Task Description: Today we were doing a dictation about comp thinking. First we had to go on google doc to start writing. Then we had to go on writing then go on the video to start listening to the video. Next we had to write what we hear. After that we had to read what we wrote. Finally we had to blog it.
This is the dictation:
Computational thinking is solving a problem with a send of instructions. Thee instructions need to be broken down into smaller steps for coding. There are four steps: 1. Decomposition – breaking down the problem into smaller, manageable parts 2. Pattern recognition – finding similarities within and between problem 3. Abstraction – Focusing only on important aspects of the problem, ignoring irrelevant or unrelated details 4. Algorithm design – Developing a step – by – step solution to the problem which can be very creative.
