Computational Thinking: Decomposition

This video introduces the concept and process of decomposition, the first step in Computational Thinking. Examples of decomposition are shown and resources for teaching decomposition skills in the classroom are introduced. It is part of a collection of videos and links to activities that comprises a short course to introduce Middle and High School teachers to Computational Thinking. The resources are aligned to Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) K-12 Computer Science Standards 5.2 Level 2: Computer Science and Community. Videos are designed for teachers and activities are designed for teachers to implement with students in their classrooms, although some activities are also useful for teacher understanding.
