Training the next generation of computationally literate teachers
The increased push to expand computing into K-12 schools in the United States requires us to train thousand s of new teachers to not only understand computing ideas, but also how to teach their students how to think computationally. However, there are few teacher education programs that focus on developing preservice teachers’ understanding of computational…
NSF supports project to support first-generation engineering students’ design thinking
My colleague Ashlie Martini and I have received funding from National Science Foundation to use case studies to introduce design thinking to first-generation and underrepresented students to help them transition from classroom and lab-based learning to engineering capstone design and ultimately to their careers in engineering fields. Through this project, we will (a) develop…
Creativity and Computational Thinking
My colleague Mike DeSchryver and I wrote a article arguing for the use of new literacies and computational thinking to promote creative thinking. We discuss the design decisions we make to integrate computational thinking through new literacies and computational thinking for inservice teachers enrolled in our Masters in Educational Technology (MAET) program at Michigan…
Visualizing Data
Below is an activity I have used in our Masters in Educational Technology program at MSU to allow students to visualize data using Infographics. Visualizing Data Activity In this project, you will create an infographic to highlight statistical, timeline, process, or geographical-based information. Your goal should be to show your…
