In recent years, there has been a lot of talk and buzz around computational thinking. Based on
your readings for this course and what you’ve learned in the past in this program, share your
perspectives on “computational thinking”. Should it be a required part of student education? How
do you make a bridge between computational thinking to other subjects, (particularly math and
science)? Is coding all there is to computational thinking? What are the implications of
computational thinking in our society and where do you see it fitting in the future? Think hard and
make a decision on the issue of CT. Write a paper that defines, defends, and offers an example in
support of your opinion.
