Infusing Computational Thinking into Everyday Elementary Curriculum – Yes, You Can!
November 16, 2023 - November 17, 2023
Dr. Julie Evans is presenting “Infusing Computational Thinking into Everyday Elementary Curriculum – Yes, You Can!” at the 2023 Schools of the Future Conference in Hawaii on Friday Nov 17 from 10:15 to 12 noon in room 314.
About the session:
Different than coding or computer science, computational thinking (CT) skill development in young learners is about building capacity for problem-solving. This workshop will introduce elementary teachers to proven strategies and tips for seamlessly integrating key computational thinking components (pattern recognition, decomposition, abstraction, algorithm design) across their curriculum including in ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies. With an emphasis on understanding the connections between CT concepts and everyday curriculum, participants will use a Project Tomorrow tool to evaluate their own readiness for CT integration, work with unplugged learning activities introducing CT to young learners, and collaboratively design a new CT integrated digital learning activity in a core curricular area. Computational thinking in your classroom – yes, you can!
