“The new language of the Authority is the language of computers”: Examining potentialities for more equitable, inclusive, and just participation in a networked society
Wed, December 1, 10:15 to 11:45am, Westin Peachtree Hotel, Augusta C (rounds)Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session
Abstract
As state and national standards for literacy learning in the US continue to evolve, computational thinking (CT), which encompasses the set of problem-solving practices and habits of mind that draw on concepts from computer science, is rapidly becoming an integral piece of P-12 curricula. This alternative format session will explore and highlight the potential of leveraging disciplinary literacy practices as a means to support richer and more nuanced understandings of CT principles, and vice versa.
