This week I learned about abstraction and decomposition by coding Mad Libs on scratch. It took me several tries and reminded me how important brain breaks are to my students and myself! We are all learning to solve complex problems together. #FRIT7234Summer23
I’ve seen algorithms referred to by years in regards to social media. I had no idea the world I was diving into when I started these modules last week #FRIT7234SUMMER23
This is the diagram of an algorithm for the computation of Bernoulli numbers created by Ada Lovelace in 1842. It was developed for the Analytical Engine by Charles Babbage and is considered to be the first computer program

I can not wait to let my students try out scratch in class! This will be a great way to engage them these last 2 weeks! I’m going to pass it onto my colleagues as well. #FRIT7234SUMMER23
My takeaway for the week...children should learn to speak computer language like they would a foreign language. Second semester of grad school, here I come! #FRIT7234Summer23
We need to leave behind the stigma of what we think computers are used for in classrooms and embrace what they can encourage our students to learn! #FRIT7234Summer23
