First video of the primary school journey towards exploring the computer and its codes.

Here is the first meeting type,

done by creating a simple circle

and asking the children many questions

aimed at creating a connection between
things they know

about concrete life and these concepts,

memory, Google, computer, internet,

which have substantially flattened
everything

... kind of a Russian salad.

At one point we brought out
an old computer

which they were free to explore.

They got excited, we put in on a table

and the objects got taken apart
and commented,

always in the same questioning approach.

Spontaneous groups appeared,

aiming at investigating some aspects
in depth.

After about an hour,
the children were invited

to sit in a circle,

which they speedily did,
to my amazement

because they were really enthusiastic
about what they were doing

and we suggested making a survey.

They all volunteered to go
to the blackboard.

Fortunately, the teachers made
the selection

because I wouldn't have known
how to do that.

The survey was about their habits,
video games

the computer they use, tablets, etc.

In the following clip, we see
the second meeting type

where the children are offered
the four computer kits

and the four video cameras.
