The coding movement: Resources for computer science education

Tweet me @eSN_Meris

Meris Stansbury, Associate Editor writes, "In today’s news, in the middle of a push for STEM is a growing movement to expose children to computer science education and skills, also known as computer programming or coding".

According to Code.org statistics, computer science is the highest-paid college degree, and jobs in computer programming are growing at two times the national average–but despite that, fewer than 2.4 percent of college students graduate with a degree in computer science.

What Most Schools Don't Teach - Short Film

Computer science education and coding advocates point to a number of websites, resources, mobile apps, and more to help teachers and students learn more about coding:

• Codecademy is a free site that teachers users how to code in various programming languages, including JavaScript and Python, through a serious of courses grouped under each topic or language.
• After-School Programming is an offshoot of Codecademy.
• CodeHS offers instructional materials and tutors to help people learn about computer science.
• Google offers computer science and coding competitions and summer programs.
• Scratch, developed at MIT, is a free program designed to help children learn coding by programming their own stories, games, and animations.
• Hopscotch is an iPad app “inspired by” Scratch.

About MagPointer

MagPointer is an add-on for Microsoft PowerPoint that makes presentations easier to follow and more effective.

The add-on is most suitable for content-rich presentations that include a relatively large amount of text, tables, graphs, schematics or illustrations, such as lessons, training sessions and corporate meetings. It is extremely useful for webinars, e-learning classes and online business meetings yet useful also for face-to-face presentations.

Automatically launched once a PowerPoint slideshow begins, MagPointer’s patent-pending algorithms detect objects within PowerPoint slides and allows the presenter to interact with those objects in real time. The presenter can highlight text objects or table components (e.g. a specific cell, row or column), enlarge specific objects while dimming the rest of the slide, create frames or zoom on specific slide areas.

In many cases, MagPointer's ease-of-use, rich functionality and flexibility will free you altogether from the need to prepare slideshow animation in advance, saving you precious time.

The software also automatically creates a navigation path between the objects that enables the presenter to move freely back and forth between slides or slide elements without disrupting the flow of the slideshow.

MagPointer is currently available for Microsoft PowerPoint running on Microsoft Windows OS.

Digital Learning and Grit:Tech Tools for Teachers in Flipped (and all) Classrooms by Laura Minnigerode

"Meghan Enga teaches 6th and 7th grade at Banting Middle School in Vancouver, BC. She uses a 3D learning platform called Quest Atlantis (QA)", writes Laura Minnigerode.

In QA, students undertake virtual quests that feel a lot like playing a video game, but with a story line that inspires social awareness. In the game, they can take on the role of a scientist, doctor, or mathematician. 
From those characters, they can gather information and interact with other players.

‘There is a lot of engagement and use of play theory,’ Enga says. “Embedded beneath all of this cool, engaged, and connected activity is a scaffold for the development of a set of skills vital for the students’ future success. This important toolkit for the future can be called ‘grit, perseverance and tenacity.'

A new draft report from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Technology, entitled "Promoting Grit, Perseverance, and Tenacity: Critical Factors for Success in the 21st Century", discusses the role of technology as a tool to support the “non-cognitive factors, attributes, dispositions, social skills, attitudes, and intrapersonal resources” that support student success. The report is part of a move to recognize and define a set of essential skills that will help students realize their full potential.

These attributes can be described in many ways. For clarity, the report defines grit as “perseverance to accomplish long-term or higher-order goals in the face of challenges and setbacks, engaging the student’s psychological resources, such as academic mindsets, and having the ability to look beyond current situations to future goals, strategies, and tactics.” Here you’ll find a few examples of the use of digital learning environments, online resources, and tools for teachers drawn from this line of research. These examples offer a glimpse into the potential of technology to support grit, tenacity, and perseverance.

Learning Theories for the Digital Age from Steve Wheeler

A Steve Wheeler slidedeck created below as an accompaniment to an invited webinar he presented for ELESIG - hosted by the University of Nottingham on 9 May, 2013. 
 

Learning Theories for the Digital Age from Steve Wheeler

Photo: Steve Wheeler

Steve Wheeler writes, "I pointed out recently that many of the older theories of pedagogy were formulated in a pre-digital age". 

I blogged about some of the new theories that seem appropriate as explanatory frameworks for learning in a digital age. These included heutagogy, which describes a self-determined approach to learning, a new model of peer-peer learning known as paragogy, a post modernist 'rhizomatic' learning explanation, distributed learning and connectivist theory, and also a short essay on the digital natives/immigrants discourse. I questioned whether the old models are anachronistic.
Is it now time for these new theories to replace the old ones?
