A comprehensive five-session activity plan that includes the use of technology for young children and their families to gain computational thinking literacies.
These lesson plans include ideas for discussion prompts for families as they participate in the activities. Each plan describes the setup for the activity as well as estimated time frames and complete supply lists. Cubettos is the primary technology in these lesson plans for library staff to use when facilitating technology rich activities with preschoolers and their families. This set of resources also includes all of the supplementary materials library staff need to successfully facilitate these activities.
