Students will watch a Brainpop Jr. video and another video and answer questions. At the end they will demonstrate their knowledge by sorting hardware and software into the correct categories.This lesson can be used in the Teacher-Paced or Student-Paced Modes.
These fall themed digital codings mats are great for teaching beginners how to code or as a fun coding activity for a math center, STEAM/ STEM activity, technology center, or Hour of Code activity. Students will be instructed to keep the presentation in edit mode. They will then drag and drop the arrows on the slide to code a path for the fall items at the top of each mat to get to the fall items at the bottom of each mat. But, BEWARE of the X's! Any space with an X has to be avoided and they mu
This Robot Mouse Virtual Coding Challenge template in Google Slides allows you and your students to create a virtual maze and then come up with the algorithm to solve the maze. While it is not optimized necessarily for use on tablets, since it's quite difficult to move the shapes around without accidentally resizing or distorting them, it works great on a desktop or laptop. There are several directional arrows layered one on top of the other to create the illusion of infinite cloning. If more ar
