Introduction
The computer has had a profound impact on many aspects of society, education, and our daily lives. One way that the computer has impacted us is in the realm of thinking and problem-solving skills. Computational thinking is relatively new conception of certain thinking and problem-solving skills. What is computational thinking? That is what you will have the opportunity to learn in this WebQuest!

Task
Computational thinking is something that can be addressed no matter which subject is being taught. The expectation is that students will be able to see that computational thinking is everywhere in daily life and can be applied to a wide variety of problems and content.
By the end of this webquest you will be able to implement computer algorithms to create desired movement sequences.
Work through the tasks on the following pages to get started. Good luck!!
