Computing Integrated Teacher Education (CITE) @ CUNY

Computing Integrated Teacher Education is a four-year initiative to support CUNY faculty at all ranks to integrate state standards aligned computing content and pedagogy into required education courses, field work and student teaching. Supported by public funding from the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) Computer Science for All (CS4All) program and private funding from the Robin Hood Learning + Technology Fund, the initiative will focus on building on and complementing the success of NYCDOE CS4All and pilots to integrate computational thinking at Queens College, Hunter College and Hostos Community College.

The initiative focuses on:
– Supporting institutional change in teacher education programs
– Building faculty computing pedagogical content knowledge through the lens of culturally response-sustaining education
– Supporting faculty research in equitable computing education, inclusive STEM pedagogies, and effects on their students’ instructional practices

    Background

    • The design process is at the center of our work together this summer.

    Task

    • We invite you to visually represent or model your own design process using some digital tool.
    • You can capture how you design or make anything — whether it’s related to your work as a teacher educator or not.
    • You can share your typical design process, or create a vision for a more idealized or aspirational design process.
    • We think doing this will help you learn a new digital tool, and to help you think intentionally about your design process in advance of our work together this summer.

    To complete this task:

    To visualize your design process, select and use a digital tool  – preferably one that’s new to you or that you want more practice with. You can use one of the ones we recommend below, or locate your own.

    NOTE: Some of these require you to create accounts. If you’d like, take a look at the privacy policies of these tools to see if the benefits of signing up would outweigh the risks for you.

    Stuck?

    • Consult any online tutorials the tool may have on their site
    • Try sketching something on paper first, or do some free-writing to generate ideas about how you generally go about design!
    • Make multiple “rapid prototype” iterations until something feels right.
    • If you’re stuck on something, we encourage you to troubleshoot. Google around, use your colleagues as resources, or go to our help sessions on Mondays!

    To Share:

    • Reply to this thread.
    • Add a brief reflection:
      • Share something new you learned about the tool you used.
      • Did you look at the privacy policy? Did anything stand out there?
      • Share any limitations of the tool that you used that you discovered.
    • You can share your work as a link, or an attachment to this discussion thread
    • If you’d like to embed an image in your post, you’ll have to upload it somewhere first (for example at imgur). Then use the image icon in the discussion forum to link to it.

    Here is a Module 3 response.  I used Loopy for the first time.  I did this project with my class without technology using post its and charts.  Now I have learned to use a Loopy to show a process design in order to have students create their personal developmental niche.

    I chose the Miro tool to communicate my design process in a visual flow chart model. This exercise really forced me to think about the way I approach designing a product, project, or research experiment. I jotted my ideas on paper and sketched several models to represent the process. After reviewing the choice of tools for the assignment, I thought that Miro offered some unique features to facilitate the communication of team members in a collaborative design project. I chose the shapes template which helped me convey the differences between each step of my design process through different colored, and sized shapes. The arrows conveyed the iterative steps to tweak the construct and model design process.

    I used Jamboard.  I have seen it used but I have never used it before to create something.

    I think this is a tool that is easy to use for students.  I can see myself using this in class or for assignments.

    I chose to represent the backward design process which is something I use as well as teach to my students.  Jamboard allows one to create (I chose sticky notes) or upload links and images.  I think the options would appeal to students.

    I have inserted the link below.  I also uploaded a file in case that does not work.
