Computational Thinking: A Digital Age Skill for Everyone.
David L. Barr, John Harrison, Leslie Conery · Learning and leading with technology · 2011
A group of high school students cluster around a computer looking at a series of graphs and charts on the screen and talking quietly but intently. They are collaborating with a group of students in South America using Skype. Together they have gathered data and created a model depicting the rate of deforestation of the rain forests around the world. Today they are discussing the changes they need to make to their data representation and algorithm before running their simulation. These students are engaged in what is called computational thinking.
