CP1.2 - AEA Module #2 : The CS Framework

Summary

You will complete the second module from the materials prepared by the state of Iowa Board of Education to help elementary teachers in the state better understand CS and how to apply the CS Framework and Standards when designing CS lessons for elementary students. In those materials you are asked to keep a Reflection Journal.  You should answer these reflection questions in a document that you will share with me.

Module #2

For today's activity please complete the following module:

• Module #2 - Understanding the K12 Computer Science Framework

It is estimated that this will take 90-120 minutes depending on how closely you read the material and how much time you spend on answering the questions.

Deliverable

While completing the Module you should take notes about what you experience.  Furthermore, you should make sure that you complete the Reflection Journal Activities as they are presented in the materials. 

Please complete the following questions.

1. What did you write for each of the the Reflection Journal Activities?
2. What was the main point point of this training module?
3. How did this material fit in with the material you have learned in your CSEd program so far?
4. Identify and discuss at least one item/topic in the training that you felt added to what you had previously learned.  How did it improve your knowledge/learning?
5. Identify and discuss at least one item/topic in the training that was a completely new idea or thought for you.  How did it improve your knowledge/learning?

You should word process this and produce a PDF of your responses which you will submit via Blackboard.
