Rubber Duck Debugging Lesson

Rubber Duck Debugging Lesson

(12)
How can a rubber duck help you be a better programmer? How can they possibly have a place in our classrooms? What is rubber duck debugging? When I first heard about this strange phenomenon, I was a little sceptical. Is this just another gimmick? Is there a surplus of rubber ducks that need repurposing? No, apparently this is a recognised programming technique that really works. What do you do? You need enough rubber ducks so that each pupil has their own duck. Amazon sell bags of rubber ducks for a reasonable price. Run through the presentation with them, give them the 3 Python programs to practice with and watch as your programming classes learn how to solve many of their programming problems without having to rely on you! If you are having trouble finding non-squeaky ducks you can either print out an image of the duck to be blue-tacked to the corner of their screen for everyone, or try the squeaky ducks but tell them, if there is an excessive amount of squeaking they will have their duck taken away and given a "flat duck"instead.

Your students pick a card and create the programming challenge described on the front of the flash card. Once they have created their Scratch program, students test their completed program and turn over to see the suggested Scratch code answer on the reverse of the card. If they get stuck, they can always turn the card over to see the suggested solution they can copy. When they have their program working correctly, students swap their flash card for another and repeat the process. Students can work individually or in pairs for this activity and love the competitive nature of using these flash cards as they see how many they can complete. These flash cards are great when used as: a starter, a plenary, for early-finishers or as an easy, highly engaging in-class activity. . HOW DO I PREPARE THE CARDS? These flash cards are so easy to prepare. Simply print, glue the back and fold in half along the vertical guideline, before cutting to size. If you want to reuse them time and time again, it may be worth laminating your flash cards. Each set has 20 individual programming challenges so you may need to prepare more than one set for larger classes.

At the start of every term I get many emails and phone calls from teachers who have recently taken over as the head of Computer Science and are unsure where to start. Some of them are walking into a well-ordered department where everything is laid out and ready-to-go, others are not so lucky. Often, they are the only person in that department and so don’t have anywhere to turn to ask for help. And then the headteacher casually strolls into your room when you have barely been for a day and asks you for your ICT policy document by the end of the week. Gulp! Not to worry, I have this one ready to go and better still it is completely free! With a brief read through, only some minor tweaking to make it fit your school and copying them into your schools template it should satisfy your headteacher and give you a bit of valuable breathing space while you try to get your head around the one hundred and one other things you need to do.
