Computational ThinkingComputational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists. To reading, writing, and arithmetic, we should add computational thinking to every child’s analytical ability. Just as the printing press facilitated the spread of the three Rs, what is appropriately incestuous about this vision is that computing and computers facilitate the spread of computational thinking. Computational thinking involves solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science. Computational thinking includes a range of mental tools that reflect the breadth of the field of computer science. from Jeannette M. Wing's Computational Thinking Manifesto The Center for Computation Thinking at CMU has more information about the subject. We talked briefly about Computational Thinking back in 2006. Recently I listened to Jon Udell's interview with Jeannette Wing and realized that it's time to bring this subject up again for discussion. |
