Using a computational thinking model to complete a literacy recount

This video demonstrates the computational thinking involved in planning and then undertaking the task of recounting a day that could use a platform such as Scratch or Scratch Jnr.

The video highlights the preplanning that is required before moving on to the be handy for teachers taking students from the narrative/literacy to the computational thinking by using a simple storyboard approach. The video below demonstrates this planning in practice.

Using a design thinking model to complete a literacy recount

This video demonstrates the design thinking and computational thinking involved in planning and then undertaking the task of recounting a day using a coding platform. It applies the theory of the last video using real life examples suitable for Scratch Jnr.

The template would be handy for teachers taking students from the narrative/literacy to the computational thinking by using a simple storyboard approach.

Tools to support Computational Thinking with and without technology

This video demonstrates the resources and tools available from the DTiF team and CSIRO Digital Careers to support the teaching of Computational Thinking with and without technology.
