Educators facilitate learning by integrating computational thinking practices into the classroom. Since computational thinking is a foundational skill, educators develop every student’s ability to recognize opportunities to apply computational thinking in their environment.
5a: Evaluate and use CS and CT curricula, resources, and tools that account for learner variability to meet the needs of all students.
5b: Empower students to select personally meaningful computational projects.
5c: Use a variety of instructional approaches to help students frame problems in ways that can be represented as computational steps or algorithms to be performed by a computer.
5d: Establish criteria for evaluating CT practices and content learning that use a variety of formative and alternative assessments to enable students to demonstrate their understanding of age-appropriate CS and CT vocabulary, practices and concepts.
Lego WeDo 2.0 - Metro E
5.a: Evaluate and use CS and CT curricula, resources, and tools that account for learner variability to meet the needs of all students. This activity aligns with this standard because in the activity there were written and picture instructions to meet every students learning abilities. This activity challenged students to use their CT skills when the robot wasn't moving the way the students wanted it too.
5.d: Establish criteria for evaluating CT practices and content learning that use a variety of formative and alternative assessments to enable students to demonstrate their understanding of age-appropriate CS and CT vocabulary, practices and concepts. This activity aligns with this standard because each students got to pick which code we created for that round. This activity allowed for CT vocabulary to be talked about in conversation (letting the students know that this is a series of ordered steps).

Digital MakerSpace
5c: Use a variety of instructional approaches to help students frame problems in ways that can be represented as computational steps or algorithms to be performed by a computer. This activity aligns with this standard because the Nearpod allows for the students to learn how to use the Nearpod and the different steps (algorithms) that the students have to take to get to the end of the lesson. The lesson contains drawing, questions, a video, and a 360 virtual reality activity.
Drone Lesson Plan - Metro E
5b: Empower students to select personally meaningful computational projects. This activity aligns with this standard because the students had to problem solve and also transfer the right codes to the phone so the drone can simulate a path. All of the things the students are doing within this activity, is helping them create stronger CT skills through creating a simulation.
