What are the skill components for computational thinking?
Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstraction, Algorithm Design and Evaluation.
What are alternative ways to modeling a problem?
Drawing out solutions on paper. Discussing alternative solutions as teams. Relating challenges to more familiar circumstances.
What is the definition of Computational Thinking?
A problem solving process; typically broken down into decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design.
What are probing questions?
These questions should encourage students to reflect on their learning, they require lots of details.
What is the definition of Coding?
A language that a computer can use to complete a task or a set of instructions
How are codable robots useful?
Codable robots can extend the coding and CT experience of young students. Robots provide lots of opportunities to integrate mathematical and engineering concept
What are the attitude components for computational thinking?
Confident, Communicative and Flexible
Why is integrating computational thinking into education so important?
Can help students to make important cross- curricular connections, improve their academic performance.
What 2 experiences are effective for early childood/ elementary education while learning CT?
Unplugged activities, and codable robots.
What is the definition of Unplugged?
A coding lesson that does not require a computer.
What are the approach components for computational thinking?
Tinkering Creating Debugging Persevering and Collaborating
What are examples of probing questions?
"What if you were to..." "How would you..." "Have you considered..."
