Journal ArticleDOI
Computational thinking for youth in practice
Irene Lee,Fred Martin,Jill Denner,Bob Coulter,Walter C. Allan,Jeri Erickson,Joyce Malyn-Smith,Linda Werner +7 more
TL;DR: A "use-modify-create" framework is presented, representing three phases of students' cognitive and practical activity in computational thinking, suggesting continued investment in the development of CT-rich learning environments, in educators who can facilitate their use, and in research on the broader value of computational thinking.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Digital manipulatives: new toys to think with
Mitchel Resnick,Fred Martin,Robert Berg,Richard Borovoy,Vanessa Colella,Kwin Kramer,Brian Silverman +6 more
TL;DR: Four of the digital manipulatives-computationallyaugmented versions of blocks, beads, balls, and badges developed by the de MJT Media Lab group are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Will massive open online courses change how we teach
TL;DR: Sharing recent experiences with an online course is a good place to start if you want to know more about how to become a better teacher.
Journal ArticleDOI
Programmable bricks: toys to think with
TL;DR: The applications and implications of the Programmable Brick are discussed—a tiny, portable computer embedded inside a LEGO ® brick, capable of interacting with the physical world in a large variety of ways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pianos not stereos: creating computational construction kits
TL;DR: In the field of educational technology, there has been too much emphasis on the equivalent of stereos and CDs, and not enough emphasis on computational pianos, so a new generation of "computational construction kits" that enable people to express themselves in ever-more complex ways, deepening their relationships with new domains of knowledge are developed.
