===Distance Activity===
 +
====Activity Summary====
 +
This activity is used to compute the distance between two computers.
 +
 +
Students can measure distances to evaluate intervals between two points in
 +
school with the little green XO computer. Students organized in dyads should be placed
 +
so that the sound emitted simultaneously by each of the computers can be levied
 +
by the other so that the measured distance can be assessed.
 +
 +
With a combination of activities, it is possible that the students use
 +
simultaneously and the Draw Distance.
 +
====Affordances of the activity====
 +
* Students can measure the length to go to get from one point to another.
 +
* Students can measure the perimeter of the classroom.
 +
* Students can measure the distance to make a course in Education
 +
physical and sports (EPS) for example.
 +
* Students may draw together and assess the distance between two drawings.
 +
====Degree of centrality of the activity====
 +
According to the curriculum of the fourth grade, the distance may be
 +
Central to the main concepts of teaching / learning
 +
characteristics to this grade level. The measured distances can then be
 +
used to calculate an area where a surface for example. The concepts
 +
distance measures have their place in mathematics, in the section of the
 +
geometry.
 +
 +
Before the fourth year in Éveil 2nd year, and Draw Distance can be
 +
combined and become central when spatio-temporal structure.
 +
====Application pédagogique 1====
 +
''Level of study'': 4th year
 +
 +
''Knowledge'': The perimeter and the half-perimeter of the rectangle
 +
 +
''Savoirfaire'':
 +
Measure or calculate problems in situations on the perimeter and demipérimètre Rectangle
 +
 +
''History'':
 +
 +
Reading and analysis of statements of problems involving the calculation of perimeter and
 +
half-perimeter of rectangular figures. (Eg the internal perimeter of the classroom to
 +
using the XO).
 +
 +
Statement: Identify the lengths and widths of the class, and measure distances by means
 +
of XO.
 +
 +
The teacher can arrange the class into dyads.
 +
Two different dyads, each with an XO computer, identifies a length and a
 +
width of the classroom, and carries through the measure of the distance. Each
 +
side of the class is measured using the XO.
 +
 +
Both XO network engaged in the give a distance measure similar to a rule
 +
calibrated accurately.
 +
 +
Students could then use these measurements to calculate the perimeter of the classroom.
 +
 +
Collaboration in dyads:
 +
 +
After displaying the remote computer screens, students share
 +
viewing results and agree to the distance restraint.
 +
====Application pédagogique 2====
 +
''Level (s)'': 3rd grade of primary
 +
 +
''Knowledge'': Metric, straight line
 +
 +
''Savoirfaire'':
 +
Measure and compare several segments of existing right
 +
the environment in the home, in the classroom, in the schoolyard.
 +
 +
''History'':
 +
 +
Statement: Identify the distance measure, determine using the XO as provided by
 +
the protocol to use. Compare distances obtained on the computer screen and
 +
record the distances obtained in the Journal by naming them.
 +
 +
Application:
 +
 +
For example: the door of the class A, at the door of Class B: 10.11 meters.
 +
 +
Measurements in the schoolyard can be plotted on the plan
 +
the school by pupils.
 +
 +
Collaboration in dyads:
 +
 +
Dyads distances are displayed on the screens of XO and agree to the
 +
actual distance.
 +
 +
NB: Through this activity, teachers can help students develop skills to
 +
measure distances with the XO.
 +
====Pedagogical application 3====
 +
''Level of study'': 2nd year of primary
 +
 +
''Knowledge": spatio-temporal structure: in front, behind, before, ... next to, far, near, around.
 +
 +
''Savoirfaire'':
 +
Draw and / or identify an object in relation to another, or a student.
 +
 +
''History'':
 +
 +
Simulation of role play where one student gives orders to another student using the
 +
terms: before, after, on ... near, far, after, for example around
 +
====User Guide of the Distance====
 +
As a first step, it will ensure that the XO is connected to the same network
 +
meshed. To do this, see pages 8 and 9 of the Guide to the initiation and XO
 +
Sugar environment V.8.2. In the Home view, begin the activity by clicking
 +
the icon representing a dolphin.
 +
<image Home view>
 +
 +
In the box Share with: select my neighborhood. Follow one of
 +
sharing procedures described on pages 16 and 17 of Getting Started in XO and
 +
Sugar environment V.8.2. The two connected XO activity can begin. Click
 +
Start far away.
 +

 +
 +
It is therefore the position of XO computers one side to another. Computers emit
 +
in turn a sound wave that can measure the distance between the two
 +
screens. This will be displayed on the screen. Ideally, the XO should be placed on the
 +
ground without any obstacles obstructing the sound emitted by the devices. Note that
 +
weather can also influence the measure. Therefore
 +
Atmosphere tab allows the student to enter the variables of temperature and humidity
 +
on so that the measures are as accurate as possible.
