K-5 students can focus on how CS changes everything around them, and 6-12 students can identify connections to many career industries. c_deljuidice https://padlet.com/c_deljuidice/9kzpegui0ny4p45f/wish/1843444504 K-5 Guiding Questions: 

  • What is the main message of the video? 

  • What are ways that CS changes things around you? 

  • Reflection Question:
    Do you agree or disagree with the message, “CS is changing everything?” Why or or why not?

  • Think-Pair-Share: Give students 3 minutes to reflect on the theme. With a partner, students each have 1 minute to share their reflection. As a whole group, have a few groups share their thoughts.
  • Students can extend their learning by exploring a PBL unit or go deeper into a reflection on how computer science changes six industries: Agriculture, Fashion, Medicine, Energy, Public Safety, and Art and Entertainment. This can provide students an opportunity to individually and collaboratively brainstorm how computer science changes these areas. 

6-12 Guiding Questions: 

  • What is the main message of the video? 

  • What are ways that CS changes things around you?
  • Reflection Question:
    Do you agree or disagree with the message, “CS is changing everything?” Why or or why not?

  • Think-Pair-Share: Give students 3 minutes to reflect on the theme. With a partner, students each have 1 minute to share their reflection. As a whole group, have a few groups share their thoughts.
  • The video identifies how computer science changes six industry categories: Agriculture, Fashion, Medicine, Energy, Public Safety, and Art and Entertainment. However, each state has its unique way of categorizing industry sectors. This lesson can be extended by having students learn about different career categories and identify the many ways that CS is changing those fields. The ideas in the video are a great place to start, but there are endless possibilities!
