Vision

Computational thinking: learning to use computational concepts to solve problems

Technological Understanding (not enough) + know the context in which tools operate + Understand the context that these interactions generate

Solving problems with others – Learning when sharing /Negotiating Knowledge understand ethics & social implications of Algorithms

There's a false dichotomy between learning to code and learning to be

Pedagogical Approaches

Constructionism – Tools for Thinking – Enquire/Problem/Project BL – beyond STEAM ◎Integrated within disciplines + ⦿ experimentation
