Risk Check for New Tech
Rating
0.0 stars

What privacy risks do new technologies present, and how do we decide if they're worth it? New tech, like location services and smart devices, helps make our lives easier and opens opportunities that didn't exist before. But these innovations also come with a cost -- especially to our privacy. Help students consider the benefits and drawbacks of these new technologies -- and decide whether they're ultimately worth it. Approximately 50 mins.

LESSON OBJECTIVES: Identify important benefits and privacy risks that new technologies present. Decide whether or not the benefits of new technologies outweigh their privacy risks. Use the Take a Stand thinking routine to consider both the benefits and the risks of new technologies.

Robotics Project (Lesson 1 of 5): Project Overview
Rating
0.0 stars

For the Unit 2 Project, your students will choose from three different project options each with a different user, then use design thinking, robotics, and entrepreneurship to create a Sphero RVR solution for a real-world problem! The projects will guide the students through the problem, precedents of existing robotic solutions, users with interviews for empathy mapping, a budget worksheet for building, and finally a programming challenge that can be implemented and tested. In Lesson 1, each student will read all three project overview and choose the project they want to work on for the remaining lessons!

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Code Editor, Laptop/Desktop, Robotics Kit, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will learn more about their user and complete the first two steps in the Design Thinking process: Empathize and Define. In Lesson 2, each student will choose one user to create an Empathy Map for one user based on their Project Choice from Lesson 1, either 2A, 2B or 2C. Students should only work on the lesson that corresponds to their project choice. For example, if a student chose Project 2A, they would only work on the Project 2A Content.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Computer science is a subject that is becoming more important to teach our students to prepare them for their future. Coding and having a basic understanding of different coding languages will be key for our students to feel truly ready for college or their career. Introducing students to these concepts can be a daunting task. This content package is created to try and alleviate some of those concerns. Within this content package for students in grades 5-8, educators will find lesson plans and activities that will help teach introductory computer science concepts. Educators will also find eBooks and digital texts to share with students, as well as videos to help guide students’ understanding of computer science.

Students explore the world of George Clinton and his impact on the music industry through sampling. They will start with a 5-minute activity where they listen to George Clinton talk about sampling and summarize his views. Next, they'll listen to songs that have sampled George Clinton's music, comparing them to the original versions. Students then create their own beat or song using George Clinton's music. After class, students have at least 20 minutes to continue working on their beat or song and can choose to share it on Instagram, email it to the teacher, or submit it to Kinfolk Education for a chance to be featured on social media. This lesson provides students with a hands-on way to understand the significance of sampling in the music industry and the impact of influential figures like George Clinton.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.
