Description
What is computational thinking? And how does it relate to critical thinking, not to mention pressing issues of digital literacy, and children's readiness to engage with contemporary digital media? Succinctly, computational thinking, or CT, can be defined as "e;the process of recognising aspects of computation in the world that surrounds us, and applying tools and techniques from Computer Science to understand and reason about both natural and artificial systems and processes"e; (Royal Society, 2012 p. 29).
