The articles specifically talk about teaching computational thinking using agent-based computer programs should require minimal to no training in teacher. This might very well be true as the programs are ultimately designed for use by children, but I'm not sure how it can be easily integrated into the classroom.Brian Hanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132960662541488042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257488513052953562.post-29471159043801813822015-11-10T22:12:23.291-08:002015-11-10T22:12:23.291-08:00I had a very similar "computer science" ...I had a very similar "computer science" experience in elementary school. What's worse, in high school, I took another class that was supposed to be on CS, but all we learned was how to use Word and Excel, kind of, while spending most of our time playing online flash games. However, I have gotten some programming experience since then (not enough to call myself an expert, or even good, but more than nothing), and I can say that it would be very useful in our classrooms, especially in showing that there are many different ways to the answer we want.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175522519167669955noreply@blogger.com
