Advance Inclusive Computational Thinking Instruction in Elementary Education
We are thrilled to announce that Michigan State University, in partnership with the national non-profit Digital Promise, has been awarded an NSF grant for a project, “Modeling Inclusive Computational Thinking Instruction: Video Cases for Developing Teacher Knowledge.” This work aims to empower elementary educators to embed computational thinking (CT) within…
NSF project to support CS teachers in Detroit
I am excited lead a new NSF funded project in collaboration with Rick Hill from University of Detroit-Mercy to support high school CS teachers in Detroit. The project will use a sustainable multi-pronged approach to build the capacity of underserved high schools to offer CS curriculum in the metro-Detroit area.…
ACM Special Issue on Computational Thinking
Solicitation:Since Wing’s (2006) article around computational thinking, there has been a dramatic increase in the focus on computational thinking in K-12 education. This is especially true at the elementary level. In a review of the state of the field of computational thinking in K-12, Grover and Pea (2013), they described…
Keynote @WiPSCE
In a keynote talk given at the The 12th Workshop in Primary and Secondary Computing Education (WiPSCE) in Nijmegen (The Netherlands), I discussed how teachers from varied teaching background and computing experiences engage with online professional development materials. I used data from our online just-in-time professional development project (PD4CS), which is designed to support…
