This professional development series was designed for elementary teachers to learn more about the various aspects of computer science and computational thinking. Participants had the opportunity to learn about algorithms, variables, loops and conditionals through unplugged and plugged in activities as well as think about what computer science is (and what it is not), explore who is a computer science person, and develop a preliminary understanding of the problem solving process and debugging in computer science.
Start with your objective.
What do you want your students to understand about CS?
Consider your instructional time.
When will you introduce CS to your students? Once a week? During a particular unit? During CS Ed Week?
Identify resources that will help you and your students meet your goals.
