This is an activity designed to have students develop soft skills, specifically communication in a computer science setting using python and the repl IDE.  It can be given as a full document, broken up into a jigsaw activity and altered to accomodate different computer languages and IDEs.  The goal is that students develop needed skills for a career that we don't generally practice in class but are still highly valued by future jobs, even outside of IT.  This was created for english readers but can be altered for any language.

These lesson ideas can be used to teach the key Digital Technology concepts.

Students conduct an experiment to study the acceleration of a mobile Android device. During the experiment, they run an application created with MIT's App Inventor that monitors linear acceleration in one-dimension. Students use an acceleration vs. time equation to construct an approximate velocity vs. time graph. Students will understand the relationship between the object's mass and acceleration and how that relates to the force applied to the object, which is Newton's second law of motion.

" This class covers the history of 20th century art and design from the perspective of the technologist. Methods for visual analysis, oral critique, and digital expression are introduced. Class projects this term use the OLPC XO (One Laptop Per Child) laptop, Csound and Python software."
