Computational Thinking: What is it? How should it be taught?

This video explains what computational thinking is, and how it can be taught in the classroom, specifically the primary school classroom. I go through the definition of computational thinking, break down its different elements (decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, algorithm design and debugging), and also give practical tips on how to teach computational thinking in ICT and other subjects in the National Curriculum.
