What a fantastic way to present information! The graphic novel format was highly engaging and easy to understand. I would love to learn how to illustrate my material using a graphic novel approach. Beyond the format, the narratives from different teacher candidates seamlessly highlighted the relationship between equity and technology. These…[Read more]

I came into this process with a different idea of what this project entailed. I have been challenged to understand computational thinking and how it relates to equitable outcomes for all our students. Through this process, I have found my shortcomings in understanding technology and expanded my conceptualizations of what should be considered…[Read more]

Hello, this was such an exciting module! I wanted to use a design process similar to the one used by middle schoolers in the Vaccine Game, because the artifact I envision creating will have similar interactive features. I found that the Design for Thinking for Educators Toolkit was parallel to what was used in the design of that project. I…[Read more]

Hello everyone,

Hello there, this is Maria Mavrides from the Early Childhood Program. After carefully reading the instructions, I spent some time shuffling the cards. This made the game more interesting as I discovered different aspects (some covered in the article we had to read for this module) of integrating digital literacies in the classroom. I had…[Read more]

Greetings Hunter Team!

I’m Maria Mavrides. I’m part of the  Early Childhood Program at the SOE, primarily working with clinical experiences and early literacy. I’m very excited to learn more about computational thinking and how to bring new concepts to life through my teaching and practice.

Looking forward to working with all of you!

Maria
