Computational Thinking for All Subjects
To be successful in school and beyond, students need problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By intentionally teaching students computational thinking (CT), they will learn how to solve real-world problems effectively and efficiently as part of any content area. Join us to learn what computational thinking is and how it can be used in the classroom. In this session, you will learn:
• the definition and four main ideas of computational thinking
• the importance of learning CT skills among students
• the connections between existing lessons and CT
• the integration of explicit and culturally relevant CT strategies into lessons to build student persistence and confidence, increase their ability to solve complex problems, and support their social and emotional learning
Integrating Computer Science in Every Class
To be successful in school and beyond, students need problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By intentionally teaching students computational thinking (CT), they will learn how to solve real-world problems effectively and efficiently as part of any content area. The definition and four main ideas of computational thinking.
The importance of learning CT skills among students. The connections between existing lessons and CT. The integration of explicit and culturally relevant CT strategies into lessons to build student persistence and confidence, increase their ability to solve complex problems, and support their social and emotional learning
Artificial Intelligence in Your Classroom
In this class, you will learn why it's important to teach students about Artificial Intelligence (AI) that they use every day and the ethics associated with AI. You will also learn how to implement AI projects in any class or grade level.
Physical Computing in the Classroom: Micro.bits + Math
Promote number sense, pattern recognition, and algebra understanding by coding with Micro.bits in your Math class! You will:
- Be introduced to Micro.bits - tiny physical computers for hands-on student learning
- Try coding with starter projects
- Identify ways to incorporate Micro.bits into your classroom instruction
Using Scratch in Your Classroom
Get your students to create content instead of consuming content! All educators can use Scratch to provide students:
- engaging
- culturally responsive and relevant
- interactive
learning opportunities. Learn how you and your students can use Scratch coding in any content area and at any grade level!
