ISTE STANDARD #5: Computational Thinker
ISTE STANDARD #5: Computational Thinker
Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions. Students:
a. Formulate problem definitions suited for technology-assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions.
b. Collect data or identify relevant data sets, use digital tools to analyze them, and represent data in various ways to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making.
c. Break problems into component parts, extract key information, and develop descriptive models to understand complex systems or facilitate problem-solving.
d. Understand how automation works and use algorithmic thinking to develop a sequence of steps to create and test automated solutions.
How did I meet this standard?
How did I meet this standard?
I believe I met this standard of being a Computational Thinker because I had to analyze and solve a situation involving when my students should take breaks throughout the unit of To Kill a Mockingbird. I used a model to show the three different breaks I would implement during the unit. I also had to break down this unit into small parts, or chapters, and pick and choose which information from the book was most useful to the class before going into the final project, paper, test, etc.
Possible Use
Possible Use
I would use friction mapping to help me implement breaks throughout my lessons. When students become bored, they become disengaged. By providing breaks through fiction mapping, I can keep my students awake and engaged and ready to learn at certain points throughout the lesson. Friction mapping also lets me vary my material and gives me guidance on how to give feedback and when to give feedback.
