  1. ComputationalThinking Chin-Sung Lin Eleanor Roosevelt High School

  2. Personal Background • Name: Chin-Sung Lin • Academic Background: BSEE, MSEE, MST • Working Experience: Research, Hardware Design Engineer& Teacher • Teaching Experience: Math, Physics & Technology • Current Courses: Computational Thinking, Regents Physics, Robotics & Engineering Design, and Advanced STEM Research

  3. Computational Thinking (CT) • The thought processes involved in formulating problemsand their solutions so that the solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent. [Cuny, Snyder, Wing 2010] • A problem solving method that uses computer science techniques.

  4. CT Essential Questions CPR C– Computer Principles How does a computer work? P– Problem Solving How can we solve problems in “computer” way? R– Real-World Applications How can we apply CT in real-world applications?

  16. Grading Policy • Homework Assignments (HW) (15 pts) • Quizzes (QZ) (15 pts) • Class/Lab Participation and Results (CL) (10 pts) • Project Deliverables and Presentations (PR) (60 pts) • Weighting Factor of Individual Contribution (WF) (0 ~ 100)* • Your Grade = PR x WF %+ HW + QZ + CL • Paper assignment due in the beginning of the class on due day • Electronic assignment due by the midnight on due day

  17. Computer Resource • Each student is assigned a specific MacBook Air™ laptop. • Each group is assigned a Lenovo™ Windows™ laptop. • Be aware that 5 classes are sharing the same laptops! • Use computer resource only for class work ONLY. • Use computer resource in a safe and responsible way. • Backup your work through email / USB flash everyday. • Reshelf your laptop and plug in the power in a designated way. • After school use of computer are ONLY limited to the lab.

  18. Course Expectations • Preview the lesson before coming to the class. • Attend class on time and ready to work. • Actively participate in class. • Respect your classmates and their right to learn. • Work as a team with your partner. • Complete and submit assignments on time. • Review the current lesson after the class. • Academic integrity per school policy.

  19. Open Lab & Technical-Help • Open Lab: 1st & 2ndperiod, (Wed. & Thur.) • Technical-Help: 9th period (everyday) • After School: Project groups that need technical advice, access computer resource, tools, or work on their projects may come to the lab (Room 201/417) on Wed. through Fri.

  20. HW: Student Information Form • Go to homework section of class website and find the student info form • Fill in your basic information • Inventory your computer skills • Contemplate your short-term (class) & long-term (academic/career) goals • Let me know your issues and concerns about learning • Share your expectations with the class [The assignment due Friday, 09/05/2014]

  21. HW: Grouping • Choose your partner (two students per group), and emailme your period, group name, name of group members (e.g. Subject: Period 1, Group: Lego, EmmetBrickowski, Wyldstyle) [The assignment due Monday, 09/08/2014]
