-====== Computational Thinking Modules ====== 
  
-<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. 
- 
-See our {{:​ctmods_sigcse11.pdf|SIGCSE 2011 paper}} for more details!

-===== 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 presentation** 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|}} 
- 
-Some ideas presented in these lectures were based on: 
- 
-  * J.M. Wing, “Computational Thinking,​” CACM viewpoint, vol. 49 no. 3, March 2006, pp. 33-35. 
-  * J.M. Wing, “Computational Thinking and Thinking About Computing,​” Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, vol. 366, July 2008, pp. 3717-3725. 
-  * P. Phillips, “Computational Thinking: A Problem-Solving Tool for Every Classroom,​” in NECC 2007. 
-  * Ormrod J. (2011). Educational Psychology: Developing Learners (7th Edition). New York, NY: Pearson. 
- 
-===== 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.
