Various Tech Tips from Patrick Hausammann regarding a variety of Ed Tech tools.
The students will visualize how the properties of Quadrilaterals can help them determine the exact shape of the figure. The students will create a model of the properties and compare them to the results the students have from data they have found
This is a set of printable classroom posters to display terminology and pictures for students.
The pack includes:
Mouse
Printer
Touch screen
Tablet
Mobile Device
Desktop Computer
Keyboard
Laptop
Students will read a passage, extract useful and meaningful data, organize and clean the data, and finally represent the data as a graph. Using the following site:https://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/6.8 The student will use computational tools to collect, organize, and clean data to make it more useful and reliable.
In this CS First lesson, students will engage in hands-on coding activities to illustrate an energy transformation scenario of their choice, identifying and explaining at least four different types of energy involved in the process.
Women code-breakers changed the course of WWII by cracking Japanese codes that revealed the movements of people and supplies in the Pacific Islands. In this lesson, students will learn how specific information discovered led to a turning point when cryptographers were able to pinpoint the plans of the Pearl Harbor Attack’s “architect”, Admiral Yamomoto.Students will examine videos and articles to find out more about this episode in history. In pairs or small groups, they’ll look at the US Post Office’s newly revealed stamp commemorating it. They’ll identify what they think are the pros and cons of the stamp and then design their own.
This game is played the same way you would play hopscotch.
This lesson is designed to engage students in a meaningful and fun coding experience, while investigating sanitation practices, food, and kitchen safety. Students will create an animated story using block-based coding in Scratch. This overarching lesson idea (research – storyboard – code) can be applied to any subject.
Spice things up with students by programming BeeBot to go to specific numbers as a way to reinforce multiples and common factors. Activity cards, a brief overview, and a student planning sheet are included.
Students will use Bee-bots to code the robots to a value matching their selected coin card. They’ll count the coins, create a code with arrow cards, and navigate the Bee-bot from the start box to the designated value. After reaching the target, they’ll explain their coding and counting choices. Then, they’ll return to start, allowing their partner to take a turn. This activity is also compatible with the Learning Resources Code and Go Mouse.
In this professional development presentation, educators learn about Collecting and Analyzing Data (2 of the 7 components of Computational Thinking, according the Ignite My Future platform). This presentation can be used by individuals to learn about them, or used to present to others. The video is a recording of one of the sessions provided to teachers through a 7 week series of "CT Parties".Within this resource, you will find the presentation slides, a recording, a K-2 and 3-5 lesson to build collecting and analyzing data skills, and activities to support parents understanding and home use of the strategy. This lesson is part of the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline which is partly funded through a GO Virginia grant in partnership with Chesapeake Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, and the Loudoun Education Foundation.
Introducing Data collection and Analysis:
This activity include a data collection sheet and questions to analyze the data.
The activity can be done as a whole group, small group, or by individual students.
Estimated time from start to finish is 30-45 minutes based on prior knowledge.
In this lesson students will collect items in nature. They will then count, graph, and analyze the data they collected. The lesson is set up to use a bar graph, but any graph can be used.
This video tutorial shows an easy way to collect and analyze data with students using Google Forms and Google Sheets.
This resource is a downloadable pdf listing common TCP/UDP ports for a computer. It is very useful as a quick reference when trying to find a certain port number.
This is a simple word search puzzle using 25 common computer networking terms.The puzzle is attached to this resource with the answer key included.
Observe how computer networks function and make connections to the different ways we communicate (both in written form and modern forms). The students will discuss, in a whole class setting, how information can be communicated electronically and transmitted using computing devices via a network (e.g., email, social media, video conferencing, blogging).
This set of slides can be used to lead early elementary students in a conversation about how we communicate with others.
This performance task is designed for third grade students and higher to compare and contrast a group of items based on attributes or actions classified into at least two sets and subsets. The items being classified are polygons. The use of algorithms and flowcharts is also a key component of the performance task.
Lesson plan discussing and exploring how computer screens and TVs make colors and how colors are broken down into RGB values.
