Empower tomorrows tech innovators

Our students are avid users and consumers of technology. Isnt it time that they see themselves as the next technological innovators, too?  Computational Thinking and Coding for Every Student is the beginners guide for K-12 educators who want to learn to integrate the basics of computer science into their curriculum. Readers will find 

Practical strategies for teaching computational thinking and the beginning steps to introduce coding at any grade level, across disciplines, and during out-of-school time Instruction-ready lessons and activities for every grade Specific guidance for designing a learning pathway for elementary, middle, or high school students Justification for making coding and computer science accessible to all A glossary with definitions of key computer science terms, a discussion guide with tips for making the most of the book,  and companion website with videos, activities, and other resources 

Momentum for computer science education is growing as educators and parents realize how fundamental computing has become for the jobs of the future. This book is for educators who see all of their students as creative thinkers and active contributors to tomorrows innovations.

"Kiki Prottsman and Jane Krauss have been at the forefront of the rising popularity of computer science and are experts in the issues that the field faces, such as equity and diversity. In this book, theyve condensed years of research and practitioner experience into an easy to read narrative about what computer science is, why it is important, and how to teach it to a variety of audiences. Their ideas arent just good, they are research-based and have been in practice in thousands of classroomsSo to the hundreds and thousands of teachers who are considering, learning, or actively teaching computer sciencethis book is well worth your time." Pat Yongpradit Chief Academic Officer, Code.org

Arvustused

"Change in education and schooling comes in waves, and coding, computer science, and computational thinking represent the next very big wave. This very readable book will introduce teachers, parents and students to the future." -- Dr Neil MacNeill, PhD, EdD. This book will help a lot of educators take their first steps toward bringing high quality programming experiences to their students. It offers clear examples and good strategies supported by research and best practices. -- Sylvia Martinez Wondering whether this book is for you? Check out the "dos and donts" of Chapter 5 and then take them to heart. I did! -- Dr. James Cohoon This book is so clear and so encouraging. I recommend it to my Girls Excelling in Math and Science (GEMS) leaders as we work to incorporate more computer science into our activities. The authors present a comprehensive introduction to computing in a way thats useful, readable, and fun. -- Laura Reasoner Jones
