- Flipped preparation (required): View the TED Talk by Linda Liukas 'The poetry of programming'
- In class: Pair programming - Use Scratch to create and evolve shapes
- In class: Pair programming - understand the Scratch drawing context
- In class: Apply computational thinking to real world problem solving
- Reflect after (optional): Reflect how and why would you use Computational Thinking in your classroom?
Really enjoyed Linda Liuikas's talk - took heaps of notes. I think because I teach 5 and 6 year olds I could relate on some level to what she was talking about with Ruby's book. It resonated with me how she linked practicing pattern recognition with conjugating French irregular verbs, following a sequence of symbolic commands with loops inside of them with knitting, I had to take photos while I was watching this video as I didn't want to forget her message.
OMG - I love SCRATCH! I love SCRATCH even more after pair programming with Sam. We taught ourselves so much
