EXPLORING COMPUTATIONAL THINKING (ECT) is a curated collection of lesson plans, videos, and other resources on computational thinking (CT). This site was created to provide a better understanding of CT for educators and administrators, and to support those who want to integrate CT into their own classroom content, teaching practice, and learning. From July 15- September 30, 2015
ECT includes:
- 150+ materials, including lessons plans, demonstrations, and programs, aligned to international education standards
- Videos demonstrating how Google uses CT and the 7 Big Ideas from the Computer Science Principles course
Computational thinking (CT) is a problem solving process that includes a number of characteristics, such as logically ordering and analyzing data and creating solutions using a series of ordered steps (or algorithms), and dispositions, such as the ability to confidently deal with complexity and open-ended problems.
CT is essential to the development of computer applications, but it can also be used to support problem solving across all disciplines, including math, science, and the humanities. Students who learn CT across the curriculum can begin to see a relationship between subjects as well as between school and life outside of the classroom.
