Computational Thinking! by Caroline Kinne https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4 How would incorporate this standard into a lesson? Have you seen coding in your schools? What are the benefits of computational thinking and coding? What are some of the challenges? en-us 2019-04-01 18:42:23 UTC 2025-10-02 19:53:52 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png this scenic view is absolutely breathtaking...wow https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/347351189 2019-04-01 18:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/347351189 mariahrobillard2016 https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279502 I have seen coding through an interactive game called SPLATZ. It is really cool and starts out pretty simple, with directional codes instead of strings of numbers/letters

This could disengage students. I feel like you have to be creative when it comes to making it exciting somehow. ]]> 2019-04-03 20:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279625 I have seen coding being used in the makers space. The students needed to make cars run through small group instruction https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279643 2019-04-03 20:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279643 lizbean205 https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279697 I haven't seen it in schools but I did a blog post about it and played around with scratch and it was very interesting!]]> 2019-04-03 20:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279697 We led a seminar for girls who code who used lady bugs as a physical object to control rather than doing something on the computer that was helpful for younger students while they're just learning clairec2424 https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279705 2019-04-03 20:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279705 I haven't seen any coding in my placements or in schools, but I think it can be beneficial for students to learn at an early age nicolecarp98 https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279763 2019-04-03 20:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279763 https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279812 In high school the math department would spend one math class each year to teach coding. We would play different coding games through the hour of code. ]]> 2019-04-03 20:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279812 I have never seen coding done in schools, however I think that it is an important component to include within curriculum because it encourages students to explore the STEM field. I think that a challenge would be to keep teachers motivated to learn about it and then instruct it correctly. https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279821 2019-04-03 20:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279821 The Apple store offers coding classes that I've seen. Lots of younger kids did it which I thought was pretty cool. https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279859 2019-04-03 20:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279859 My school had coding club maddiebabineau https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279868 2019-04-03 20:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279868 I think if you start students off in early grades beginning coding and then move them on and on as they progress through the grades that would be beneficial to them, the challenge to this would be getting a whole school on board with it ztsongalis https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279928 2019-04-03 20:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348279928 My high school had a class that worked on coding but I was not introduced to this in elementary or middle school. https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348280061 2019-04-03 20:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ckinne101/xu0mrofqlpm4/wish/348280061
