for Education: Computational Thinking (CT) is a problem solving process that includes a number of characteristics and dispositions. CT is essential to the development of computer applications, but it can also be used to support problem solving across all disciplines, including math, science, and the humanities. Students who learn CT across the curriculum can begin to see a relationship between subjects as well as between school and life outside of the classroom. CT involves a number of skills, including: These skills are supported and enhanced by a number of dispositions or attitudes that include: Confidence in dealing with complexity Persistence in working with difficult problems Tolerance for ambiguity The ability to deal with open ended problems The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution See our Computational Thinking Concepts Guide for a printable version of this list, along with teaching tips for each concept.

Webes oktatószoftvert indít a Google Nyílt forrású online oktatófelületet indít a Google, Oppia néven. A projekt célja, hogy azok, akik tovább akarják adni valamely területen szerzett ismereteiket, azt egy interaktív felületen, különböző feladatok létrehozásával tehessék meg. Ezek a feladatsorok az Oppia rendszerében az úgynevezett “felfedezések”, amelyek elkészítésében egyszerre többen is részt vehetnek, egy webes interfészen keresztül - és még programozási ismeretek sem szükségesek hozzá, miután akárcsak a válaszadás, a feladatsorok létrehozása is grafikus felületen zajlik. Folyamatos visszajelzések, alakítható feladatsorok A Google szerint a kezdeményezés lényege, hogy egy tanár, vagy mentor kérdéseket tesz fel a tanulónak, az ezekre kapott válaszok alapján pedig eldönti, melyik legyen a következő feladvány, a felhasználó milyen visszajelzést kapjon, illetve hogy az adott témában jobban elmerüljenek-e, vagy inkább új területre térjenek át. Új beviteli formákat adhatók hozzá

The Gooru Some pretty big changes are going on at Google Gooru! The first of which was our brand new logo which we introduced yesterday (8/6), and today we're giving our newsletter subscribers and followers a sneak preview of our new website. The New Google Gooru site will launch officially tomorrow (8/8), so I wanted to give you guys a brief tour before we made the switch. We've organized all of our content into a 'mega-menu' at the top of the screen with the three main sections of the Google Apps ecosystem: Migrate, Adopt and Enhance. The Migrate section features content specifically for any organizations interested in making the switch to Google Apps. The Adopt section will look a lot like the old Google Gooru site. The Enhance section is designed for Google Apps Admins and users who want to get more out of the Google Apps experience. Another exciting development is the expansion of our Google Gooru Contributor Program.

Realika ‘Show Your Work!’ OK, let me show the book summary. How to get yourself noticed if you hate self-promotion Reading time: 6–8 minutes I came across Austin Kleon’s work (’Steal Like an Artist’) for the first time while browsing the bookshelves of Borders in Burlingame, CA in August 2012 waiting for my friends to finish shopping. 0. 1. Find a scenius. 2. Take people behind the scenes. 3. Send out a daily dispatch. 4. Don’t be a hoarder. 5. Work doesn’t speak for itself. 6. Share your trade secrets. 7. Shut up and listen. 8. Let ‘em take their best shot. 9. Even the Renaissance had to be funded. 10. Don’t quit your show. If you were limited to only one lesson, what is the single thing you took away from reading this? Notes[0] I was actually in the middle (25% in — to be precise) of writing the summary for Peter Thiel’s ‘From Zero To One’, but took a 2-day break and wrote this ☺
