Objectives

  • learn how to show a series of image frames on the LED screen, pausing the specified time after each frame
  • learn how to repeat code in the background forever

Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework

Algorithms

  • Uses diagrams to express solutions.(AB)
  • Represents solutions using a structured notation (AL) (AB)
  • Can identify similarities and differences in situations and can use these to solve problems (pattern recognition)(GE)

Programming & Development

  • Creates programs that implement algorithms to achieve given goals (AL)

Communication Networks

  • Demonstrates responsible use of technologies and online services, and knows a range of ways to report concerns Understands how search engines rank search results (AL)

Information Technology

  • Collects, organizes, and presents data and information in digital content (AB)
  • Makes appropriate improvements to solutions based on feedback received, and can comment on the success of the solution (EV)

Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation
