Figuring out when and how to use computers to iterate, calculate, search, and organize information is called computational thinking. Through programming, spreadsheets, and visual models, students can develop a better understanding of abstract concepts than with pencil and paper alone. Teachers that model computational thinking processes help students see that these skills are in the tool-set of experienced problem solvers. I will share ways to develop computational thinking skills in students (and teachers), and in the process, help students develop their skills in the required curriculum.Link to Presentation
