Today students are going to learn the terms Hardware, Software, Computer and Applications through an activity. Students will pair up. One student will be the computer and the other the application. The computer will have a blank piece of paper and pencil. The application will have a drawing that the computer can't see. They will sit back-to-back and the application will tell the computer what to draw by using words describing "shapes" and "locations". The results are always entertaining. The students learn that applications have to be very exact about their instructions for the computer to do what is expected.
