Mod 8: Coding & Computational Thinking

Explore

In this module, you will roll up your sleeves and create with code! You will also explore the elements of computational thinking to build your understanding of how this framework can be used as a thinking strategy for just about any subject matter. You will also complete the Affordances and Constraints Reflection Journal and curate a coding tool for our virtual toolbox. Explore each of the links and the content within!
