  2. Identify practical applications of robotics, VR, and AR.
  3. Describe the effects of these technologies on society.

2. Previous Knowledge

Students have previously studied Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and applications of emerging technologies in everyday life.

3. Instructional Materials

  • Computer system or laptop.
  • Pictures or videos of industrial and educational robots.
  • VR headset, where available.
  • Smartphone or tablet capable of demonstrating AR, where available.
  • Whiteboard and markers.
  • Digital Technologies lesson note.

4. Teaching Methods

Explanation, discussion, demonstration, questioning, and guided classroom activity.

5. Lesson Presentation

Time Teacher's Activities Students' Activities
5 minutes Reviews the previous lesson on emerging technologies and introduces robotics, VR, and AR using familiar examples. Recall AI and IoT and identify familiar technologies mentioned by the teacher.
15 minutes Defines robotics and explains the main components of a robot, including sensors, controllers, motors, power supply, and software. Discusses practical applications and benefits. Define robotics, identify robot components, and mention applications in agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, and education.
15 minutes Explains VR and its equipment. Discusses applications in education, healthcare, gaming, architecture, tourism, and workplace training. Explain VR, identify common equipment, and describe its practical applications.
15 minutes Defines AR and demonstrates or describes how digital content can be added to a real-world view using a compatible smartphone or tablet. Explain AR and give examples from education, shopping, navigation, maintenance, and entertainment.
15 minutes Guides students to compare robotics, VR, and AR. Discusses their positive and negative effects on society, including productivity, education, employment, cost, privacy, and safety. Compare the three technologies and discuss their benefits, challenges, and effects on society.
10 minutes Evaluates students orally, corrects misunderstandings, summarises the lesson, and gives an assignment. Answer evaluation questions, summarise key points, and record the assignment.
Total: 75 minutes The activities above total 75 minutes. Use the remaining 5 minutes for lesson closure and checking students' written notes.

Total Duration: 80 Minutes
