Explaining emojis as symbols and then gradually coming to image encoding, as example showing base64. #ict #encoding #utf24 May 2024 09:09 +0000at://did:plc:fwgsjg3ocft5ctsvdyea2mzv/app.bsky.feed.post/3kt7y6ohre22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/svechnikov.bsky.social/post/3kslwisj4rc2rSometimes I substitute other teachers for their class, I try to do cross-ICT-lesson then. At recent Science class students asked me to watch memes on youtube :) sure I've refused, but I decided to make lesson about Meme term, so we talked about genes, Richard Dawkins, replication, mutation etc. #ict16 May 2024 09:46 +0000at://did:plc:fwgsjg3ocft5ctsvdyea2mzv/app.bsky.feed.post/3kslwisj4rc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/svechnikov.bsky.social/post/3ksj67z4czo2kI start to introduce encryption as a concept in grade 4 with Caesar cipher and continue in grade 5 with ROT-13 and frequency analysis making cultural references to Poe's The Gold-Bug and Doyle's "The Adventure of the Dancing Men", giving them stories as homework to read. #teaching #ict #cryptography15 May 2024 07:27 +0000at://did:plc:fwgsjg3ocft5ctsvdyea2mzv/app.bsky.feed.post/3ksj67z4czo2khttps://bsky.app/profile/svechnikov.bsky.social/post/3ks7gzook4x2iFor 6 grade I've made several lessons on critical thinking and rationality. We been solving several logical puzzles on various platforms and talking about fake news and fact checking tools.

For international school I feel particularly important to teach about Unicode in comparison with ASCII for example. Unicode is perfect example of how technology impact international communication. #ict #utf22 Apr 2024 06:31 +0000at://did:plc:fwgsjg3ocft5ctsvdyea2mzv/app.bsky.feed.post/3kqpaf7sc6a2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/svechnikov.bsky.social/post/3kpfd7gsqa622Today with 2 grades I've tried combining 2 tools in order to tech them... well many things reading, drawing using computer input devices, typing and translating words. So used we Quick, Draw! and Google Translate. It's especially useful with for international schools. #teaching #ICT05 Apr 2024 14:30 +0000at://did:plc:fwgsjg3ocft5ctsvdyea2mzv/app.bsky.feed.post/3kpfd7gsqa622https://bsky.app/profile/svechnikov.bsky.social/post/3koy63jicxe26For grade [1..4] I often give logic puzzle as brain teasers.

Another approach that helps to learn special symbols is #ascii_art it requires only text editor any OS has it. Along with special symbols students improve their spatial skills and navigation with arrows, space and enter keys. #teaching #ICT29 Feb 2024 17:52 +0000at://did:plc:fwgsjg3ocft5ctsvdyea2mzv/app.bsky.feed.post/3kml5qw3nza23https://bsky.app/profile/svechnikov.bsky.social/post/3kmhmwuwedr2eIn ICT lab we have about 10 desktops and 8 laptops with Windows and Linux. It gives students a different perspective on hardware and software. Sometimes students complain over touchpad vs mouse or Windows vs Xfce, but I prepare lessons in such way so they can do it on any computer. #teaching #ICT28 Feb 2024 08:14 +0000at://did:plc:fwgsjg3ocft5ctsvdyea2mzv/app.bsky.feed.post/3kmhmwuwedr2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/svechnikov.bsky.social/post/3kmfazd3gyh2dI teach ICT in GAHS since Sep 2023. I've started with grades [1..6] with ICT class, and [7,8] with Web Design and in I was asked to tech [9..11] as well with Programming with Python class.
