[Edu-sig] creative unplugged activities in computer science classes

[mw at creative-informatics.de]

Dear Python educators,

 

teaching Python includes explaining technical facets of the programming language and initiating and scaffolding hands-on programming exercises.

However, especially  if the object of the course is to develop “computational thinking” and to get a deeper understanding what computer science is, the curriculum might contain “unplugged” activities without a computer.

What do you think about unplugged activities challenging creativity? I would like to advertise a questionnaire, which is part of an international study on this type of activities in computer science education.

The results will be presented in August 2018 at Constructionism in Vilnius (Lithuania) and will be available to everyone http://www.constructionism2018.fsf.vu.lt/ .

 

Thank you and best wishes

 

Michael
