How do you build problem-solving, grit, and computational thinking?
Through play.
LRNTECH 3600 students (future teachers) diving into screen-free coding activities, and figuring out how to weave them into a traditional curriculum.

We started our last unit of the season, computational thinking and Computer Science by playing SET. How game of SET Powers Computational Thinking?     •    Pattern Recognition: Identifying consistent similarities or differences across four variables (color, shape, number, shading) to find a match.
    •    Decomposition: Breaking down a complex card into its individual attributes to analyze them one by one.
    •    Abstraction: Filtering out visual “noise” to focus strictly on the logical rules that define a valid set.
    •    Algorithmic Thinking: Creating a mental “search algorithm” by picking two cards and calculating the exact requirements for the third.
    •    Logical Evaluation: Using boolean logic (All the Same OR All Different) to verify data sets instantly.

Edutopia’s Paige Tutt wants to know: What brilliant uses of tech have you seen this year?

Paige says: "Technology moves fast (that's an understatement, really), and we trust you all to point us toward what's actually making a difference inside your classrooms. We want to continue to spotlight what you consider the best of the best, and only the best of the best.

This year, I'm wondering again if you can so generously share your reflections on what brilliant uses of technology you've seen this year!

This can be something you do yourself or a way to shout out a colleague who really deserves some recognition for their ingenuity and innovation. No idea is too big or too small!"

Never stop learning

Can we code without computers? Yes we can! We went low-tech and unplugged to explore computational thinking, the kind that builds grit, problem-solving, and a healthy respect for mistakes as data. Perfect mindset training for future classrooms 😊

We explored Teachable Machine today, experimenting with how it can introduce computer science and machine learning ideas in an elementary classroom. They analyzed its potential, accessibility, and classroom fit—thinking like teachers while learning like creators. Curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in action.

Information Literacy and Connectivism are the twin engines of surviving (and thriving) in this century’s chaos of information. Sprinkle it with common sense and a healthy dose of curiosity and you’ve got the ultimate survival kit for the digital age.

Happy or as it often becomes in schools, Dot Week.
The at the Schindler Ed Center invites you to create your own dot and reflect on how you are making and will continue to make your mark as a future educator.
For an added challenge, head to the Technology Playground (back of the studio) and try coding our Finch robot to draw a circle. It is not as easy as it sounds!
