eLearning

In my previous post, I mentioned some examples and projects that can be implemented using Raspberry-Pi. Most of the projects can be implemented using high-level programming languages like Java, Python, C++, etc. However, these programming languages might not be easy for kids, and hence they can’t use Raspberry-Pi! Fortunately, MIT invented Scratch programming language for kids, and this language can be implemented and used on Raspberry-Pi. Scratch is now used allover the world, and many interesting projects are developed using it. Below videos explain what is Scratch and what kids can do with it! In this video Philip (7 years) explains how he used Scratch and Raspberry-Pi to create and program his game! You can learn how to use Scratch with Raspberry-Pi from below video References: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXUZaf5D12A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok6LbV6bqaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIHKM8_F4RA https://www.youtube

Raspberry-Pi helps teachers and learners to learn and practice. Here are three useful projects and ideas that might inspire you! Weather It’s important and useful to learn about weather. Instructors can help students to understand and apply data collection related to weather. RPi can be used with sensors and programmed to collect, analyze, and present the data. Here is. Here is how . Science Students can investigate various concepts from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, using a Raspberry Pi and a Sense HAT . Here is how . Networking I remember my Networking classes. They were board, as we were trying to learn a practical topic with no practice! Young learners shouldn’t suffer, thanks to RPi. Here is how . These are just a few examples, and there are much more. You can explore them at this link .   Reference: https://www.raspberrypi.org/resources/

In my previous post, I talked about the hardware, the solid component of the RPi. In this post, I will talk about the soft component, the software which plays an important role. The software has the logic and utilizes the hardware to perform the required tasks and application. As you know already know, RPi is an open platform hardware, and this is very true for the software too. In other words, developers and learners can create and develop their own operating system from scratch, or they can use available flavors which are all open for learners to either customize or use-as-is! 1.  Raspbian : which is the official supported OS and can be downloaded from RPi official website directly. Below video explains how to download it. 2. Ubuntu MATE : Martin Wimpress and Rohith Madhavan have made an Ubuntu MATE image for the Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 based on the regular Ubuntu OS. Here is a video on how to download it to RPi. 3. Windows 10 IOT CORE : Tech people say: M
