Interesting article and online discussion about “teaching computers”
Tuesday, April 29, 2014
Hello Readers!
http://pgbovine.net/two-cultures-of-computing.htm
An interesting read that discusses different cultures between programmers and users. If anything, this article helps me remember the "spotify" world students live in today makes teaching computer science more of a cultural challenge.
I originally found this link in a very interesting online discussion about programming education making a comeback in primary education.
I am becoming more interested in the Computer Science Teachers Association efforts to teach computational thinking in schools (ISTE also has some excellent resources on the same topic: computational thinking).
As I reflect on what kind of technology education schools should provide, these articles and resources just seem right.
I am curious what you think about computational thinking and how K-12 schools should "teach technology".
