EDT 571 - Methods of Integrating Computational Thinking for Diverse Learners

Computational thinking is a problem-solving process that draws on the principles and practices central to computing education. This course provides a foundation in the big ideas in computational thinking-abstraction, data and information, algorithms, and programming and the application of these practices to domain-based context in educational environments. Participants will explore pedagogical approaches to promoting computational thinking with a focus on including those groups who are historically underrepresented in the field. Students will use a range of curriculum standards to plan, design instruction, and use assessment strategies that integrate computational thinking competencies.
