Summary

In Chapter 5, Digital Technologies as a subject area was discussed. This chapter continues the exploration of concepts and teaching practices for Digital Technologies by going more explicitly into computational thinking.

This chapter begins with a general discussion of computational thinking and concludes with case examples of digital technologies in action in the classroom/centre. Through studying computational thinking in action, it is hoped that you will come to understand this concept and develop a range of ways in which you can teach it meaningfully to children in the early years and from the Foundation to Year 6 levels (Figure 6.1).
