With the spread of the new coronavirus,
everyone in Japan is quarantining with all their might.
They want to stop the spread of the virus,
but this is a battle with pain, such as economic downturn.
In the midst of this, education is concerned about stagnation.
If you go to school, you will be isolated.
Without classes, children's learning opportunities are lost.
However, there is an innovative way to get a place to learn without going to school.
Online classes are attracting attention.
Classes are conducted using a computer.
You can connect your computer to the Internet and learn while staying at home.
However, there is a big problem.
When the Ministry of Education and Science investigated the implementation of the current law,
it was found that only 5% of local governments agreed to introduce face-to-face online classes.
Why can't online classes start right away?
In fact, there are three very important rites.
The first is a computer, tablet, and other terminal devices.
The second is a communication environment that connects the computer and the Internet.
The third is an individual account for online classes.
If these three are not available at home, you will not be able to take online classes.
However, to get all of these, a computer costs about 80,000 yen.
In order to set up a communication environment at home, you need a contract with a telephone company, etc.
For a certain carrier, it will cost 4,000 yen a month.
To solve this problem, the Ministry of Education and Science is now leading the GIGA school project.
The GIGA school project is to set up a learning terminal and an online network environment for each student at all elementary, middle and high schools, public schools, and special support schools by 2023.
However, the budget for the new project is 2,292 billion yen, based on the long-term situation of the temporary school.
The country is also working on a large budget for the early implementation of online classes.
So, at Programming Star, we thoroughly tested what is necessary and what should be done in preparation for the start of online classes.
Let's take a look at the online classes that everyone is going to experience. If the computer and communication environment are in place, can you really take classes from a distance?
I want to know now! Aim for Programming Star!
Hello, everyone! I'm Kyoko Gunji, the class president of Aim for Programming Star!
How are the students doing remotely?
We're doing great!
It's been a while!
It's a remote class, but they're able to have a normal conversation.
Recently, their fathers' work is mainly online meetings.
At night, they don't gather at a bar, but at their respective homes, they talk on their computers and have drinks.
It's been a while since you were called to stay at home.
How do you spend your time at home?
I play games, cook at home, and watch movies.
I do a lot of things half-heartedly.
Half-heartedly?
Moeko, what are you doing?
Recently, I've noticed that it's already evening.
So, I'm working overtime in the middle of the night.
It's an overtime pattern.
That's right.
Saya-chan, how are you?
I'm fine.
How about you, Iori-chan?
Are you self-sufficient?
Recently, I've been self-sufficient.
I've been able to make a variety of things, but I couldn't make one by myself, so I gained weight.
You're an idol, but are you okay?
I'm fine.
I'll do my best to lose weight.
This time, Unji-san is in charge of Japanese TV.
To all the students, the Prosta Kids classroom is on the Shinagawa side.
And so that it doesn't get too crowded, everyone has their own room.
It's exactly the same as the online classes that are about to start.
With this, you can do online classes anywhere in Japan.
The way you go to school may change.
The app called Google Meeting was used to record remotely.
With this, you can connect audio and video.
Everyone, it's been a while. I'm also a remote teacher. Nice to meet you.
I'm glad everyone is doing well.
Yes, everyone is doing well.
Today, everyone in front of the TV can't go to school, so they're doing homework and studying at home.
That's right. Especially in the first year of elementary school, there are children who bought a land cell but haven't carried it yet.
That's true.
And the programming education that was supposed to start in April hasn't been completed yet.
That's right.
So I'm going to be a remote teacher and ask everyone to take online classes.
That's what I think.
Can you do programming at home?
That's a good question, Iori.
Of course, you can do programming at home.
If you have a computer, you can study programming anywhere.
That's what it is.
Even if you're away like this, you can take programming classes.
Everyone has been studying for a year, but some of the people watching this TV may have never touched a computer.
That's right. There are so many children who have never touched a computer.
According to an international academic survey, the percentage of students who answered that 15-year- olds in Japan use computers at home was 35%.
If you compare this with other developed countries, the United States is 73%, the UK is 78%, and Korea is 63%.
If you look at it like this, you can see that the spread rate of Japanese computers is low.
This is a hurdle that stands in the way of online classes.
It's a bit of a problem because if you don't get used to the computer, you'll be late for international competitions.
Do you know why the number is low?
What is it?
Don't you all use a smartphone more than a computer?
You can do some research on your smartphone.
So this time, I'll teach you how to turn on the power carefully so that people who have never touched a computer can understand it.
Do you have a computer in front of you now?
Yes, we do.
This time, everyone uses a notebook-type computer.
The keyboard and monitor are together.
Let's turn on the power.
There is an AC adapter on the desk.
AC adapter.
Is this it?
If you know how to turn on the power, please wait a little.
I'll teach you carefully for the first time.
You need to turn on the power to run the computer.
To turn on the power, you need an AC adapter that connects the computer to the outlet.
I'll show you how to connect it.
First, plug the adapter into the outlet.
Then, connect the adapter to the computer.
Now you can supply power to the computer.
Let's run the computer now.
There is a power button on the keyboard.
If you press this power button, the computer will start.
Now, let's all turn on the power to the computer and jump into the wide world!
So, has everyone turned on their computers?
Yes, we have!
Then, let's go to the next one.
This time, everyone will be using Windows 10 OS.
Does everyone know what OS is?
OS?
Does anyone know?
OS is actually...
Emily-chan and Iori-chan.
We studied it during the previous shooting.
Do you remember?
OS?
We talked about iOS when updating.
That's right.
We often hear about OS, but we don't know the details.
Here's a recap.
Emily-chan and Iori-chan.
Do you remember studying CPU and memory during the previous shooting?
Yes, I studied.
CPU is...
brain...
Isn't it human brain?
Yes, human brain.
CPU is human brain.
That's correct.
In the computer, there are OS, CPU, and a device called memory.
I will explain this device as a human's work.
CPU is human brain.
If the performance of the CPU is good, the speed of work will be faster.
And memory is the size of the work desk.
The larger the number of memory, the more work can be done.
And the OS is a human being who works.
No matter what you do, it won't work unless you have someone to do it.
The same goes for computers. Without the OS, it won't work.
And the OS has two things that are famous. Do you know what they are?
Yes.
When I was a student, I used Windows.
That's right.
And the other one?
Is it Mac?
That's right!
Moeko-chan is correct!
Windows and Mac are famous, right?
Prosta-kun, the one we're using is Windows 10.
Does that mean it was before 10?
That's a good question, In-chan!
In 1985, Windows 1.0 was released on Windows OS.
And after 30 years from the first OS in 2015,
Windows 10 has evolved into the OS that everyone is using now.
Wow, it's a big evolution!
In order to learn programming, I'll teach you how to connect your computer to the Internet.
Please teach us!
To connect your computer to the Internet, you can't just use your computer.
You need a contract with a telecommunications company and a network line at home.
You can use the Internet for about 4,000 yen a month.
The Internet is the door to anywhere in the world.
This is the key to online learning.
Now, I'll teach you how to connect your computer to the Internet when you have a network line at home.
Please teach us!
There are two ways to connect your computer to the Internet, wired LAN and wireless LAN.
Can you tell the difference?
Does it cost money or not?
Oh, that's an innovative answer!
Iori-chan, you're wrong!
The one that connects?
That's right, the one that connects or the one that flies.
That's right, Emily-chan!
It's a rough answer, but it's correct!
A wired LAN is literally a method of connecting a computer to the Internet using a cord.
And a wireless LAN is a method of connecting the Internet using radio waves, such as Wi-Fi, without using a cord.
Now you know the difference between a wired LAN and a wireless LAN.
I'll teach you the advantages and disadvantages of which method you should use to connect your computer to the Internet.
The wireless LAN does not connect the wire, so you can use the Internet anywhere as long as the radio waves reach.
If you want to use it in your room or living room, the wireless LAN is recommended.
However, if the wireless LAN has obstacles such as walls and ceilings, it may be affected by the radio waves and not be able to connect.
On the other hand, the wired LAN is the opposite, and the Internet connection is stable, but by connecting the cord, you can only use the Internet in that place.
Let's think about how you want to use it and connect to the Internet.
After this, I will teach you how to connect to the Internet carefully.
This program is brought to you by PLOSTA, a programming learning system.
Now, everyone, let's connect your computer to the wireless LAN.
There is a globe mark at the bottom right. Click on it.
Wi-Fi is the radio wave that connects the computer to the Internet.
In fact, there are a lot of radio waves in this Wi-Fi, and you can use them by selecting the Wi-Fi radio wave you use and entering the password.
When you connect Wi-Fi in your home, check the router.
The Wi-Fi name and password are displayed on the back of the router.
Find the name of the Wi-Fi and enter the password.
Did you connect?
Yes, we did!
Then, let's actually connect to the Internet.
First, let's take a look at the home page of Mezase Programming Star.
To use the Internet, select a browser.
There is Google Chrome at the bottom.
The browser is used to use the Internet.
This time, we use a browser called Google Chrome.
In addition, there is a browser called Safari for Windows, Internet Explorer, Mac and iPhone.
By using this browser, you can collect various information from the Internet and do research, or watch videos from video sites.
If you connect to a search site through the browser so that the word Google can be used when doing some research, you can access what you want to know immediately.
The Internet is a door that will take you anywhere while you are at home, and it is also a device that will infinitely expand our interests.
Did you open Google Chrome?
Yes, I did.
Then, let's type in the search bar, aiming programming start, and search.
Let's do it.
It came out.
How is it? Is it done?
Wow, it's amazing.
Did you see it?
Everyone, you were able to see the homepage of the program, right?
Yes.
It is important to choose a textbook to use for online classes.
This time, we are going to use the textbook of Prostakids.
This textbook is actually a textbook that uses games.
It is a textbook suitable for online learning to learn programming using games.
So, everyone, search for Prostakids.
Prostakids.
It came out.
Did it come out?
Then, click on the Prostakids site.
Yes.
In this Prostakids Online, you can take programming classes using Minecraft,
and you can take programming classes suitable for the new instruction capacity that will start from this year in elementary school.
There are two courses.
The STEAM course is a course that uses Scratch and other tools to add programming elements to languages and mathematics.
The MAKE CODE course uses the popular game Minecraft to learn the basics of programming.
How to sign up and how to get Minecraft are explained in detail on the program's website.
Everyone, check it out!
Next time, we'll try programming in Minecraft using the Prostakids online course.
Why?
After connecting to the Internet, let's try Scratch, where you can easily experience programming.
This time, we're learning the basics of an online course, but there's a software for beginners.
That's Scratch.
This is a visual-type programming using blocks, not a complex source code.
It's easy to start Scratch.
Search for Scratch on the Internet and select the Scratch website.
If you click on Create, everyone can start right away, so let's get ready.
Let's review Scratch's simple programming.
Last year, we used Scratch to compete with each other.
Let's review the way of programming.
It's really easy for children to understand.
There is a palette of paint.
It's called a block palette, and it's divided by color.
From the top, there are movements and looks.
In addition, there are various code blocks in this palette.
There is a code area where you can work with this code block.
As a result of implementing this code area,
This is called a stage, and this is called a sprite.
This cat is called Scratch Cat.
This is called a sprite list.
In fact, this sprite can be changed to your character later.
Did you all understand the name on the screen of Scratch?
It appears many times in the class, so remember it.
The first study is to move 10 cats.
First, when the space key is pressed from the event palette,
I'll take it to the code area.
Let's choose 10 to move from the movement palette and connect them.
Do you need to connect something like this block?
This is a separate program.
This is a single program.
Let's look at the member's screen to see if the program is ready.
This is the first Scratch, but everyone is doing well.
Let's press the space key when the program is ready.
It moved!
One step!
This is called 10 steps.
10 dots, 10 dots are moving.
Is that so?
I don't know how to translate this, but 10 steps means 10 dots are moving.
10 dots.
Everyone, it's not the feet that move, it's the cat moving forward.
The cat moves forward like this.
The 10 dots that Mr. Ando just explained are not 10 steps, but 10 dots on the screen.
The next study is to make a cat run.
In order to make a cat run, select the next costume from the purple palette and connect it to the bottom of the programmed block.
Let's see the cat running.
The old lady has opened her eyes.
Is it running?
Yes, it's running. It looks good.
It's fast.
How about you, Shinji?
I'm following it.
It's done well.
It's running.
Let's do today's work.
Let's make a cat run.
In order to make a cat run, select 10 dots from the green palette and connect it to the top of the programmed block.
The cat runs without knowing how many steps it will take every time you press the space key.
Are you ready? Let's compete with the students!
After this, let's watch the heated competition again.
On the official website of the program, you can see the works of Web Fusion and Scratch made by the members in the past.
There is also a post form of the viewers, so please check it out.
The competition using Scratch. Who will win?
Now, it's time for the actual game.
It's a cat race battle!
I won't lose.
The rules are very simple. The person who makes the cat run and reach the goal first wins.
Let's do it. When you reach the goal, raise your hand and tell me.
Ready, start!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Shinji-kun?
The fastest one is Noguchi-san!
Congratulations!
Why are you so fast?
My right hand...
You've been playing games for hours a day.
That's the game world.
The number of rounds has increased, and it's more like a game than a computer.
It was fun.
Next time, we will use the teaching material of Prosta Kids Online to try programming in Minecraft.
Please look forward to it!
Why?
