We're going to be looking at the history of computers and computing. This unit will also start you using the different Google apps and learn how to share work and attach it to your blog post for each lesson.
Don't worry if it's all very new to start with; you'll soon get the hang of it!
Just remember - don't panic if you don't understand! Take a deep breath in, then out.....and ask! :-)
Lesson Objectives and Outcomes:
Define: What is meant by the term computer (Level 3)
Explain: Why people think Stonehenge could be the first computer (Level 4)
Create: A post on your blog about the first computer (Level 5)
Your tasks
1. Go to your blog and open a new post. Title this post the same as this one.
2. Open a new internet tab at the top of your screen.
3. At the top right of the new screen, you should see a 3 x 3 grid of squares. Click on this and look for 'Slides' (it's yellow). Click on it.
4. Click on this link to a special slide show / movie (called a Prezi). It will take you to some information abut Stonehenge.

Click on the right-facing arrow at the bottom to go through it.
5. You are going to write information on your slideshow (it works like a PowerPoint but saves as it goes along) about the following questions:
a) what is Stonehenge?
b) when was it built?
c) why do people think it was built? What was its purpose?
d) why can Stonehenge be called a "computer"?
6. Try and add some images to your slides.
7. Go back to your new post for this lesson. Copy/paste the learning objectives from my blog onto the top of your post (copy = ctrl-c, paste = ctrl-v).
8. Ask me how you share your slideshow correctly and copy/paste the link to your blog post.
9. Under your slideshow link on your post, write down what level you think you have achieved and why.
Publish your post!
