Computational Thinking is a way to solve-problems by working through the problem in smaller chunks.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important for students to learn computational thinking because it helps them to be able to think deeper and more creatively about problems they may encounter or what they are learning.

Simon Says -- the students can create sequences of actions to be done, but only if Simon says. Discuss how breaking down the commands into specific actions for mental processing is important for success (the sequence of commands is like a code or program that needs to be broken down)

# data[].attributes.body
It is important for students to learn because it helps them advance their skills in technology which will be useful for school, life, and the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Using technology as a tool to help with learning, thinking, and teaching

# data[].attributes.body
A classroom activity that would engage students in computational thinking is providing groups of students with written scenarios that each pose a different problem. Their task is to choose one of three digital tools/pieces of technology offered to them and create a solution with that tool. For example they could have the option of a tablet, a robot, or a camera, and from there, the groups of students must work together to create a solution AND explain it in either writing or video.

# data[].attributes.body
Examples are all the games and tools we are playing with now such as the tablets, robots, coding. (Dash N dot, Bee-Bot, Dance Party, Scratch...)

I think something that engages students in computational thinking that is very simple is the assignment where you give students a piece of paper that has a certain mark on it. The mark can imply a certain shape like if it were a circle you might assume it would be a sun, but the key is students cannot use that shape to draw whatever the obvious answer is, they must be creative and find a way to incorporate this mark into their own, unique picture.

Us! The teachers!

# data[].attributes.body
it is a necessary skill for their careers and the ability to integrate it into their lives will open up more opportunities since it is so necessary.

# data[].attributes.body
Computational thinking is an important skill for students to learn because it can make learning easier and help them problem solve

# data[].attributes.body
A research project could engage students in Computational Thinking. Analyzing data, creating presentations, coming up with a conclusion all require problem solving skills and thinking deeper.

Computational Thinking is the thought process that is used to solve problems. This is shown in many different steps.

# data[].attributes.body
It is our responsibility as teachers to teach Computational Thinking to our students so that they have the necessary skills to be independent in their work when it comes to facing problems head-on.

# data[].attributes.body
Encourages problem solving in different ways and adapting to your own way to better problem solve rather then give up

# data[].attributes.body
Computational thinking provides students with problem solving skills, which promotes the ability to analyze date, find solutions, and more.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is everyones job to teach students computational thinking. Obviously teachers have an important role in facilitating this but also different adults at home, coaches, older siblings, etc can help students learn these skills as well.

It allows students to learn how to collaborate and think through issues. It also gives students the ability to get things wrong and try again.

Students can practice writing using the word count tool on their computer, go over the phases of the moon and then use a computer program to make the stages of the moon move.

Teachers and future teachers! We all have a responsibility to teach the next generation new ways of thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
An example could be in a history classroom setting where students are making a timeline and gathering data of key historical events.

# data[].attributes.body
It is partly the teachers' responsibility to teach students computational thinking, but I also believe the responsibility lies on parents and other role models in children's lives. We must give children every opportunity possible to practice computational thinking and the problem-solving skills that come with it.

# data[].attributes.body
The teachers responsibility!!!!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Anyone. Yes it can be teachers, but I think anyone from any profession can introduce students to a wide range of experiences and how these different professions go about Computational Thinking. I think it is the teacher's responsibility to introduce the students to this information.

# data[].attributes.body
It is our jobs as teachers to help students learn about the different interests that they might have. It is important that we expose students to computational thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's digital age, it's essential for students to be digitally literate and proficient in using technology. Computational thinking helps students develop a deeper understanding of how computers and algorithms work.

# data[].attributes.body
Activities that allow for students to think in a complex way and practice coding.

# data[].attributes.body
It is our responsibility as future educators to teach this to our students.

teachers should facilitate students learning of computational thinking, and from there students can learn from their peers (and hopefully, the larger community!)

# data[].attributes.body
This is the real code for it!

Dance Party AI:

I was able to make animals dance using code

Each lesson added a new code that added to the effects of the dance or background

There were step by step instructions

I earned my Certificate of Completion!

# data[].attributes.body
I used the bee bot, it allowed you to click the arrows in the order you wanted to move it to "code" the way it moves. Defiantly perfect for pre K!

# data[].attributes.body
I used the ozobot to create color paths for it to follow. I can see this being a fun stem activity for younger kids.

# data[].attributes.body
we used the ozobot, which read color sequences to perform different moves. it was super cool to watch it work and i anticipate that students would have a lot of fun playing with the sequences.

beebot is fun and simple meanwhile dash is a bit more advanced.

# data[].attributes.body
The ozobot uses color codes that are written on the paper to see what direction or movement it should do.

# data[].attributes.body
I played with Dash and Dot and made the robot follow different commands in a sequence.

# data[].attributes.body
I played with Dash, who you can make do different tasks. Like moving forward or backward. You can make him say different sounds as well and dance.

# data[].attributes.body
Dash&Dot:

Turned on the Robot

Picked out a challenge card (make the robot turn different colors and then have him do a dance)

Completed the challenge!

I can see this being fun for younger kids. They are work together or independently.

# data[].attributes.body
We played with the Dash and Dot robot and had fun experimenting with the different movements and sounds we could have him do. I can see this being a really engaging activity for students that also allows students to be creative and get thinking!

# data[].attributes.body
The ozobot follows color codes that are written on paper to direct it's path

# data[].attributes.body
I used the ozobot and I think this robot is very good for kindergarten and preschool classrooms. I think that these are very good for exploring colors and introducing codes in an appropriate and very interactive way. I definitely would love to use something like this in my future classroom.
