This new edition of the popular book No Fear Coding offers new
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. The new, expanded edition
of this popular book features updated tools and resources, with
more discussion about the features of each resource and the
concepts each one can teach. It incorporates the latest research on
computational thinking and deepens coverage of the ISTE Standards
for Students. Also new in this edition: Suggestions for extending
CT to more subjects, such as music, art and physical education, and
an explanation of how CT can be used in special education. Expanded
coverage of teaching CT offline to help students apply it without
digital technology. Ideas on how to alleviate fear about the
subject matter, as well as how a busy educator might incorporate
more content into their already intense curriculum. Insights into
helping children become active creators rather than passive users
of technology, especially important today as we spend hours on
devices and many children face challenges with anxiety and ADHD.
Discussion of how coding and CT help children develop the executive
functioning skills that are critical in early childhood. 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.
