Download or read book Computational Thinking with Blockly Games written by Dr. Ashok Banerji and published by Ashok Banerji. This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to teach coding to kids. It is to be used before starting programming in Scratch and using drag-and-drop block programming Many parents want to teach their children about coding but often do not know where to begin or what to cover. The idea for this book evolved to precisely address this need. It is meant for kids and anyone who wants to learn the basics of computer programming and Computational Thinking. Welcome to the world of Computational Thinking for young learners. The book covers foundational problem-solving concepts through simple games, taking young students on a journey of thinking, planning, and solving problems. This book aims to aid this process, promoting creativity and innovation. The importance of teaching coding from the early school years is recognized by many countries. It is now mandatory under the new education policy of Govt. of India. Blockly Games have been adopted in this book as an enjoyable way to introduce computational thinking and programming concepts. The book follows a graded pedagogy with guided discovery (Chapters 1 to 14), semi-guided lessons (Chapters 15 to 16), and open-ended exploration (Chapters 17 to 20). Printed versions: Full colour (ISBN: 9798890260475) and b/w version (ISBN: 9798890261038). Available from Amazon, Flipkart and Notion Press - https://notionpress.com/read/computational-thinking-with-blockly-games. Ebook: https://books.google.co.in/books?id=AMO5EAAAQBAJ&newbks=0&hl=en&source=newbks_fb&redir_esc=y Some reviews: 'Computational Thinking with Blocky Games' by Ashok Banerji PhD is a timely work to build the digital skills of children and prepare them for a future that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. Using the open-source software developed by Google, Dr Banerji provides a 20-day package for teachers to introduce systematic and logical thinking using blocks and a gaming environment most suitable to children. This book will go a long way in popularising computational thinking in schools. Sanjaya Mishra PhD, Director, Commonwealth of Learning, British Columbia, Canada “All books are not for children but for every child, there is a book, and this book is a wonderful gift that has been designed especially for young students to master the art of Computational Thinking. In fact, the book is for every age to learn essential 21st-century skills.” Bratati Bhattacharyya, Secretary General and CEO, Shikshayatan Foundation “Written as a step-by-step guide in simple language, this book will help children to learn coding through gameplay.” Dr A.M. Ghosh, Rtd. Prof. and HOD Computer Science, BESU, Shibpur “Loved the book.

Your book beautifully addresses a common challenge faced by parents who want to introduce coding to their children but often need help knowing where to begin or what concepts to cover. Your focus on Computational Thinking as a foundational element is both innovative and essential, as it forms the bedrock of crucial problem-solving skills in today's digital age. I was particularly impressed with how you designed the book, taking young students on a journey of thinking, planning, and problem-solving through simple games. This approach makes learning enjoyable for children and ensures they build a solid understanding of the subject matter. Your emphasis on promoting creativity and innovation complements the learning process, encouraging students to think outside the box and develop unique solutions. The decision to incorporate Blockly Games in the book was brilliant. It provides an interactive and engaging way to introduce computational thinking and programming concepts, making it easier for young learners to grasp the material. The graded pedagogy with guided discovery is a thoughtful addition, allowing students to progress at their own pace while offering proper guidance throughout their learning journey. It is a comprehensive and well-crafted guide that will undoubtedly benefit many young learners and their parents. It will equip them with the necessary skills and mindset to excel in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Download or read book Coding For Kids written by Zafer Demirkol and published by Pusula. This book was released on with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An easy way to teach kids programming with guidance of teachers and parents. Our children carry far more immense mental abilities than we think. Just to reveal and explore them, we need to know the tools and methodologies. "I had been observing some inspiring attempts that are aiming to teach programming to children. However the thought of “I am a father and why doesn’t my son learn programming?” endorsed my soul. Initially, I would think that it was early for him. But on what circumstances? We are discussing the children who catch tens of movements in the games and make decisions (I have to admit I cannot do that) in split of a second over a TabletPC in their hands. It wasn’t early for him, it was late indeed. My child could have started learning programming because they had that mental capability. The missing piece in the puzzle is to introduce the appropriate tools with them. First of all, call it as programming, coding or whatever, it is one of the best application methods of mathematics. Just like application of real life. It is the life itself. Whether you like or not, math is a part of your life. Even the sentence of “Can I buy a kilogram of apple?” includes math. Programming is a way of application of math and it is one of the best ones. Because, it includes, problem solving, thinking with multi-dimensions, observing and testing results, getting excited and loving your creation, being proud once you complete; devoting for better, organizing your work, putting your best for your best… In a nutshell it includes many things among life. In other words, just like maths, programming is also an essential part of the life. While we are making a plan for a vacation, we are making a program and utilizing programming algorithms for our journey. While we are organizing a wedding event, we would be using a programming algorithm set. During studying to an exam, we are using a likely approach for programming; just like the moments of planning a meeting with a friend, driving the marketing for a product and within all the planning of a meal; and we apply those approaches to our life. The lack we don’t do is to convert those approaches into programming. If we plan well, we enjoy a beautiful vacation, a happy wedding, a good get-together with a friend, we achieve highs sales with a good marketing plan, a successful exam result. That is what programming is. Programming defines how we manage our life. It is a part of our daily life. Whether we like it or not. Even if we are not making professional coding (programming), we are making programming in our professions and think like a programmer. If you are a good programmer, your program consumes less resource and you become successful in what your business. In a nutshell, programming is not an optional occurrence, in life it is the life itself. We all make programming but we create their codes differently. The biggest achievement in teaching children about how programming is done, is to enable them figure those type of life skills and background with fun and swiftness. Pushing aside all the coding techniques, contemplating over the programming and solution ways for the programming is a practice of programming and we benefit from it in every part of the life. The rest is the technicality to convert them into codes. There are so many programming languages to do that and all we have to do is to learn the syntax. Thinking all the possibilities and alternates and figuring out the most efficient is a practice of life just like in programming. I decided to channel my 30 year know-how and expertise into teaching children how to program. For that objective “Where shall we start?”, “How can we make it lovable?”, “What tools should we use to teach and practice the programming?” “How old should we make it start?” “What is the best methodology?” I chased the answers of questions like the ones above. While experimenting on that, my son helped me a lot. I noticed his approach and comments. I observed the other children’s approach. With an honest wish to motivate and help all the children, teachers and parents… 1. Computers 2. A Brief Overview to Blockly Platform 3. A Brief Overview to Scratch Platform 4. Algorithms 5. Loops 6.
