We've explored Connected Learning (CL) and Computational Thinking (CT), now it's time to bring it all home and look at how the CL framework can be used to design new (or support existing) activities and services for teens. 

Training Objective

• Participants scaffold knowledge they already have about Connected Learning (CL) and computational thinking (CT), and use it to recognize the ways in which CT supports CL.  

Training Outcomes
   Participants will:

• articulate how CL environments support youth learning of CT
• understand how to get started designing CT activities using a CT framework

This training is part of the YALSA/COSLA IMLS grant funded project "Transforming Teen Services: a Train the Trainer Approach."
