Computational Thinking Across the Curriculum - Quality Understanding and Engagement in Teaching and Learning through Technology.

Computational Thinking Across the Curriculum

Registration has Ended!

Learn about exemplary lessons created and field-tested by classroom teachers. These lessons incorporate computational thinking (CT) in content area lessons. Teachers will be engaged in hands-on activities to explore effective use of technology and CT to increase student problem solving skills and knowledge. These lessons bring exciting experiences in language arts, data investigation, simulations, and math.

 

Example Lesson Topics include Computational Thinking in Maker Space, Using Computational Thinking through Data Investigations, Learning Computational Thinking through Simulations and Digital Models, Abstraction and Problem Decomposition applied to Language Arts.

 

Next Offering Begins: Monday, October 18, 2021

Last Day to Register: October 12th 

  • Please contact me at mhigley@ncce.org if you are interested in any of the following:
    • Bulk discounts for large school districts available.
    • Discounts for small and impoverished schools/districts available.
    • University Credit available for an additional fee.
    • Clock Hours available for an additional fee.

This course shell is meant to serve as a way to register for the course, review agenda information, and after the training where you can receive a course training certificate of completion.  *Please note, all synchronous trainings must have between 20-35 participants to make.  In the event a training does not meet participant requirements you will be automatically enrolled into the next available session.

Here is the course outline:

Computational Thinking Across the Curriculum

We are excited that you are joining the NCCE Team for this 6-Part Series.

Part 1 Becoming a Successful Virtual Learner

In this part, you will learn the skills needed to be a successful virtual learner. Please complete this part prior to the Part 2 virtual meeting.

Part 2: Getting Started w/Computational Thinking

This part will look at why Computational Thinking is important as well as a look at the ISTE Computational thinker standard.

Part 3: Deep Dive into Computational Thinking

Part 3 provides a dive into each of the four computational thinking terms (Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstraction, and Algorithms).

Part 4: Curriculum Application

Take a deep dive into Computational Thinking and how it can be integrated into your content area in Part 4.

Part 5: Lesson Planning

Now it's time to prepare lesson plans with Computational Thinking in mind. During this part, you will create a lesson plan for your content area.

Part 6: Share and Reflect

Share your new computational thinking knowledge by creating a FlipGrid summary of your learning.
