Abathuthuli abancinci, isitayela se-iPad
Ukubhala ulwazi lwekhompyutheni kubaluleke kakhulu namhlanje, kwaye ukubaluleka kukhula kuphela kwiminyaka ezayo. Ukwazi indlela yakho nge-spreadsheet ye-Excel ngeke kwanele kwisizukulwana esilandelayo. Ukuba nolwazi oluphambili kwiprogram luya kuba luleke xa abantwana beli xesha bengena kubasebenzi - kwaye kwiNgqungquthela Yomhlaba Ye-2016 (WWDC), i-Apple yamemezela ukuqaliswa kweprogram ye-iPad eya kukunceda ikulungele abantwana belixa elizayo: i-Swift Playgrounds .
Ukugxininisa ngokupheleleyo kwiilwimi ze- Apple ze- Swift , ii-Swift Playgrounds ziza kubonelela abantwana abaneengxaki ezinokusixazulula xa zifundisa izakhono ezisisiseko zokuqhafaza ezifunekayo ukuzisombulula. Ngethuba lenkcazo yeWWDC, omnye umzekelo ubonisa umlingisi ohamba ngeenxa zonke emacaleni kwesikwere. Ikhowudi enikeziwe yayinomgca uhambela ekupheleni kwecala kwaye uphenduke, kodwa ungaqhubeki. Isisombululo kukuba ikhowudi kufuneka iphindwephindwe kwicala ngalinye lesikwere, iholele umlingisi kwakhona ekuqaleni.
Ukufundisa iingcamango ezisisiseko ezifana nale nto ifundisa ngaphezu nje kweelwimi; ifundisa uhlobo lweengcamango eziya kusebenza ngaphandle kokuba zeziphi iiprogram zokufunda umfundi angayifumana kwixesha elizayo. Kwaye ngokubonelela ngendawo ebonakalayo ecaleni ngecala kunye neengxaki ze-Swift Playgrounds zokubhala, abantwana banokubona iziphumo zemizamo yabo ngexesha langempela, banikeze ukuqonda okungcono kwento yokwenza ngokulandelayo.
I-Swift Playgrounds ayiyona nto yodwa kwimakethe xa kuziwa ekunikeni abantwana ithuba lokwenza ikhowudi, kunjalo. Kwi-iOS, iintlobo ezininzi zeenketho zifumaneke - ukusuka kwiHopscotch ukuya kwibhola ye-robotic yeSphero SPRK. Ukufuduka kwilizwe le-mobile, iMIT Media Lab Scratch ifundisa abantwana kwiwebhu isiseko seprogram ukususela ngo-2005.
Ngaphandle kweprogram, kukho uluhlu lwezinto ezikhethiweyo zokuzisa abantwana ngenjongo yokuyila umdlalo, ukusuka kwizitena zomzimba zeBloxels ebusweni obuqhelekileyo be-Adventure Time Game Wizard.
Yintoni eyenza i-Swift Playgrounds ngaphandle kwabaninzi bezokhuphiswano, ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuzibophezela kwayo ngokungapheliyo kwiilwimi ze-Apple zolimi. Ukususela kokungeniswa kwayo kwi-WWDC 2014, iSwift ibone ukuthotyelwa komntwana phakathi kwabaphuhlisi be-iOS. Ngaloo mbhalo, yilo li-14 ulwimi oludumileyo lwenkqubo kwihlabathi ngokwemiqathango ye-Tiobe Index. Ukuba nesizukulwana sezingane eziyazi ngaphakathi nangaphandle? Ndiyicinga ukuba akuwona umbono ogqithiseleyo wekamva apho i-Apple ihleli khona.
Ukudalwa yi-Apple kunika i-Swift Playgrounds izinto ezintle, ngokunjalo. Ngokomzekelo, baye bavelisa ikhibhodi ehambelana neemfuno ezizodwa zohlelo lwe-Swift, enikeza ngokuzenzekelayo okubonisa iingcamango ezilandelayo ezifunekayo. I-Swift Playgrounds iya kukwahlula kunye nekhono elikhulayo lomsebenzisi, ukuqhubela phambili kwiibhloko zokwakha kwi-Swift ukuya kwimingeni ephezulu kunye nemigqaliselo.
"I-Swift Playgrounds ayifuni ukuba nolwazi lwekhowudi, ngoko kufezekileyo kubafundi nje ukuqala," ifundela i-website ye-Swift Playgrounds esemthethweni. "Kwakhona kunika indlela ekhethekileyo yabaphuhlisi bexesha elinokukhawuleza ukuzisa iingcamango ebomini. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba yakhelwe ukuba isebenzise ngokupheleleyo i-iPad, yinto yokuqala yokufunda enomusa."
Ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuba ngumntwana onobubele akuthethi ukuba yizingane kuphela. Abasebenzisi abasebenzisa i-iPad bananoma yiphi iminyaka kufuneka bafumane i-Swift Playgrounds ukuba bangeniso eluncedo kwihlabathi leprogram. Izifundo ezizimeleyo zithembisa ukufundisa ezi zinto zilandelayo: iilawulwayo, imisebenzi, izitshixo, iiparitha, ikhowudi yomqathango, iinguqu, abaqhubi, iintlobo, ukuqaliswa kunye nokulungiswa kwegciwane.
Nangona kungekho lusuku lokukhishwa oluthile oluqinisekisiweyo njengalolu hlobo, i-Swift Playgrounds isetyenziswe ukubetha iSitolo se-App ku-Fall 2016 kuphela i-iPad kwaye iya kufumaneka njengokukhuphela mahala. I-Apple ayengakacacisekanga ukuba yiyiphi imodeli ye-iPad eya kufuneka ukuba isebenze, kodwa ngokuqwalasela i-target targeted skews yabo encinci encinane kwicala elincinci, siya kugcina iminwe yethu iwele ukuba iya kuxhasa yonke into ephantsi kwam iPads ukuba umama nobaba bahlale bekhaba malunga nendlu.
