[Teaching Foundations of AI Programming] PL Reflection - Computational Thinking

Reflecting on teaching computational thinking:

:one:How did the unplugged maze activity help reinforce computational thinking skills before introducing coding?

:two: How can you integrate computational thinking into other subjects or problem-solving activities in your classroom?

:three: What challenges might students face with computational thinking, and how can unplugged activities support their understanding?

These questions are just starting points for reflection and discussion—there’s no need to answer all of them. Focus on the ones that resonate most with your teaching experience and goals.

Using the unplugged activity with the maze let me focus on what I needed the computer to do, not how I was going to make it do that.
I am already using this type of thinking in cooking and sewing activities daily.
Students may feel like the problem is too large when they don’t use the computational thinking.
