Teacher Manual 3

Foreword

Uolo’s Tekie program offers a coding-focused curriculum for grades 1 to 8, preparing students for the technology-driven world. We present a carefully crafted Teacher Manual to assist teachers in delivering effective and engaging lessons to students. Rather than prescribing teaching methods, the manual provides examples and demonstrates how and why teachers can apply these examples in their classes.

The Teacher Manual includes a suggested implementation plan to help teachers navigate the curriculum better throughout the academic year. Within the academic year, the Tekie program prescribes the following types of chapters and sessions:

Familiarisation: this period builds familiarity with the Tekie program and the digital platform.

Theory: these periods are dedicated to the Computer Science Theory chapters. These topics are mostly delivered in the classroom.

Tools: these periods are dedicated to the Computer Tools chapters. These topics involve almost equal numbers of classroom and computer labs sessions.

Coding: these periods are dedicated to the Coding chapters. These topics have more computer lab sessions.

Additional Hands-on Time: these are additional computer lab periods that teachers can use to revise topics or dedicate for completion of projects.

Revision: these are additional classroom periods that teachers can use to revise topics or cover syllabus backlogs.

Each chapter in this manual is structured to provide a comprehensive lesson plan. The chapters are divided into multiple sessions, each following the Warm up, Engage, Build, and Sum up (WEBS) strategy. The Warm up phase sets the stage for learning by connecting to prior knowledge and building curiosity. The Engage phase captures the students’ attention and motivates them to participate actively. In the Build phase, questions from various sections are discussed to build the understanding of the students. Finally, the Sum up phase reinforces learning through easy-to-recall activities and questions. Time duration for each section has been suggested based on the requirements of the students. Additionally, an answer key for every chapter is provided to assist teachers in assessing their students’ understanding and guiding their learning effectively.

Lastly, we understand that the Indian education landscape is quite diverse. To suit the needs of all types of schools, we have built-in extra higher-order chapters in the content books. These extra chapters are clearly marked in the table of contents of this manual. We suggest that the teacher completes the main chapters first and then move to higher-order optional chapters only if there is sufficient time left in the academic year and learners are ready for more challenging content.

We hope that this teacher manual will empower teachers to use the curriculum effectively, support the learning of all students thoroughly, create learning opportunities and design interactive learning environments that cater to the students’ needs and interests.

The Case Lost Memory

Knowing a Computer

Story Time

Story in a Nutshell…

Mel and Conji go to the hidden library to explore the secrets that are hidden there. They see some pictures and information on the screen. Suddenly, darkness surrounds Mel, and she loses her memory. They get to know that Lord Ero is behind this, and he didn’t want Mel to know about the secret information. They search for the small pictures and words in the library. They finally manage to know with the help of First Elder Robot that they are strong weapons that Lord Ero is making to hurt Avora. Ms Idea tells them about an envelope which contains all the required information, and they search for it. Also, Mr Geebal and Mr Time helps Conji in restoring Mel’s memory by using different ways. Mel and Conji think about creating a weapon against Lord Ero, but the Elders explain to them that a weapon for a weapon is not a good idea. They also give them a document to create a new and powerful spell. There is a battle between the kids and Lord Ero where they use the spell on him with the help of the Elders. They finally manage to get rid of him. Everyone is proud of Mel and Conji.

Story in This Chapter…

● Mel and Conji have gone to visit a hidden library.

Mel and Conji go to the hidden library to explore the secrets that it is hiding. They see some pictures and information on the screen. Suddenly, darkness surrounds Mel, and she loses her memory. They get to know that Lord Ero is behind this, and he didn’t want Mel to know about the secret information. They search for small pictures and words in the library. They finally manage to know with the help of First Elder Robot that they are strong weapons that Ero is making to harm Avora. Ms Idea tells them about an envelope which contains all the required information, and they search for it. Also, Mr Geebal and Mr Time help Conji restore Mel’s memory by using different ways. Mel and Conji think about creating a weapon against Lord Ero, but the Elders explain to them that a weapon for a weapon is not a good idea. They also give them a document to create a new and powerful spell. There is a battle between the kids and Lord Ero, where they use the spell on him with the help of the Elders.

Story in a Nutshell…

Mel and Conji go to the hidden library to explore the secrets that it is hiding. They see some pictures and information on the screen. Suddenly, darkness surrounds Mel, and she loses her memory. They get to know that Lord Ero is behind this, and he didn’t want Mel to know about the secret information. They search for the small pictures and words in the library. They finally manage to know with the help of First Elder Robot that they are strong weapons that Ero is making to harm Avora. Ms Idea tells them about an envelope which contains all the required information, and they search for it. Also, Mr Geebal and Mr Time help Conji restore Mel’s memory by using different ways. Mel and Conji think about creating a weapon against Lord Ero but the Elders explain to them that a weapon for a weapon is not a good idea. They also give them a document to create a new and powerful spell. There is a battle between the kids and Lord Ero, where they use the spell on him with the help of the Elders. They manage to get rid of him finally. Everyone is proud of Mel and Conji.

E. Answer the Following.

1. Loops within a condition can be compared to doing a repeated action as long as a certain condition is true. It is like telling the computer, “Keep doing this until something specific happens”. For example, it is like telling a robot to keep picking up toys until the room is clean. The loop is the robot’s way of doing the same action (picking up toys) until the condition (the room is clean) is met.

2. If the condition in a project is false, it means that the computer follows a different set of instructions or does something else. It is like telling a robot to play outside only if it is sunny. If it is not sunny (the condition is false), the robot might stay inside or do a different activity according to the new instructions. So, if the condition is false, the project or program will take an alternative action or follow a different path.
