Week 4

This week we will begin diving into the four components of computational thinking, which, as the authors explain, are critical for CS but also highly relevant for both students and adults outside of CS.

Read: Chapters 6: Activities that Foster Computational Thinking, Chapter 7: Decomposition, Chapter 8: Pattern Recognition (With Pattern Matching)

Reflect: Post your response to the prompt below by Monday morning.
This week we learned about decomposition and pattern recognition in detail. Feel free to select either decomposition or pattern recognition or think about them holistically. How are you already using this thinking strategy in your work, or how could you integrate it in your work context (in an online or unplugged format).

Interact: On Monday, read your colleagues' reflections and respond to at least one other post by sharing a comment, insight, or interesting possibility by next Thursday.
