Digital Fluency Intensive 2020 Week Eight - Computational Thinking

 Computational Thinking

I always enjoy the talk about Manaiakalani and how is came about. It is always a good reminder. Today was about empowerment, a good reminder that the Chromebook is a pencil. I really like this analogy as it changes your viewpoint. Going through the statistics is always interesting to me. It is great to see where our data is going and interesting to see that children are arriving at school with the development of a 3 year old.

In low decile schools children are coming in knowing less words. They also have 1/3 turn over of students due to housing e.t.c.. This shows the importance of conversation with all of our children regardless of their developmental age. We can support our children to have 5 + interactions. 

Computational thinking - the new digital curriculum

This is an area where I am still gaining knowledge. I am beginning to under computational thinking and understand they we can still use the technology curriculum to follow a design process.

Future of Tech

Sophia the robot (very interesting, slightly scary!)

Skin Vision app - I will download this!

I enjoyed playing around with Scratch! My children will enjoy this in class.
