Computer Science Fundamentals Unit 2 Course A Lesson 4: Sequencing with Angry Birds (2018)

Subject Area

Digital Literacy and Computer Science

Grade(s)

K

Overview

This lesson will give students an idea of what to expect when they head to the computer lab. It begins with a brief discussion introducing them to computer lab manners, then they will progress into using a computer to complete online puzzles. The main goal of this lesson is to build students' experience with computers. By covering the most basic computer functions such as clicking, dragging, and dropping, we are creating a more equal playing field in the class for future puzzles. This lesson also provides a great opportunity to introduce proper computer lab behavior.
