Hii guyss!! I am Celia, this week’s translator. The five terms we have worked on this week are:
Computational thinking: it is the process through which people establish a set of actions for solving different types of tasks and problems thanks to the development of skills such as problem-solving skills and critical thinking.
Code: it is the information that computers and programs must read and follow in order to work properly. Codes are normally presented in a special “language”, which is the only one that computers are able to read.
Algorithm: it is the set of instructions or steps that must be followed for solving a specific task, problem, operation, etc. Computer programs must follow algorithms in order to work correctly.
Programming: it is the action of creating the instructions and algorithms that computers and programs must follow in order to solve different tasks and problems.
Podcast: it is an archive through which information about any topic is transmitted in audio format. These files can be downloaded and listened to at any time.
QUESTION: Why is it important for children to develop Computational Thinking?
As it is written in the definition, computational thinking is the process through which we can solve different problems. By fostering children's computational thinking skills, they will develop abilities such as logical thinking. Thanks to this, they will be able to predict, to think about the results of different actions and their impact and consequences. Basically, developing their computational thinking will help them solve any kind of situation in the future.
