Kindercoding Unplugged cover

Kindergarten teacher Deanna Pecaski McLennan, PhD, takes readers on a journey through her own kindergarten classroom and how she’s actively cultivating computational thinking in her students through a Reggio Emilia lens and emergent curriculum. Using photos, vignettes, narrative, and more than eighty unplugged coding activities, this book will help readers better understand what coding is and how they can begin to implement easy and developmentally appropriate coding games and activities into their early childhood programs.

“These pages are full of inspiring ideas, emergent activities, authentic vignettes, classroom photographs, and ‘unplugged’ provocations about screen-free activities to nudge your thinking about what coding and computational thinking is, and can be, in your classroom. Deanna encourages you to become a co-learner with your children at the intersection of constructivist theory, the Reggio Emilia approach, screen-free coding ideas, the computational thinking process, collaboration and creation that inform her practice and pedagogy. —Chip Donohue, PhD, Principal, Donohue and Associates, Founding Director, Technology in Early Childhood (TEC) Center at Erikson Institute, Senior Fellow and Advisor, Fred Rogers Center
