| + | ===== Introduction to Computational Thinking for Teachers ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Below are **two presentations** introducing Computational Thinking in the classroom. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Overview of Computational Thinking {{:what-is-ct_edps235.pdf|}} | ||
| + | * Computational Thinking in K-12 {{:ct-in-k12_edps235.pdf|}} | ||

| - | K-12 Education | + | 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. |
