DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis new edition of the popular book No Fear Coding offers current research, updated tools and more cross-curricular connections for K-5 teachers to integrate into their classes. Coding has become an essential skill for finding solutions to everyday problems, while computational thinking (CT) teaches reasoning and creativity, and offers an innovative approach to demonstrating content knowledge and seeing mathematical processes in action. No Fear Coding introduced many K-5 educators to ways to bring coding into their curriculum by embedding computational thinking skills into activities for different content areas. This second edition features updated tools—including programmable robots and other physical computing devices—as well as new activities aligned to the ISTE Standards for Students and Computational Thinking Competencies. Also new in this edition: • New tools for teaching coding—including physical computing devices, block-based programming and AR/VR— along with methods for introducing, tutorials and lesson plans. • Teachable examples and activities that illustrate CT concepts—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithmic thinking. • Resources for deeper understanding and discussion questions for professional development and reflection on the practice of teaching coding and CT. • Tips on demystifying basic coding concepts so that teachers are comfortable teaching these concepts to their students. No Fear Coding, Second Edition will help build students’ coding and CT knowledge to prepare them for the middle grades and beyond.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlock your students’ creative potential by exploring the intersections between CS and art across various types of artistic media, including drawing, animation, music and physically interactive art. While there are books that discuss the intersection of the arts and computer science (CS), there are none written for K-12 teachers that cover the content overlaps between CS and the arts beyond a single programming environment, and that feature approaches and examples of practicing artists. Coding and the Arts fills that gap. CS sometimes gets a bad rap as dry, isolated and uninteresting work — the pursuit of analytically minded techies working alone. In reality, programming is deeply creative and enables artists of all types to discover new ways to express themselves. In this book, you’ll explore how to apply computation to stretch the possibilities in many art forms, as well as how to pave the way for entirely new ones. By approaching programming tools as artistic media, you’ll connect the dots between programming, creativity and artistic expression. Along the way, you’ll learn from a diverse set of computational artists and teachers who are using technology to push the bounds of traditional artistic media. Chapters include: • Spotlights of working artists and educators who are integrating computing into their art. • Deep dives into artistic programming environments, exploring their unique benefits, constraints and impact on classroom use. • Alignment to the four pillars of computational thinking to help you create richer learning experiences for students. • Lesson sketches aligned with CS concepts and the ISTE Computational Thinking Competencies. The book also offers strategies for supporting students in developing as computational artists, including the attitudes and practices that will help them as artists and computer scientists.
