Basic 9 Computing Term 1 Week 7 Lesson Plan

Show a brief video or presentation that highlights a community problem solved with technology (e.g., a mobile app addressing waste collection). Ask learners: "What problem was addressed in the video? How did technology help solve it?" Share performance indicators and introduce the lesson.

Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Desktop computer; Mobile phone; Printed photographs of a Ghanaian clinic and market. Learners inspect the hardware and printed examples, then operate or compare them during the computing task below. Revise with learners to brainstorm and list problems they observe in their community. Each group presents their list to the class, and common problems are noted. Guide learners to propose solutions to the problems identified. Using the list of common problems, groups will now brainstorm and propose technological solutions to these problems. For example, if one problem is "lack of timely public transportation," a solution could be "a real-time bus tracking app." Groups should consider the feasibility of their solutions, potential challenges, and the impact on the community. Each group will then present their tech-based solutions to the class. Assessment 1. Name one problem in the community you discussed today. 2. How can technology be a powerful tool in solving community challenges? 3. Provide an example of a technological solution to a community problem you've learned about today. 4. Why is it important to ensure that technological solutions are accessible to everyone in the In groups, learners brainstorm and list down problems they observe in their community.

Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from learners what they have learnt during the lesson.

Show a short video or a news clip of a problem a community faced and the technological solution they implemented. Ask learners to discuss how technology was useful in addressing that problem.

Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Desktop computer; Mobile phone; Printed photographs of a Ghanaian clinic and market. Learners inspect the hardware and printed examples, then operate or compare them during the computing task below. Each group presents their list to the class. Common problems are highlighted and noted down. using the common problems list, each group now brainstorms potential tech-based solutions. Guide the learners to think about feasibility, potential challenges, and the potential impact of their proposed solutions. Once solutions are brainstormed, each group chooses one solution to focus on. They'll design or outline the solution in more detail. This can include drawing a prototype, outlining how it works, or explaining the benefits. Each group presents their designed technological solution, explaining the problem it addresses, how it works, its feasibility, potential challenges, and its potential impact on the community. Assessment 1. What is one problem your group identified in the community? 2. describe the technological solution your group designed. 3. What is one potential challenge your solution might face? 4. How will your solution have a positive impact on the community?

Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.
