This video is part of the free CSER F-6 Digital Technologies MOOC for primary school teachers. For more information please visit csermoocs.adelaide.edu.auDigital Technologies and Computational Thinking goes beyond how to use technology to understanding how to create technology. This is what makes it different from Digital Literacy and the ICT capability.

Collecting and organising Data
Collecting and organising Data
Data as part of Computational Thinking:
How can we manage lots of Data?
When data gets too large we use databases. Computers can efficiently store, organise and analyse data. Spreadsheets (on paper of computer) are a good way to store data.This video has lots of good examples of different ways we can represent data:
Software applications are designed to process data, known as Data Processing.
Data is INPUT and information is OUTPUT.
Data is INPUT and information is OUTPUT.
What is pattern recognition and how do we use it in our everyday lives?:
Pattern recognition involves finding patterns and similarities among smaller problems to help us solve more complex problems. Pattern identification includes: 1. Distinguish attributes (colour, size, length, etc) 2. Extract features 3. Compare patterns for a match/mismatch.
This video provides examples of activities that develop students' skills in pattern recognition, building on those already familiar to the primary classroom:
