Talent Development!

This term we are doing talent development.
I'm doing ICT/Robots. It is so fun.I have learnt how to use Alice 2.2 and it is amazing.

One thing I have learnt on Alice is now I know how to make things move around and talk.

Now we are going to learn Scratch it is going to be fun as well.
At the end of the term we are going to make a tutorial about one of the things we have learnt!

Joseph Renzulli

Joseph Renzulli is a man that studies giftedness.
He made this three ring model of giftedness.
These three sentences "Above Average Ability, Task commitment and Creativity"  are what Renzulli thought you needed to have to be gifted!
Above Average Ability means you work higher than what you need to so your higher than the rest of your people in your age group.
Creativity means thinking out side of the box.
Task commitment means if you say your going to do something you actually do it.
If you are all of these things Renzulli would think you were gifted!
