Ready to challenge your students’ knowledge of Computer Science while getting them up and moving about?
This versatile resource is perfect for assessing prior knowledge, measuring understanding of recently taught concepts, or evaluating learning outcomes effortlessly, all while offering a refreshing departure from the usual routine.
Featuring 25 multiple-choice task cards covering 5 categories:
Programming Fundamentals
Data Structures
Algorithms
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
Databases and SQL
Also included is:
1 student sheet for recording answers
1 answer sheet for easy grading
High-quality PNG files, ideal for projecting on a class screen for whole-class engagement.
To get started with these cards, follow these steps:
Print out the cards and laminate them for durability. Then, cut them into individual cards for ease of use.
Next, provide each student with a worksheet. This will allow them to record their answers and keep track of their progress.
Distribute the cards around the classroom or set them up in a designated learning center. Students can then choose where to start and work their way through the cards in any order they wish.
After completion, check/review answers.
Other delivery options:
Maximize the versatility of the PNG files by opting for digital display instead of printing. Display the cards individually on your laptop or projector and have students respond either individually, in pairs, or teams. You can choose to reveal answers after each question or at the end according to your preference.
Experience interactive fun with the “4 corners” game, where students move to designated corners based on their answer choices until only one remains. Perfect as a first-day, ice-breaker activity!
For long-lasting use, consider laminating the cards to preserve their quality, ensuring they remain a valuable resource in your teaching toolkit for years to come.
Best Wishes!
