Google for Education: Children and Technology: Sorting

In this presentation show how fast web search is implemented. Create sample web pages, then have crawlers collect these pages, sorters sort them, and searchers retrieve the information.

Students experience what is it like to be computer programmers through the children's computer coding game, Scratch, developed by MIT engineers.

Take a a look at examples of functions, and then explore functions representing arithmetic operations followed by boolean and string types. Throughout the workshop children do various assignments calculating function result or drawing a...

Experience what it's like to work in the field of technology, and take on something never done before. Brainstorm, prototype, plan, implement, work in a team, coordinate between teams, learn from failures or enjoy a success.

Students play the main computer components like a CPU, mouse, or IO controller to simulate calculator application by moving a mouse, synchronizing it with the mouse pointer on the screen and sending request to the processor.

Experience being a button on a touch screen, feel the power and control of an operating system, be as smart as a processor. During this activity, students simulate a calculator application.

Through attempts to perform tasks in sync with each other, students experience the computer science challenges of concurrency and synchronization.

Students simulate sending a secret message to a friend via the internet, attempting to deliver the message safely and securely.

Introduce students to the working capability of the CPU of a computer. Look at instructions given to the processor to do simple arithmetic functions and how registers are used.

How are the numbers stored in a computer? Have learners think of binary as a set of bulbs with on and off states. Take a look at how many numbers can be represented with a limited set of bulbs.
