Educators continually improve their practice by developing an understanding of computational thinking and its application as a cross-curricular skill. Educators develop a working knowledge of core components of computational thinking: such as decomposition; gathering and analyzing data; abstraction; algorithm design; and how computing impacts people and society. Educators:
1a: Set professional learning goals to explore and apply teaching strategies for integrating CT practices into learning activities in ways that enhance student learning of both the academic discipline and CS concepts.
1b: Learn to recognize where and how computation can be used to enrich data or content to solve discipline-specific problems and be able to connect these opportunities to foundational CT practices and CS concepts.
1c: Leverage CT and CS experts, resources, and professional learning networks to continuously improve practice integrating CT across content areas.
1d: Develop resilience and perseverance when approaching CS and CT learning experiences, build comfort with ambiguity and open-ended problems, and see failure as an opportunity to learn and innovate.
1e: Recognize how computing and society interact to create opportunities, inequities, responsibilities, and threats for individuals and organizations.

1a. This coding activity is a great way of incorporating technology into the classroom. This game has different activities, levels, and in-depth instruction on how students can comprehend the curriculum being taught while being engaged and willing to learn.
1d. Learning coding for this looping game comes with failures and trials. Trying to correctly place the different elements will come with its challenges. However, it helps students to develop resilience and perseverance in continuing to master the lesson.

1c. This form of technology assessment coincides with not just coding but fine motor skills in building their object (in this case, the snail). Coding using this program is a great resource for students to be actively engaged in their learning. By using this tool, it would lead into students using the CT and CS resources.
