Computational Thinking Abstraction and Pattern Generalization

>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=RdzYOtxhuDc

This video introduces the concepts and processes of abstraction and pattern generalization, the third step in Computational Thinking. Examples of abstraction are shown and resources for teaching abstraction skills in the classroom are introduced. This video is part of a collection of videos and links to activities that comprise a short course (Problem Solving through Computational Thinking for Educators: • Online Professional Development Training for Middle and High School Teachers) to introduce Middle and High School teachers to Computational Thinking. • The resources are aligned to Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) K-12 Computer Science Standards 5.2 Level 2: Computer Science and Community. Videos are designed for teachers and activities are designed for teachers to implement with students in their classrooms, although some activities are also useful for teacher understanding. • Problem Solving through Computational Thinking for Educators Course: http://www.curriki.org/oer/?rid=101147 • Computational Thinking: Abstraction and Pattern Generalization • http://www.curriki.org/oer/Abstractio...
