I-Scratch, i-Blockly ne-MakeCode zonke zizixhobo zokubhala ikhowudi ngeebhloko: umntwana wakho utsalela ndawonye iibhloko ezifana namaqhekeza ephazili endaweni yokuchwetheza imigca yombhalo. Umahluko kukuba nganye yakhelwe ukwenza ntoni. I-Scratch ijolise kumabali nakwimidlalo esesikrinini, i-MakeCode ijolise kwiibhodi eziphathekayo nakwiisensa, kwaye i-Blockly yinjini abanye abahleli beebhloko abaninzi abakhelwe phezu kwayo. Xa sele usazi usukelo, ukukhetha kuba lula.

I-Scratch: yakhelwe amabali, imidlalo neeanimeshini

I-Scratch, evela e-MIT, yiyo apho baqala khona uninzi lwabantwana. Iibhloko zilawula ii-sprite eziseqongeni, ngoko umntwana angahambisa umlinganiswa, adlale isandi, okanye agcine amanqaku. Ngaphantsi komphezulu ifundisa iingcinga zokwenene ezifunyanwa kuzo zonke iilwimi zenkqubo: izingqi, iziganeko, izinto ezitshintshayo nemiqathango. Akukho nto ithengwayo kwaye akukho nto ifakwayo, kuba isebenza kwibhrawuza.

Kukuzanywa kokuqala kokubhala ikhowudi, malunga neminyaka esi-8 ukuya kweli-12, kunzima ukoyisa i-Scratch. Into oyinikezelayo kukuba i-Scratch ihlala esikrinini. Ayizukuqhuba i-motor okanye ifunde isensa yobushushu, ngoko ayifanelekanga xa usukelo lulwakhiwo lweerobhothi.

I-Blockly: yinjini, ayisiyo i-app

I-Blockly lithala leenkqubo likaGoogle lokwakha abahleli beebhloko. Yodwa ayiyiyo imveliso umntwana ahlala phantsi ayisebenzise. Yisethi yezixhobo esetyenziswa ngabaphuhlisi ukwenza enye. Uninzi lwezikhombisi zeebhloko odibana nazo, kubandakanya izixhobo ezininzi zehardware nezegumbi lokufundela, zi-Blockly ngaphantsi.

Kutheni le nto ibalulekile kumzali? Kuba ukwazi ukuba isixhobo "sisebenzisa i-Blockly" kukuxelela indlela esibonakala nesivakala ngayo (utsala iibhloko) kodwa hayi injongo yaso. Izixhobo ezibini ezisekelwe kwi-Blockly zinokwenza imisebenzi eyahluke ngokupheleleyo, esinye senza iianimeshini esinye silawula ingalo yerobhothi. Gweba isixhobo ngoko sikujolisileyo, kungekhona ngenjini esisebenza phezu kwayo.

I-MakeCode: iibhloko ezithetha nezixhobo eziphathekayo

I-MakeCode, evela kwaMicrosoft, idibanisa iibhloko nezixhobo eziphathekayo: iibhodi ezincinci ze-microcontroller ezinee-LED, amaqhosha neesensa. Wakha inkqubo ngeebhloko, uze uyifake kwibhodi esebenza ngokwayo, kude nekhompyutha. Amaxesha amaninzi ikwavumela umntwana wakho ukuba atshintshe phakathi kweebhloko nombhalo, ngokuqhelekileyo i-JavaScript okanye i-Python, into eyenza ukuba ibe libhulorho lendalo njengoko ekhula. Le yindidi ebalulekileyo xa usukelo lulwakhiwo lweerobhothi kunokwenza iianimeshini.

Ibhodi yethu ye-sheenbot∞ ikule ndawo. Ungabhala ikhowudi yeebhloko uyenzele yona uze uyibukele isebenza kwisifanisi sebhrawuza phambi kokuba uchukumise nasiphi na isixhobo, into eluncedo xa idatha okanye izixhobo zinqongophele. Zama i-canvas yeebhloko ukuze ubone ukuba iibhloko zekhompyutha ephathekayo ziziphatha njani kwibhodi engabonakaliyo.

Khetha ngosukelo, kungekhona ngegama lomenzi

Igama lomenzi alibalulekanga kangako njengokufaneleka. Zontathu zifundisa iingcinga ezisisiseko ezifanayo, ngoko umntwana ofunda izingqi kwi-Scratch sele eziqonda izingqi kwi-MakeCode. Dibanisa isixhobo noko umntwana wakho afuna ngokwenene ukukwenza:

• Usukelo ngamabali, imidlalo okanye ubugcisa: qala nge-Scratch.
• Usukelo ziirobhothi, iisensa okanye izixhobo ezinxitywayo: sebenzisa umhleli wehardware ofana ne-MakeCode, okanye ukubhala ikhowudi ngeebhloko kwibhodi ye-sheenbot∞.
• Umntwana sele elungele umbhalo: khetha isixhobo esibonisa iibhloko ne-JavaScript okanye i-Python ecaleni komnye.
• Uhlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lunqongophele: qala esikrinini, kuba izifanisi azibizi nto kwaye zifundisa ingqiqo efanayo.
• Abancinci kunesibhozo: qala ngeebhloko ezilula ezisekelwe kwimifanekiso ngaphambi kwe-Scratch epheleleyo.

Isishwankathelo

Musa ukuzihlupha ngokuba sesiphi isixhobo seebhloko "esibalaseleyo". Dibanisa isixhobo noko umntwana wakho afuna ukukwakha, uze umvumele ukuba atshintshe phakathi kwezixhobo njengoko usukelo lwakhe lutshintsha. Izakhono ziyahamba naye, ngoko akukho nto ilahlekayo. Ukuba ufuna isiqalo esikhokelweyo, iakhademi yethu iqhuba iiklasi zokubhala ikhowudi ngeebhloko eKapa, kwaye ungabhukisha isifundo sovavanyo simahla ukuze ubone ukuba yeyiphi indlela emfaneleyo umntwana wakho phambi kokuba uzibophelele nakwintoni na.
