Lesson 4: What else can computers do?

Learners needing support:

• Should become familiar with the devices beforehand.
• Could discuss each example before matching the cards, referring back to examples from earlier in the lesson.
• Could use a sentence stem to support talk: For example, “The computer tells the ___ to ___.”

Learners working at a stretch:

• Could use the sentence builder to describe how a computer program controls a device.
• Should explain why computers are useful for controlling certain things, for example, “It is faster” or “It keeps people safe”.
• Could give their own examples of devices that use computer control in school or at home.
