"Many programs and schools understand the importance of teaching twenty-first-century competencies, but when it comes to coding, many educators feel lost. This book aims to bridge that knowledge gap by providing the support and encouragement in order to get started with coding in classrooms"-- - Book News
McLennan, a kindergarten teacher in Canada, outlines activities to teach young children the concept of coding without using a device. She explains how to use familiar tools to practice coding, including activities that incorporate creativity, collaboration, pattern recognition, perseverance, and creation and emphasize metacognition, problem solving, and abstract thinking. She discusses computational thinking and its connection to Reggio Emilia teaching; using coding boards to represent the hardware of a computer; organizing the classroom environment and materials to promote a maker mindset connected to computational thinking; creating a sense of community through unplugged coding; using creative ways to engage children in computational thinking and coding, including art and music; and using coding to support literacy and encourage learning math.
