Digital Technology Curriculum
Rationale:
To unpack the Digital Technology Curriculum by first focusing on understanding the Computational Thinking strand.
Evidence:
What does this mean for my practice:
Decomposition – breaking down the problem into smaller, more manageable parts
Abstraction – focusing on the important information only, ignoring irrelevant details
Algorithms – developing a step-by-step solution to the problem
Logic/pattern recognition - looking for similarities among and within problems
I am going to begin by looking for this type of thinking in the different areas throughout the school day so I am building my awareness of these areas within the learning.
I will add this information into the Learning Stories that I write.
Marry up the decomposition skill with the Talk Moves skills that we learn in the DMIC PLD. Breaking down the information in a word problem and adding step by step information to the word problem is all decomposing and supporting computational thinking.
