September 2019 Activities

  • Overview: Depending on the students' age, the teachers' specialty and the available hours/week for our project, we can run someof the below activities and share students' outcomes (quiz, game,poster..).

    Collaborative Outcome: create an oline collaborative picture dictionary by teachers and students about the computers' hardware (inside the computer, input and output devices). We will use SWAY web tool ( see discussion page and Collaborative Picture Dictionary Page).

    Computers and the Internet 

    Teachers- September 2019: 

     Students September 2019:

    • Learn how computers and the Internet work

    Activities' Goals: students have to :

    • realize why we need computers or/and Internet
    • how computers or/and Internet work
    • what are their impact on our daily life & environment 

     

    The main idea is to make the students understand that a computer:

    1) Uses Input data: here we can talk how those data are provided (keyboard, mouse, sensors..), their type (documents, pictures, audio, video), how computers see data (digit,bit, 0-1) 

    2) Process data: here we can talk about the CPU, the human brain, the processing speed of computers versus humans, maybe introduce a question about intelligence, what kind of processes can a computer do

    3) Gives an output: here we can talk about output devices, how important is the information's the computer give us, how the result of the process is dependent of the quality and accuracy of the input data

    4) Collect & Share data: where we can save those data and information (harddisks, usb, Cloud) , how we can share them (Internet, Internet of Things)
