![]() ![]() ![]() In my research, I have found that integrated computing solves three major hurdles to teaching computer science education in K-12 schools.įitting a new academic discipline into an already crowded curriculum can be a challenge. ![]() I work with faculty and students in teacher training programs to create and test integrated computing activities across all academic subjects. For example, students can use integrated computing activities to create geometric patterns in math, simulate electromagnetic waves in science and create chatbots for literary characters in language arts.Īs a professor of learning technologies, I have been designing integrated computing activities for K-12 students for the past five years. ![]() Integrated computing teaches computer science skills like programming and computer literacy within traditional courses. These barriers include a lack of qualified computer science teachers, a lack of funds and a focus on courses tied to standardized tests. However, a new approach to computer science education-called integrated computing-addresses the main barriers that schools face when adding computer science education. ![]()
