[Yr7-10it] Year 5-6 30 minute "taster"

[Clare, Ian J]

Hi Russell - I did the same thing last year. I taught them Gamemaker in
50 steps. I had a sheet that listed the steps they had to follow. I ran
them through it step by step using a data projector. By the time I got
to step 10 some wanted to go ahead of me and I let them. They loved it.
(I'll look for sheet and e-mail it to you)

Subject: [Yr7-10it] Year 5-6 30 minute "taster"

Hi all,

We have some year 5 and 6 students from local primary schools coming  
to experience secondary school for a day. They're scheduled to have a  
30 minute IT lesson each.

Does anyone have a suggestion for what to do with them?

I've only taught 9-12 before so I'd value any input!

Thanks in advance

Russell
