based on the information given in the lab.
This process was fun and puzzling. I think that when teaching this it would
be cool to do so in puzzles. Giving students these bytes and asking them to,
like we did, just make predictions and then break them down together.
There are times with binary in this lab that were a struggle, but I really
enjoyed working through them and meeting with Stacy to discuss the questions and
challenges!
sets. Overall, the problems make sense. However, I would
love to now more about the sequence of problem solving through these. I
found myself struggling a lot to find a logical way to work through them.
I started by writing down the a and b bytes and just somewhat randomly,
trying different solutions. Knowing CS, there has to be a more
efficent way of breaking down these sequences and knowing how they are
deciphered.
From a teaching standpoint, these seem like fun riddles almost. I think
that when teaching the idea of bits, bytes, and booleans, it would be a really
fun opportunity to race and problem solve as a team.
