Video: How computers work Input, output, processing code.org video

Input and Output:  students had a list of 5 images (computer, ipad, computer gaming system, etc)

They had to write what input would be for a computer: ex: input would be keyboard, monitor, mouse  output would be monitor, speakers, printer, power light

Wrap-up activity

Thursday, August 19

Algorithm at home activity

• Students wrote detailed instructions on how to tie their shoes, take out the trash, put on the pajamas, etc.

Friday, August 20

Students will explore www.code.org and find some coding related games to play. 

Monday, August 23, 2021

You will find it in your handouts folder in class notebook titled: What do coders actually do?

You will read the directions and then on Monday, you will do one coder you select and then on Tuesday, you will do your second coder you select. This will make more sense once you read instructions in assignment. I want it typed in a word document. Make sure you save it as coder1 and coder2 You will attach it to the What do coders actually do? document. Just attach it at the bottom. You will click within the document in a blank white space. Click on file tab at the top, find where you saved it as, and add it. I can help if needed.

Write the grilled cheese directions as specifically as possible

Share grilled cheese activity on teams class notebook and have students write detailed instructions on how to make a grilled cheese step by step.

Friday, August 27, 2021

Grilled cheese activity with algorithm

I will bring all the ingredients with me to make a grilled cheese.  Student will then have to individually read me their grilled cheese instructions.  I will then proceed to make the sandwich based on what they tell me ( I may or may not be able to make it based on their instructions)

Discuss when it is over, how important EACH step is and if you leave one out then things can’t work correctly or at all….

Monday

• Apps with Processing Lesson 6
• Student will do the apps with processing worksheet with the
  • If/then
  • Comparing
  • Counting
  • Finding a match
• Students will also be given a document with vocabulary terms on it for a quiz the next day
• Input - the information computers get from users, devices, or other computers
• Output - the information computers give to users, devices, or other computers

• Processing - the thinking work computers do to turn input into output

Four Kinds of Processing

• If/Then - If something is true, do something else.
• Comparing - Check whether things are the same, or one is bigger than the other.
• Finding a Match - Search a list or group of things for a match.
• Counting - Keep track of how many of something there are.
•  

Show students posters of the app creation project so they can get an idea of what is expected, etc.

Tuesday

• Students will take vocabulary quiz
• Students will do the apps and storage lesson (7)
