Engaging youngsters with ancient approaches in education, especially reading, grows ever tougher in the face of their attachment to tablets and PC games. In this paper, we explore the digital storytelling more interesting and memorable for children. Digital storytelling is recognized as a motivating instructional approach that engages learners in 21st century learning skills which will be essential to success in the future. Digital storytelling is one of the latest pedagogical approaches that can engage learners in computational thinking. Educators are in search of recent technologies and education approaches to engage students in computational thinking. Digital storytelling using MIT Scratch have the potential to meet this demand.

This paper introduces CT-blocks Analyser which is used for analysing computational thinking concepts of CT-blocks project activities. This uses the emerging techniques of educational data mining and learning analytics to automate the instructional approach for CT-blocks projects. CT-blocks aims to infuse computational thinking within K-12 curriculum. The big data toolkit called, CT-blocks Analyser which is specifically developed for CT-blocks, a visually appealing programming environment for beginners;a blockbased programmable platform interconnected with more features in which students enjoy the learning process and it tries to make the users master in computational thinking.

Algorithmic thinking is one of the main key concepts in computational thinking. With using computers in close to all areas of our lives, the progress of algorithmic solutions to problems is very crucial. The comprehension of the character of problems and their algorithmic solutions is enormously most important for everyone. Algorithmic thinking is the capability to realize, execute, assessment, and create computational procedures for solving problems. This paper presents Alg-Design, a visual and block based programming environment to facilitate novices to improve the comprehension of Algorithmic thinking using programming and computing. The visual programming environment motivates students and they find enjoyable while creating personally meaningful projects.

Visual coding frameworks and block-based languages became an essential resource for computer science education. Applied in different courses and subjects they foster computational thinking, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. Furthermore, sharing the outcomes promote the development of an open mindset and teaches the principles of open source. In our work, we present Pocket Code, a mobile open source visual coding framework. We describe how this integrated development environment enables young users to program apps in a block-based manner directly on their mobile devices. We discuss how teenagers can share their projects via the app's sharing platform or as an Android application package file. The presented case illustrates how teenagers can collaboratively drive co-creative communities and foster open source and innovation by creating and sharing mobile apps.

This paper introduces a new teaching tool for K-12 schools with the aid to transfigure the way young peoples use of online data. The tool involves participators who don't have prior programming knowledge and wish to learn computational concepts as part of playing with online data. Computational thinking provides a way for solving many real-world problems that are not learned easily by using many existing tools. Map-blocks is a software suite that combines the easy to use visual programming environment with easy to get started block shaped programming environment.

Recent developments in pedagogy have focused upon computational thinking. Computational thinking provides a way to solve the problem and it is a key practice of science education. The importance of computational thinking is rarely found in K-12 education. Computational thinking is a an important skill everyone needs and it is correlated with many other concepts. These factors have made the development of new tools and syllabus. In this paper, we aim to show the experiments of fractal geometry using MIT Scratch. These computational exercises facilitate to learn many of computational thinking skills that are very important for the people in the near future. based on our experience with students, we claim that the concept of fractal and its implementation in MIT Scratch is the best practices to improve computational thinking in K-12 school level students.

With the introduction of fundamental concept computational thinking, block-basedprogramming tools are turning into more and more common in primary, middle and high school level introductory classes. block-basedprogramming languages support users to drag and drop different jigsaw shaped blocks and snapping together to form a program. The point of interest is on the programming logic rather than its syntax. In this paper, we present DB-Learn, a browser-based and visual programming environment. This facilitates to learn the concepts of relational algebra concepts. Relational algebra is one of the important concepts to learn and understand the operations of database management systems.
