Learning Activities

Description

The lesson starts by explaining to students how important is to give priority at an intersection. Then teacher analyzes how semantics work in a computer processor. The next step is to share with students worksheets with instructions and then students are ready to start coding.

In order to achieve our goal which is students to learn and use the basic programming structures we will use the obstetric teaching method. We will share with students some basic information and step by step students will build the program on their own and they will find the algorithm themselves  in order to solve the problem.
