DFI Session 8 - Computational Thinking - 11/09/2020

 Computional Thinking.

Using devices is not Empowering - Having Agency over your learning is using devices to create something after having learnt how to use the App.

Coding is a very important thing for our students to be using and Creating with - as these skills will be ones they need to have in the future and in the now.

I enjoyed the Kia Takatu programme - the lessons on this site are clear and interesting - not too long. I will continue to work through these lessons.

Coding practice was fun to play around with - I will work with my students next week on scratch to see where their skill levels are at.

I need to look at the videos on the Google Exam to gain insights and figure  out what  that entails for next weeks session. I have booked into an 8:30 pm session as this was the earliest. I need to figure out how to reschedule this to be on demand - When is the latest I am allowed to do this?  It seems like the end is nigh for DFI  - I have learnt plenty - but also realise there is lots I missed and need to keep working at.

Looking forward to the EXAM !!!
