HOUR OF CODE
is an introduction and celebration of inspiring computational thinking in students.
Coding can be linked across the ONtario curriculum and is now directly embedded in
Math Science

Computational thinking is often associated with computers and coding, but it is important to note that it can be taught without a device (Unplugged coding) and focuses on the thought process of thinking, not just technology or Robots.

What is Computational Thinking?
Computational thinking is a method that breaks down a problem into simpler steps to make it easier to solve. It develops problem solving and critical thinking skills in all aspects of learning.
It is often broken into 4 parts
(but not as a Step by Step process)
Imagine if we had a problem of how to build a lego car? How could the Computational thinking steps help us?

Decomposition
students to break down complex problems into smaller, simpler problems.
Pattern recognition
students look for similarities & Trends to make connections in a problem
Abstraction
Students identify important information while ignoring unrelated or irrelevant details.
algorithms
students design simple steps or rules to solve problems.

Hour of code & Code.org sites
On multiple pages, you will see these two sites.
Hourofcode.com allows You to choose grade level, device type, unplugged and even skill level through the filters
Code.org offers lessons in multiple grade levels that include sequential learning of coding skills through activities. Some are unplugged, but many require devices.
