NDLE 2016 Dilwyn Owen - ICT Co-ordinator Ysgol Gyfun Bro Morgannwg Sonny Singh - Assistant Head Teacher Bassaleg school Computational thinking, data & information literacy • Problem Solving and Modelling • Data and Information Literacy What is Computational Thinking? Break down a problem Try and solve the problem Use skills to get a computer working on the problem. Why is computational thinking important? Key questions: Is this the most efficient way to solve the problem? Is this the fastest way? Does it require the least amount of resources? Does it solve the problem and give the right answer? Can it be used to solve other problems? What can you do with computational thinking? You take a complex problem and break it down into smaller problems It’s necessary to work out the steps or rules for getting things done The complexity of the task needs to be managed, typically by focusing on the key details The way previous projects/problems have been accomplished can help. Data and Information Literacy Data Capture Data Analysis Data Representation Data and Information Literacy "Construct frequency tables for sets of data, grouped where appropriate e.g. Database Construct frequency tables for a given set of data, grouped where appropriate. Perform wildcard search - ?, *. Perform complex searches related to natural language queries designed by the learners. Spreadsheet Use decision functions e.g. If, Vlookup, COUNTIF and multiple IF. Represent data visually from a secondary source and / or experiment." Task On a piece of paper write down either a flow chart or instruction list for the following; “Making a cup of tea” “Making a mug of hot chocolate” - which parts of the above problem can you re-use and which parts are new? “Making your favourite cocktail” - minimum steps as possible Interlinked with other strands of the DCF ● Producing and Creating ● Interacting and Collaborating Computational Thinking/ Data & Information Not Just an IT idea ● Working out how to ‘get dressed for winter’. ● Explaining the steps to grow a plant from seed. ● Scene organisation when producing film or play. ● Efficiently solving Sociology problems . ● Decomposing large amounts of text. ● Using large datasets for Geographical models ● Producing databases relating to historical dates and events. ● Literacy database for MFL Computational Thinking and Data literacy Expressive Arts Look at a sequence of steps for a dance or performance and identify different parts of it. What the performance would look like if the order were changed around? Health and well-being Analyse a flowchart determining possible illnesses from symptoms and discuss what the dangers would be of changing the flow or sequence of the different elements. Look at sport movements and explain how small changes can affect overall movement, Humanities Explore a flowchart which examines the effect of global warming with inputs such as amount of CO2 produced, deforestation etc. modify the inputs and variable values. Computational Thinking and Data literacy Languages, literacy and communication Come to a conclusion of what country you are in by looking at a flowchart that asks questions as inputs on things like currency, landmarks, travel times to get there etc. Mathematics and numeracy Look at an algorithm to predict the formula for the area or circumference of a circle. Science and technology Change a method or step in a method, predict results in light of changes, such as science experiments Compose experiment and demonstrate in a flowchart, change variables either theoretical or with experimental data and predict outcome.
