Computação plugada WEB: um sistema WEB para divulgação e acompanhamento de atividades relacionadas ao pensamento computacional

Abstract

This article has a technological nature and describes an opportunity to promote the learning of computing concepts through the development of a Web system. The main idea of the system is to eliminate the need to install applications previously developed to promote computational thinking, allowing their activities to be accessed by any type of device with internet access and a browser. The objective of this work is to present the system developed to spread activities related to Computational Thinking, expand the scope of Unplugged Computing activities and facilitate the application of these activities. The methodology used started with a first stage of study and analysis of the applications of the Computação Plugada project. Then, the development of the Web system was planned and carried out. The current version of the system provides the contents of the Computação Plugada Binários application, with some modifications and improvements in its functionalities, and provides activities based on the activity Counting the Dots - Binary Numbers, from the book Unplugged Computing by Bell et al (2011). We believe the system will be able to facilitate the dissemination of activities inspired by unplugged computing to promote computational thinking.
