Computational thinking in the final presentation Leicester Uni.

Can any big foundations manage their work accurately without computer?

Mathematics build minds to think

No These companies need: Computer – Programmer – IT support - Employees can work on computers

IT IS A COLLECTION OF DIVERSE

SKILLS TO DO WITH PROBLEM SOLVING

THAT RESULT FROM STUDYING THE

NATURE OF COMPUTATION. IT

INCLUDES SOME OBVIOUSLY

IMPORTANT SKILLS THAT MOST

SUBJECTS HELP DEVELOP, LIKE

CREATIVITY, ABILITY TO EXPLAIN AND

TEAM WORK. IT ALSO CONSISTS OF

SOME VERY SPECIFIC PROBLEM

SOLVING SKILLS SUCH AS THE ABILITY

TO THINK LOGICALLY,

ALGORITHMICALLY AND RECURSIVELY.

IT IS ALSO ABOUT UNDERSTANDING

PEOPLE. COMPUTER SCIENCE IS

UNIQUE IN THE WAY IT BRINGS ALL

THESE DIVERSE SKILLS TOGETHER.

The importance of the computational thinking.

The creativity thinking is part of computational thinking.

The meaning of the algorithm The code in our lives How to apply the pattern of algorithm on

same problems

Ask this questions: How many passwords do you use? Do you write them? Do you have one password for all sites? What do you know about e-safety?

Using Pictures:

Show this video:

Ask them what is the criteria of the strong password. The answer Link1 – link2 – link3

Ask them about “What is the password?”

Then let them discuss to give the answer I want – can I drive the discussion to my answer that is a phrase (code) the user only know it

Ask them about “What is the good password?” and “How can we create it?”

Is the algorithm clear enough or not? Can you build your own algorithm?

Use these links to build you own algorithm: Link1 – link2 – link3 – link4 – link5

Use these links to measure your password strength: Link1 – link2
