Year 2 ICT Lesson Fun

“The mind, once enlightened, cannot again become dark.” – Thomas Paine

In ICT class, our Year 2 students have been having some fun learning about algorithms. In computer science, programming and mathematics, an algorithm is a sequence of instructions.

They received some instructions to follow on how to create a robot. Some of the instructions included drawing the head, face and body of a robot as well as creating a fun background and even more importantly – giving their robot a name!

The students learnt how they can use algorithms to describe ordinary activities in our everyday life. For example, we can consider a recipe as an algorithm for cooking a particular food. This will help them to understand how coding works when we code games and programs.

At this stage, the students are using the iPads to create some algorithms on Grok Learning by building their robot on the iPad.
