Emergency Remote Teaching: Challenges & Possible Solutions
In this episode I read and comment on Jackie Corricelli’s article titled “Emergency Remote Teaching: Challenges & Possible Solutions,” which provides suggestions for CS educators facing challenges with teaching in online environments. The original article can be found on CSTA’s website: https://csteachers.org/Stories/emergency-remote-teaching-challenges-possible-solutions
Accessible CS Education through Evidence-based Programming Languages with Andreas Stefik
In this interview with Andreas Stefik, we discuss the importance of using evidence-based programming languages, problems with the lack of replication in CS education scholarship and academia in general, the importance of designing for accessibility and disabilities, lessons learned designing Quorum (an accessible programming language and platform), and much more.
Computational Thinking for Youth in Practice
Designing an Equitable and Sustainable Computer Science Education Program
As computer science continues to grow, it is expected to outpace other fields in job opportunities, with a projected 3.5 million computing jobs open in the US by 20261. Computing jobs pay more than double the average US salary2. But today, only 40% of all schools (and an even lower percentage of elementary schools) teach computer programming or coding3. This is the case even though nine out of ten parents surveyed want their child to learn computer science4.
