Automation - 2018 Fall Conferences

Students develop a sequence of steps to create and test automated solutions.
​

Automation: Having computers or machines do repetitive or tedious tasks.
Sequence of steps: A series of ordered steps taken to solve a problem or achieve some end; an algorithm, for example, as part of computer programming, including coding.
Automated solution: A computer-aided solution that completes a task.
Student / Parent Conference Summary
Most all of you have proven that without help, you can code a computer to automate a task.
Today, everyone will have a chance to support the learning of others by teaching how to code a computer to automate a task. This will help strengthen your confidence for inviting your parents to the computer lab to teach them the same computer programming that you have been learning.

Feel free to stop by with your parents on either of the Thursday evenings of November 7 or November 14.
I will be in the computer lab to help you if you need me from 4:30 to 7:30.

Who already feels strong about their ability to teach the computer programming we have already practiced since the start of this year? Please stand and come up to the white board. Now, I want to partner you so you can teach another student how to teach computer programming.

You and your partner will take turns teaching what you have learned to each other. These are the same learning samples that you will choose from to teach your parents. Have fun role playing with your partner and teach them the same way you would teach your parents. Remember, most of your parents have not done this kind of coding like you have, so take your time and explain the steps in a way that your parents will learn and understand.
