through coding<\/strong><\/p>\nImmersion into an activity is something that happens to us when whatever it is we’re doing is just too good to let go – whether it involves reading a great book, constructing a sandcastle, or engaging in a discussion. Unfortunately, it’s a skill we’re losing partly due to technology, which is teaching us to become more easily distracted and to jump from one activity to another (like when we are scrolling through our feed or switching between apps). Ask yourself – when was the last time you were able to focus on one single activity for hours without checking your phone or looking for something else to do? <\/p>\n
Coding (or, better put, working on a coding project) is an interactive activity that usually involves several aspects (writing code, constructing a physical object, moving between the two to see how it works, looking up new information to solve a problem) while still setting out a clear task for us to solve. In other words, it’s the perfect way to pull us back into an immersive type of thinking that makes time fly and our brains burst with new knowledge. You could also try coding together with your kids to see this for yourself! <\/p>\n
10. Computational thinking, the essence of coding providing another benefit for kids<\/strong><\/p>\nWe’ve already discussed computational thinking at length in one of our other blog posts – so take a look at it if you’re interested in finding out more about it. But in short, computational thinking involves the designing of functional solutions based on a decomposition process and the identification of commonalities and similar patterns. It’s how computers work to solve problems, and it’s how we can work to solve them too. Coding is all about it – but so is every other unfamiliar task in life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
