Many People Learn By Sight, Programming Has Very Few Visual Aids
Students will browse around the internet in groups during this lab. Part of the group will be looking for pictures, the other part will be looking at the Java API for functions that can be represented by the pictures the other members have found.
Participants and props
Students will need to be in at least groups of two and the groups should preferably be even numbers to evenly distribute the work load.
The script
There are multiple ways to do this, you can either give the students a part of the API to find a visual representation, you can give them a visual representation then ask them to find the API content that fits, or they could do both at the same time to maximize creativity.
Sample Exercises
Exercise 1
In this sample we will be displaying a method or class from the Java API and the students can offer a picture that can be associated with it. Students will then also have to explain how.
