I get to learn and do lots of new things. I played with Blockly the other night. Have you ever played with Blockly?

Blockly is a game that lets you make shapes in different colors and there's lots of learning. I learned how to do multiplication and addition to make it draw.

Here's what I made:


I'll tell you how to do it in my AudioBoo. Click on play to listen to my AudioBoo to learn how to do it.  listen to ‘Blockly’ on Audioboo

Do you want to try it yourself? Click here to go to the link and press the red "Run Program" to watch it draw what I programmed it to draw.

I learned about Blockly because my mom was listening to David Wees share about it online, and I wanted to try.

What do you like about Blockly?

Have you created something on Blockly before? If so, can you share it with me?

What things do you like to create?

  3. Dear Bella,

    Thanks for sharing Scratch. I want to try it, but I can't tonight (which is your morning) because I'm supposed to go to sleep, but my mommy is letting me have some time to comment back.

    I went to your blog and I liked your llama.

    Sincerely,
    Em

  10. Hi Sydney,

    Blockly is fun. I did move forward by 10. Turn right by 10. And repeat 100 times.

    It's fun when you change the numbers to see what it does.

  13. [...] First you start with Angry Birds, and when you get to level 13 or 14 it changes to Plants v Zombies. Then when you complete it you go to level two. Each level has 20 rounds of Blockly puzzles. [...]

Directions for placing comments:

1) Choose "Comment As" first. If you don't have a Google/Blogger account, you can choose Name/URL and type in your name, then place the web site that best describes you in the URL. Or, you can choose "Anonymous".

2) You may need to press "Post Comment" more than one time. (It is always smart to copy your comment before pressing "Post Comment" just in case something happens).

3) Type in the word verification (the squiggly word).

4) If you did everything correctly, it will state, "Your comment has been saved and will be visible after blog owner approval." If you do not get that message, you may want to try again. Remember, it takes time for my mom or dad to publish it on the blog.

Come back later to see what I write back to you! Thanks!
