Conclusion

At the conclusion of this WebQuest, you will have a better understanding of the concept of computational thinking, and you will have had an opportunity to design an activity for introducing computational thinking with your own students in the classroom.

How do you think computational thinking skills can be of benefit to your students? In what ways can you help your students to develop computational thinking skills? Which examples of computational thinking activities from the class did you find particularly interesting or appealing?

If you find this kind of thing interesting, you might consider preparing to become a teacher of computer science. Purdue now offers a computer science teaching endorsement program that leads to a supplemental teaching license in computer education. This program is open to all secondary teaching majors and may be of particular interest to students majoring in math, science, or technology.
