3.1.7 Computational Thinking: GT Applications Beyond the Math Classroom and Across the Curriculum

Computational thinking is not just for the technology, math, and science classrooms. This presentation will share the many ways GT teachers of subjects other than math and science can help students develop good computational thinking skills while preparing for careers in computer science or a wide variety of other fields. Computational thinking’s connections to Creative Problem Solving, the Hilda Taba Model and Bloom's will be demonstrated. Participants will leave with a PowerPoint of links to a varied set of examples of interdisciplinary connections to algorithm, decomposition, patterns, and abstraction — the keys to computational thinking.
