This lesson will teach students key vocabulary needed to understand computing systems. The lesson starts by showing a video to introduce key vocabulary terms. Then, teacher and students will have a class discussion to review components of a computer, hardware/software and input/output, and how to resolve problems when using a device. Teacher will facilitate a Kahoot, and students will answer each question individually to review material learned throughout the lesson. To wrap up the lesson, students will be asked to complete an exit slip by matching pictures to the correct terms (hardware, software, input, output).

Students will work independently, or in groups, to explore computer response times for start-up; application and program run times; serch engine speeds; and powering off the computer in safe and efficient ways using stopwatches and averaging load times. Students will draw conclutions through a series of questions and comparisons to understand that variables in the user data collection, system byte sizes, storage limitations, multiple known and unknow tasks running behind the scenes, and/or internet stability/instability can all directly affect the computer's ability to respond accurately, and in a timely manner to user requests as well as perform as expected (with errors or success and/or lag time) and quickly.

When two newly-minted instructional technology resource teachers went to the administration in Washington County, Virginia with an idea for a mobile technology lab, they were met with a resounding YES, after which they had to figure out how to make it happen. Andrew Smith and Thomas Larimer join Activated Learning podcast host Tom Landon to share how they created a trailer that contains drones as well as virtual reality and robotics equipment. Now that trailer travels the mountain roads of their rural county to bring state of the art learning opportunities to teachers and students while maximizing the investment in teaching tools for the county.

Students will explore how computers are embedded in the activities of their ‘every day’ through keeping a technology journal and sharing their timeline with a group of students or the class. Through this activity, students learn to find examples of their own definition of computing before engaging in the class discussion about how we might choose to classify computers by their characteristics. Students end the activity by designing a technology that solves a common/current problem in their own routine (“I wish there was a computer that could help me…..”). Through this examination, students will learn that computers can do many things to help humans solve problems on micro and macro levels.A supplementary lesson plan for ECS Unit 1, days 1-2 by Perry Shank

Events in computer science are the triggers for making action happen, like selecting the play button on any screen. Events in Scratch are represented by the yellow codes including: when flag clicked, when sprite clicked, when key pressed and broadcast. Broadcasting is the most advanced event in Scratch and helps with interactions between sprites like pacing their conversations or changing levels.
