So, this module I actually had a good time with.  I did each of the activities.  I tried to build an algorithm for making oatmeal.   I know while doing this which is something I do so frequently (making oatmeal, that is) I really did engage some computational thinking skills in order to insure that my algorithm would actually produce what I wan…[Read more]

So, after reading through the teacher perspectives, I think my thoughts largely concern the ethics involved in the using, sharing and/or communicating in the digital world.  Students, as well as, the teachers who serve them need to clearly understand the great ethical responsibility that comes with using and creating digital content.  I don’t t…[Read more]
