Computational Thinking That Is Optimally Difficult for Gifted and Advanced Learners (Poster 19)

Friday, November 10, 2023
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Veracruz Exhibit Hall
In this session, participants discover how to employ gifted education pedagogies to teach computer science skills and develop stimulating learning environments for gifted and talented students. To boost rigor, difficulty, and student learning and engagement, we investigate the Code.org curriculum, computer science big ideas, computational thinking concepts, and formative gifted education procedures.

Learning Objectives:

  • Select, adapt, and use a repertoire of instructional strategies to differentiate computer science instruction for students with gifts and talents
  • Listen and reflect on cutting-edge ideas about using gifted education pedagogy to teach computer science skills
  • Formulate ideas about application, practice, and theory related to computer science and gifted children that enhance classroom practice
