Wrapping up the semester! It feels very strange to know this is our last week in #FRIT7234Summer23! I’ve really enjoyed learning so much about computer science and digital citizenship. 😄

This is so great! @jryoung @pbskids @edsurge

@tbkinderlife I’m grateful to have had a great group to get me through my other class! I enjoyed getting to work with you! #FRIT7234Summer23

[Tori Bragg @tbkinderlife]

Grateful for this semester and having great people in my classes that were very helpful and understanding. Tackling my first semester was not easy but I know it is worth the ride. 😃🍎 #FRIT7234Summer23

Is that a fact?? How do we teach students to fact-check when faced with so much misinformation online and on social media?

I can’t wait to finish my lesson plan about applying computational thinking to checking out books from the library! #FRIT7234Summer23

@RaspberryPi_org It’s very interesting to see how many subject areas one can apply computational thinking to! #FRIT7234Summer23

🌍 As technology advances, so should our education systems. Discover how PISA's groundbreaking move to include computational thinking and coding in its assessments could highlight which countries are best at preparing students for a digital world. https://t.co/rcnd7ePzbe

@heyitsannierra Surely there’s room to talk about patterns! I’m interested in what you come up with- sounds like it could be a really interesting lesson!! #FRIT7234Summer23

[Darcydownie @Darcydowniegsu]

@CaitlinElk66379 I didn’t even think of patterns in poetry! What a great point. #FRIT7234Summer23

Have you heard of Einstein tiles? This KS3 tessellation activity covers the Einstein tile, a newly discovered shape that can tessellate without ever repeating a pattern. Students are encouraged to use the tile to create their own tessellation pattern.

p.s. knitting patterns = computer coding, go get your money girls

[Darcydownie @Darcydowniegsu]

The power of patterns! 💪🏻#FRIT7234Summer23

People will really say "girls suck at math lol" and then be like look at this amazing quilt my grandmother designed by doing the quadratic formula in her head

[Alaina Khan @AlainaKhan75]

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

[Darcydownie @Darcydowniegsu]

@MsRyneReads I agree! I understand them in an abstract sort of way, but it’s hard to wrap my head around the concepts in coding! #FRIT7234Summer23

[Darcydownie @Darcydowniegsu]

I found this crash course in coding at Goodwill today! It’s called How to Code by Max Wainewright. The book mostly uses Scratch programming, and even has a section on debugging! 🐞 Later sections talk about Python and HTML. I’m very excited to read through it. #FRIT7234Summer23

[Julie Bowles @JBowlesDLC]

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m super excited at the potential of AI in education.
