Today was a day of coding without computers. This is the second time I have seen a presentation like this by Science World and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to see learn about the different computational strategies again. The first time I was introduced to this, I did not fully understand all of the strategies. After today, I feel like I have a really good grasp of what all the strategies are and how I can incorporate them in to my classroom. I engaged most with the physical activities. Now that we are trying to find ways to learn in a pandemic, I appreciate learning different strategies and activities that I can do outside and with social distancing. I am particularly interested in developing lessons around coding and yoga as well as coding and dance to incorporate coding into my PE classes.
My goal for the week is to learn and start thinking about ways that I can be bringing ADST into my classroom. I am particularly interested in the cross curricular ways I can incorporate ADST into the classroom learning. Today opened my eyes to different and relatively simple ways I can do this. I am also very grateful for the resources I have come away with today.
