Let Students Have At It!
Part of Lesson Plan: The Itty Bitty Computer - Our Home Made Version of Raspberry Pi, a British micro mini computer.
Activity Overview / Details
Students should be allowed to follow your instructions using the instruction sheets. Trust me, they will be excited.
[ I had a group of college students from high school to retirement age - all with hardly any computer experience - do this (without showing them how to first). They followed my instruction sheet while I was there in the background to help them, and they all were able to do it easily.]
Walk around, observe, help when needed, and enjoy the process.
