 INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE

For the facilitator:

Welcome to Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE Self-Learning

Module on ICT-Programming for Robotics (Exploratory Course).

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social and economic constraints
in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE Self-

Learning Module on ICT-Programming for Robotics (Exploratory Course).

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is
often used to depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may
learn, create and accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource
signifies that you as a learner is capable and empowered to successfully
achieve the relevant competencies and skills at your own pace and time. Your
academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time.
You will be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while
being an active learner.

 What’s In
This is a brief drill or review to help you link the current lesson with the
previous one.

In your previous year, you have been writing code that executes the
same way each time it is run. Today you will be learning and begin to code
with conditionals which functions differently depending on the conditions the
program encounters.

What’s New
In this portion, the new lesson will be introduced to you in various ways; a
story, a song, a poem, a problem opener, an activity or a situation.

Look at the picture above, the clouds with a “?” mark can be a flower
or a honeycomb (dugos). What will the bee do if it is a flower? Or if it is a
honeycomb? (Think for 1 minute for your own answer before proceeding to
the next paragraph.)

DepED-Division of Lapu-Lapu City 7 TLE/TVL

 What Is It
This section provides a brief discussion of the lesson. This aims to help you
discover and understand new concepts and skills.

You will be going to use a conditional block. Conditionals are

statements that will only run under certain conditions. Condition is
something a program checks to see if it is true before allowing it to perform.

The if/else blocks will allow for a more flexible program. The bee will
only collect nectar IF there is a flower or make honey IF there is a honeycomb.
You will practice and recognize a connection between if/else blocks and while
loops in this lesson.

What I Have Learned

This includes questions or blank sentence/paragraph to be filled in to process
what you learned from the lesson.

This time you go to your computer/laptop/smartphone and open the

hour of code website (code.org) then follow the following steps below.
1. Create/Log-in to your Code.org account (you can use your gmail or
facebook account).
2. Scroll down under the “My Dashboard” Tab.
3. Input the classroom code given by your teacher.
4. Click the Course your teacher has assigned to you.
5. Select Lesson 11. Conditionals with Bee
6. Finish the assigned course honestly.

What I Can Do
This section provides an activity which will help you transfer your new
knowledge or skill into real life situations or concerns.

Journal Prompts: Write a journal about what you have learned in the
Conditionals with Bee activity. The following questions will be your guide in

 What’s In
This is a brief drill or review to help you link the current lesson with the
previous one.

Upon reaching this lesson, you should already have plenty of practice
using repeat loops, so now it’s time to mix things up.

What’s New
In this portion, the new lesson will be introduced to you in various ways; a
story, a song, a poem, a problem opener, an activity or a situation.

Look closely at the code above. What will happen after you click “Run”?
A. Nothing will happen.
B. The farmer will never stop removing dirt.
C. The farmer will remove dirt as long as there is a pile, then
stop when the pile is gone.
D. I don't know.

Have you chosen an answer?

What Is It
This section provides a brief discussion of the lesson. This aims to help you
discover and understand new concepts and skills.

As you continue to deepen your knowledge of loops, you will come

DepED-Division of Lapu-Lapu City 6 TLE/TVL

across problems where a command needs to be repeated, but you do not know
how many times it will be repeated. This is where while loops come in.

While loops are loops that continue to repeat commands while a

condition is met. These kinds of loops are used when you don’t know the exact
number of times the commands will repeat but you know what condition
needs to be true in order for the loop to continue repeating. For example in
your What’s New activity above, when you click run, the farmer will remove
dirt as long as there is a pile of sand and will stop when the pile of sand is
gone.

In today’s lesson, you will develop a beginner’s understanding of

condition-based loops and also expand your knowledge of loops in general.

What I Have Learned

This includes questions or blank sentence/paragraph to be filled in to
