Computational Thinking in Elementary and Secondary Classrooms: Models for Teacher Professional Development
Sat, April 18, 8:15 to 9:45am, Virtual RoomSession Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
Given the push to expose K-12 learners to computing ideas under the broad umbrella of computational thinking, there is a need to better understand how teachers and students come to understand and apply these concepts within their context. This session will present work from five projects focused on integrating computational thinking in K-12 classrooms representing a breadth of content areas as well as grade bands. In addition, we specifically target what it means to provide equitable access to these ideas for all learners.
