What is Computational Thinking?

I am already incorporating many of the ideas given, however I could always be doing better.

In my classroom, many of the ideas presented are things I am already doing with my students.  This includes modeling and simulation - I have my kids create 3D printed designs to go along with a variety of units - most recently Invention Convention.  I also use a lot of graphs and spreadsheets for kids to organize and present information.  In addition, there are many activities and projects where kids need to follow specific steps.  I think that many of the ideas in the video are things teachers already do and they just don't know.  Helping my colleagues realize how easy it is to integrate this standard into things they are already doing (or showing them how they are already integrating) is something I could totally do.
