Overview of class

In this course we will examine the role of computational tools and ideas in the design of transformative teaching and learning experiences. Grounded in perspectives from the Learning Sciences and Computer Science Education, we will engage in topics of pedagogy, designing for equity and inclusion, creative applications of computing, and the integration of computational ideas across multiple disciplines. We have cross-listed the course in Teacher Education, Learning Sciences, and Computer Science in order to foster cross-disciplinary dialogues that consider the affordances of computational ideas for designing learning environments that are asset-based and supportive of multiple routes to understanding various subject-matter.
