A conference to encourage K-12 educators to rethink the notion of what literacy is and how it can best be taught in the digital media age.
So what is Computational Thinking? Simply put it is a set of diverse problem solving skills that are traditionally associated with computing and programming. In this session we will explore how computational thinking can be viewed through a literacy lens looking explicitly at storytelling, creativity and collaboration from an early years perspective. Come along and play, share and collaborate in this hands on session.
Workshops focus:
1: Where does the Literacy in computational thinking lie?
2: Simple steps to becoming a bot coding ninja!
