Read it, Code it, Love it: Integrating Computer Science and Literacy
Monday October 21, 2024 8:30am - 9:20am CDT
309
Discover ways to integrate computer science and literacy into your early elementary classroom. This hands-on session will share five sets of paired activities (with and without literacy integration) that have been developed and tested with K-2nd grade students. The activities focus on sequencing as a foundation for algorithm development and include both unplugged and plugged approaches.

Computational Thinking in Uganda
Monday October 21, 2024 2:40pm - 3:30pm CDT
309
What does computer science and computational thinking look like in different settings? Oftentimes we worry about different educational settings, different student needs, cultural relevancy, and more. This summer I had the chance to test this out on a larger scale through a pilot partnership to bring computational thinking to educators and students in Uganda. Join me to hear what we learned, and how this can inform what we do in the US.
