This book contains highly effective ways to teach coding and computational thinking skills throughout primary and secondary schooling. It outlines a research informed path for students from birth to 18 years, identifying key skills and learning activities. Based on global perspectives and research at each stage, it outlines how these findings can be applied in the classroom. Teaching coding to students in K-12 has been a skillset that has been debated across educational jurisdictions globally for some time. The book provides examples of schools that are teaching coding to students in engaging and relevant ways, delivering well thought out compulsory curriculums. Additionally, it provides examples of schools where coding is not mandated in the curriculum and is taught in an ad-hoc manner. Through the full discussion of all of these varied examples, the book presents both sides of the serious and ongoing debate in the field as to whether coding should be taught in an explicit way at all. The increasing school of thought that teaching coding is a skill that is already obsolete, and the focus should be on computational thinking is completely examined and presented. In this book, both sides of the argument, as well as the specific, meticulous research underlying each side, are given equal weight. The debate is a serious one and requires a clearly defined thematic response with evidence on all sides of the argument presented rationally. This book does just that. Created by carefully selected authors from around the world, it will be a highly studied research reference.

How the theoretical tools of literacy help us understand programming in its historical, social and conceptual contexts. The message from educators, the tech community, and even politicians is clear: everyone should learn to code. To emphasize the universality and importance of computer programming, promoters of coding for everyone often invoke the concept of “literacy,” drawing parallels between reading and writing code and reading and writing text. In this book, Annette Vee examines the coding-as-literacy analogy and argues that it can be an apt rhetorical frame. The theoretical tools of literacy help us understand programming beyond a technical level, and in its historical, social, and conceptual contexts. Viewing programming from the perspective of literacy and literacy from the perspective of programming, she argues, shifts our understandings of both. Computer programming becomes part of an array of communication skills important in everyday life, and literacy, augmented by programming, becomes more capacious. Vee examines the ways that programming is linked with literacy in coding literacy campaigns, considering the ideologies that accompany this coupling, and she looks at how both writing and programming encode and distribute information. She explores historical parallels between writing and programming, using the evolution of mass textual literacy to shed light on the trajectory of code from military and government infrastructure to large-scale businesses to personal use. Writing and coding were institutionalized, domesticated, and then established as a basis for literacy. Just as societies demonstrated a “literate mentality” regardless of the literate status of individuals, Vee argues, a “computational mentality” is now emerging even though coding is still a specialized skill.

CODING in Primary School is a handbook to learn techniques of teaching Coding to primary or elementary school students. In short, after carefully reading and studying this book pages, you should be able to plan a series of lessons in order to help your students to apply the fundamentals of Information Technology through the creation of small computer programs. Therefore, it is a book addressed to teachers, educators, parents and all the people believing in an educational value of Information Technology for new generations, but without relying in a senseless way on the most ordinary forms of mythology of the "digital native" according to which the child is born already knowing how to use a computer.And not only for professionals and IT experts. This is a useful (we hope so!) and operational tool also for people that do not know coding techniques and, with a great sense of responsibility, wish to start a training path before entering the classroom.In order to achieve these goals, CODING in Primary School has been divided in 4 Modules and 10 Chapters, corresponding at the10 teaching units into which the introductory course in coding is divided. This according to an outline that reflects the gradual evolution of the child thought in function of some essential categories of logic, Mathematics and Geometry. Module 1 - First lines of code. It introduces some preliminary concepts to Coding such as that one of "The dialogue with machines" (Chpt. 1), the difference between right and left (Chpt. 2) and child ability to make a first very important effort of abstraction: imagine himself/herself in the shoes of someone else. (Chpt. 3). Module 2 - ABC of Information Technology. It provides an overview of the fundamentals of coding and their relationship with the development of logical thinking and child's ability to summarize, such as the concepts of algorithm (Chpt. 4) and loop (Chpt. 5). Module 3 - Abstract, but not too much. It focuses on some abstract essential concepts to represent and manage elements in a space, like rotation angle (Chpt. 6) and conditional clauses "IfElse" (Chpt. 7). Module 4 - Creative coding. It provides instructions necessary to the application of Coding principles aimed at creating stories (Chpt. 8), video-games (Chpt. 9) and digital environment (Chpt. 10) through the tools described and proposed in the whole handbook (Code.org, Scratch and Minecraft Education Edition).
