"I spend a lot of time sharing the benefits of scannable technology with teachers. QR codes and augmented reality triggers make it easy for students, teachers, and school visitors to find a web resource by using a scanning app on their device. Another option for quick website sharing is a URL shortener like goo.gl or bit.ly."

Computational Thinking (CT) and the use of computer programming (often referred to as "coding") to support math instruction has gained momentum in recent years. CT has many definitions but most researchers agree that it "involves the use of computer science concepts such as abstraction, debugging, remixing and iteration to solve problems" (Brennan & Resnick; Ioannidou, Bennett, Repenning, Koh, & Basawapatna; Wing as cited in Lye & Koh, 2013).
There are many "potentials" for using computer programming as a context for the development of CT in the mathematics classroom, four of which I've listed below:"
