3. Computational thinking
◦ Definition: Computational thinking is in the same
way a computer would solve problems, critical and
logical thinking is employed in the process of
problem solving.

4. Algorithms
◦ This stage is reached when developing a sequence of systematic,
logical stages that take in a certain set of inputs and generate a
predetermined set of outputs depending on them, this method
automates the problem-solving process.
◦ This is a mind map of how to go step by step in coming up with a
solution to your problem.

5. Benefits of teaching CT at school
◦ It will help learners to see the world as it is and keep up with the disruptive technologies
◦ Learners will be equipped with necessary skills such as creativity, critical thinking, leadership skills
as well as technological skills
◦ It make the communication between the teacher and the learners quick and easy
◦ Protect our nature and environment since no trees will be cut for papers
◦ Easy to plan and access your lesson
