Teaching Methods – Unplugged Approach

Play Episode

Description

How are we going to teach coding without using any technology device? Many educators may have the same question, and actually it is possible to do it. The audience can easily find the answer in this episode. By using unplugged approach, they will not be limited to teach coding in the labs or technology classrooms, and they can even gather materials they have and create fun activities for young children to learn coding outside the classroom. The complicated coding concepts can be incorporated into unplugged activities, and I use some interesting examples to demonstrate how to get young children involved in programming learning without a computer, like learning Algorithms through making origami and understanding the binary code by using beads to spell their names.
