Strand: Inspiring every digital learner
Presentation Level: Integrate teaching and learning
Presentation Strands: Nurturing independent and collaborative problem solvers
The focus of this presentation will be on the use of the Computational Thinking (CT) approach to expand student’s problem solving ability and more importantly how they could create possible solutions using Minecraft. Participants will better comprehend how the PRADA strategies could be used to further enhance student’s thinking approaches to a problem. A preliminary pilot study was done and results have shown that students that have gone through the CT initiative have become more aware of their surroundings and began to be more involved knowing that they could potentially solve the problem. This will hopefully translate to students being more motivated in the classroom and be better engaged and not just a passive learner. Through a sharing and hands-on activity, participants will get a better idea how they could incorporate CT into their lessons.
