Editor's Notes
- Binary (0 and 1) is used by computers at a low level to store, communication and process information.
- Arduino Uno - Single board computer. Create code on computer, copy it to Arduino via USB, disconnect USB, power up using DC power socket. It runs your program. It includes 2 rows on input and output to work with the outside world. Microcontroller - The central silicon chip on Arduino that takes care of processing, storage, memory, input, output, timing and communications. Chromebook - A laptop with Chrome Internet Browser only. Data is stored in the cloud and can be accessed by smartphone, tablet or computer. Baxter robot - Industrial robot with 2 arms. It has a simpler control interface and is relatively affordable.
- Young ICT Explorers 2014 - This is a competition where student propose projects and then later present the final products. There are projects shown from Brisbane and Townsville within the video. Look out for robot hockey, dance website and shopping centre map application.
- The web page code shows HTML5 Doctype, web page title, heading level 1 and a paragraph. You only need a text editor to make a web page.
- Seek is a large Australian web site to look for jobs. ICT has been the largest category for years. People working in ICT in Australia is expected to grow from 600,000 to 700,000 by 2020. Skills Framework of the Information Age is a list of 97 ICT skills. You can work out what skills you want to develop. Digital products like web pages, eBooks, digital audio and digital video can be made once and distributed worldwide.
- Many industries are changing with technological change. Some industries are changing faster than others. Look towards the top of the diagram. Understanding how technology works can help with careers in many industries.
- Skills can be developed over time. e.g. 1. Coding, 2 Arduino coding, 3 Arduino coding of robot controls.
- Hour of Code allows students to complete coding modules using a student Google+ or Microsoft accounts (no username and password). W3schools allows online programming web pages without login. Dev Guru provides PDF documents showing the commands you can use in coding.
