was when I started because I've learned so many new things about it.These statements, made by Jamie, may help to reinforce responses to several questions on thepost-survey; for example, Jamie’s post-survey data indicated that she “Strongly Agreed” withQuestions 41 (I believe that girls/boys can be good at computational thinking) and she “Agreed”with Question 45 (I believe I can be successful in computational thinking). Despite thechallenges she faced during the process of automating her clubhouse, Jamie’s interview suggeststhat this had not significantly impacted her perception of her ability to “be good at” or “succeed”in computational thinking.Idea 3: Jamie was able to explain computational thinking principles.

After havingdifficulties connecting my computer to the projection system, I decided to complete the notes onan extra copy of the student version using the document camera. Through this experience, Ilearned that I had not allowed enough space in the notes for students to write their responses. Ialso learned that it was much easier to connect with students using the document camera. I hadfreedom to interchange documents easily, and students could easily follow along as I physicallycompleted the notes with them. This problem actually resulted in a positive change because Iwas fortunate to have a back-up plan. Even when not using technology, it can be advantageousto practice using chalkboards and dry

Specifically, our perception of the ECEenvironment is that it views LaTeX as a tool that should have been learned implicitly throughoutour education.
