ISTE Computational Thinker Resource


The standard that I chose helps children develop their problem solving skills with using technology methods; so I decided to find a website that had many different math games because this deals with algorithmic thinking. When I was in elementary and middle school I loved when we would go to the computer lab and get to choose what games we play because it gave me freedom to have fun while learning. I feel like finding a website that has a lot to choose from makes this process of Computational Thinking fun for the kids who don't like problem- solving or Math in general. Also this website offers Preschool to 5th grade, so as the students advances the games do as well!

I have attached the link below to the website I found that has many different games that your students can play!

Also using Diigo in my individual professional efforts, I could use this resource while finding quotes from my sources for papers that I write for my college classes.  The first level of Bloom's Taxonomy is to remember; which is to recall facts and basic concepts. So I could use PowerPoint and make a vocabulary lesson; then have a review lesson at the end and have the students calling out the words with fill in the blank. The second level of Bloom's Taxonomy is understand; which is to explain ideas or ...

In class was the first time I ever used Diigo, which is an extension that lets you share links and different articles with groups and others. I don't really like using Diigo because I would rather share links on more social and active platforms like Twitter. However, I did like that Diigo was an add on for Google Chrome and was an easy way to share things. I liked that you can have hashtags that relate to your article, which makes it easier for others to find blogs and articles relating to a certain topic. During my second semester of college all of my classes have to deal with writing; so most of my assignments deal with blog posts, journals, or essays. I enjoy how laid back blogging is because it is a lot easier to write compared to a research paper. I also like how blogging lets you be personal and convey who you are online. Although blogging is a good technic to use as a teacher, I don't feel as I have learned a lot during this blogging process. I used to have my own blog ...
