In this professional development presentation, educators learn about how to look at patterns (1 of the 7 components of Computational Thinking, according the Ignite My Future platform) in the world around you to make choices. This presentation can be used by individuals to learn about them, or used to present to others. The video is a recording of one of the sessions provided to teachers through a 7 week series of "CT Parties".Within this resource, you will find the presentation slides, a recording, a K-2 and 3-5 lesson to discover patterns, and activities to support parents understanding and home use of the strategy. This lesson is part of the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline which is partly funded through a GO Virginia grant in partnership with Chesapeake Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, and the Loudoun Education Foundation.

The provided resource will help first graders troubleshoot when experiencing technical difficulties prior to asking the teacher for help. Print the following document(s) on cardstock.
There are three options 1. Print like a bookmark and fold in half. Glue the two sides together. The student will have to flip from front to back to see the problem and troubleshooting tips. 2. Print half sheet for students to see all the problems and troubleshooting tips at one time. 3. Print a class size to display in the computer center or on a wall near student desks.
You can use colors if it will help students better locate the item when they need help. The context is very simple as it is meant for younger students that may not be able to read all the terminology at the beginning of the school year. Please feel free to MAKE A COPY and then modify the context to better fit your classroom needs. The teacher will need to review the document and symbols with the students prior to distributing individual copies. This will ensure better understanding of the terms used.

In computer science, developing programs involves planning. This planning may include representing algorithms and programs graphically with symbols, like in a flowchart, or writing, like using pseudocode. Pseudocode is not a programming language, but a simple way of describing a set of programming instructions. This practice sheet offers the opportunity to take pseudocode and flowchart information and interpret the outcomes.

Making and eating fry bread is a special event for many Native American people. People began to make fry bread because sometimes in the past they only had a few things to make meals with. This lesson leads students through the history and heritage of fry bread with the book Fry Bread– A Native American Family Story by Kevin Noble and consider the similies and metaphors within the story, and then reflect on family traditions in their own culture and household through a flowchart of pseudocode. This lesson was created through a partnership between CodeVA and the Virginia Tribal Education Consortium (VTEC).

Games have been an integral part of human culture throughout history. They not only entertain, but also inform and change us. Today video games designers bring together art & code to immerse their players in a story. There are video games being created to solve real-world problems and video game players solving scientific mysteries.
