Unplugged Technology Tasks

 



Having the urge to unplug? Technology unplugged activities, promote critical thinking, encourage collaboration when appropriate and further students’ technology literacy.

K-12 Unplugged Tasks 

Over 60 activities that can be done unplugged

CS Unplugged is very much based on a constructivist approach: students are given challenges based on a few simple rules, and in the process of solving those challenges they uncover powerful ideas on their own.

Students complete a set of offline, unplugged activities introducing computer science concepts that show how technology keeps us connected.

K-5 Unplugged Tasks

With Cut and Paste Keyboard Puzzles it is deceptively tricky for students to cut the puzzle pieces and then find their places to create a completed keyboard.

Crack the Code Puzzles
Binary Code, Hexadecimal, and Morse Code Encoded Messages with silly phrases as well as technology facts. These are still Tech lessons but on paper!
