History of Computers:

KA/KB + Grades 1 & 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=RmbFJq2jADY

How do you think a computer knows what to do?

How can the computer find Dragon Drop or the Painting app for us?

What is a programmer? >> Someone who writes directions to tell the computer what to do.

As you watch the video think about what programming a computer means

Watch video

Do computers speak a language?

From video 5:50:

Computers speak computer languages such as Python, Java, C

Computer programmers learn these languages so they can talk to the computer

We will learn in the coming weeks how to write directions (algorithms- set of rules for computer to follow) for computers.
