+===Moon Activity===
+====Activity Summary====
+The task of the learner would be to observe the object that appears on the screen of the activity
+Moon of the XO. The learner has access to a wealth of information on the Moon, by
+real time. Note that this activity can be used to better understand several concepts
+related to the planet Earth. The learner can do activities on the image manipulation
+in the XO as a metaphor for earth, and to make multiple uses. It may
+use a grid with coordinates.
+Through this activity, learners can learn and build an active
+understanding of several concepts such as "of the spherical Earth," the location
+from one point to the Earth's surface and the rotation of the Earth and its consequences
+daily (including the succession of day and night). The activity has a strong Moon
+capacity suggestive action that teachers can use in the course of Enlightenment.
+This metaphor of the Earth is extremely relevant and original and could be
+further substantiated in the educational applications outside of those we
+propose here. Among other things, it allows the learner to observe phenomena that he
+often described in abstract and theoretical and thus the testing of a
+theoretical knowledge learned. It allows many other learning and
+discoveries including scientific information about the behavior of the Moon. These
+regularly updated information are clearly shown in the legend of
+margin to the left of the metaphor.
+====Affordances of the activity====
+* The student has access to real-time information on the Moon (phases, visibility
+the surface, the next lunar eclipse, the next solar eclipse)
+* The activity can also be used as course material in different ways
+"Earth" because it can be used to learning about the concept of "spherical
+of the earth. "
+* Students can also use this medium to a teaching on the learning
+"Locating a point on the surface of the Earth using the grid coordinates
+geography.
+* The student can change the face of the moon and then be led to understand the concept
+rotation of the Moon and Earth.
+Social Affordances:
+It could bring together learners each to his XO in case the neighborhood
+grid would be impossible as we have just seen. In this case,
+interactivity happen in the form of an exchange (driven by a possible
+questionnaire) between learners using the XO as eBook.
+====Degree of centrality of the activity====
+The integration of the Moon with the curriculum is perfect, and meshes well with the content
+description and location point on the surface of the Earth as it appears in the
+curricula Enlightenment for the 4th year of primary education and basic Gabon (the
+disciplinary field 2: the study of mid-location of Gabon). This
+activity can be adapted to other educational situations involving different levels of
+primary and the needs and capacities of teachers, each according to the realities of
+context of work.
+====Application pédagogique 1====
+====''The earth, a planet round''====
+''Level (s)'': 4th grade of primary
+''Knowledge'': The spherical Earth
+''Savoirfaire'':
+Explaining his comments by the shape of the Earth.
+''History'':
+Using the representation of the moon in the activity, the teacher invites students to
+comments. The face is illuminated which is the side of the sun, the face is shaded
+that is not exposed to direct sunlight. By turning the world on this
+successively the different faces of the earth to the sun: the succession of day and the
+night.
+Based on the questionnaire, learners observe the educational support
+Questions to guide the observation of the shape of the object:
+What is the shape of this item?
+What does this object mean to you?
+What can you conclude about the shape of the planet Earth?
+The teacher then asked students to make a co-production written in phrases
+simple by using the Write XO (say what is the shape of the Earth).
+====Application pédagogique 2====
+====''The movements of the Earth and Moon''====
+''Level (s)'': 4th grade of primary
+''Knowledge'': The movement of rotation of the Earth and its consequences.
+''Savoirfaire'':
+Define the movement and present its main consequence.
+''History'':
+Activity of the learner
+* Free observation of the object of the Moon XO.
+* XO-handling: pointer on the icon Change hemisphere and click
+left (X)
+Questions to guide the observation:
+How does the earth every time we click on the button
+(movement)?
+What changes the aspect of the world whenever it is rotated? (The
+displacement of the shadow accompanies the rotational movement of the Earth)
+What you see on the gray area and the clear zone whenever the Earth
+running?
+What does each of you for clear and shaded areas? (The day and night).
+====Pedagogical application 3====
+====''How to locate?''====
+''Level (s)'': Grade 5
+''Knowledge'': Geographic coordinates, latitude, longitude and the cardinal points.
+''Savoirfaire'':
+Locate a point and give guidance to help coordinate
+geographical areas of latitude and longitude points (N-S-E-O).
+''History'':
+Activity of the learner:
+Using the grid in the Class Moon makes an observation tour of the
+grid questions.
+What information appearing on the top and bottom of the globe and which names
+t give it to these points?
+How many types of lines you see on the globe and what each of them?
+With the help of document grid, tell what the following terms:
+Move longitude?
+Move in latitude?
+Activity final synthesis: Design of collaborative writing based on the
+different responses during the exchange or sharing. These students
+say what used to locate a point in space as well as for travel.
+====User Guide of the Moon====
+Go on-screen list of the activities of XO to the Home view, locate the Moon
+represented by an icon of the moon. Point the cursor on this icon gently rolling
+the finger on the touch pad corresponding to the rectangle of the environment. Launch activity
+clicking with the left button (X), the tab Start to start the Moon.
+<image Home view>
+A representation of the Moon will appear as well as several real-time information.
+<image Moon>
+By clicking on the View tab, two icons appear, one sign of a grid and
+the other that of a globe with an arrow. To change the order, ie of affordance, it
+Simply click on one of the icons.
+<image View tab>
+The grid view shows the parallels and meridians (benchmarks map)
+necessary to locate a point on the surface of the Earth.
+<image Moon with grid>
+To rotate the globe (rotation), simply click on the icon of the Moon Change
+Hemisphere view, above view, as many times as you want to rotate the globe.
+<image Moon southern hemisphere view>
+To leave one of the two views (the grid or rotating globe), click on the icon and
+successive elements appear then disappear.
