-===== EDPS 235: Learning ​and Motivation =====+<WRAP tip> 
 +When given relevant information about computational thinking, education students’ attitudes toward computer science 
 +becomes more favorable ​and they will be more likely to integrate computing principles in their future teaching.
  
-We embedded a one-week Computational Thinking Module within the introductory course EDPS 235Learning and Motivation. This course introduces pre-service K-12 teachers to basic concepts of classroom management, learning, motivation, and assessment. ​ The course builds understanding of concepts and novice-level skills in applying those concepts to teaching and learning situations in K-12 schools.+See our {{:ctmods_sigcse11.pdf|SIGCSE 2011 paper}} for more details!

-  * Second Lecture ​{{:compthink2_edps235.pdf|}} ​+ 
 +[[http://​www.amanyadav.org | Dr. Aman Yadav]] embedded a **Computational Thinking Module** within the introductory course for preservice teachers (Learning and Motivation). This course introduces pre-service K-12 teachers to basic concepts of classroom management, learning, motivation, and assessment. ​ The course builds understanding of concepts and novice-level skills in applying those concepts to teaching and learning situations in K-12 schools.

 +===== WebQuest on Computational Thinking =====
 +
 +We also embedded a one-week online module, centered around the use of a **WebQuest on Computational Thinking**, in EDCI 270: Introduction to Education Technology and Computing. This course is for all teacher education majors. It introduces pre-service teachers to the fundamentals of educational technology, including the integration of instructional design, media, computers and related technologies within the classroom setting.
