Week 4 & 5 Digital
Flipped task:
Should we/could we ‘teach kids to code’? Why or why not?
Children should view computers as something they can tinker with, not that they are magic.
It is a mode of self-expression
"Little girls don't know that they are not supposed to like computers". Parents are the ones that put children off. It is not magic and it is not too complicated.
If we don't, we raise a generation of consumers, not creators.
What is the relationship between Computational Thinking and coding?
knitting is about symbolic commands with loops
Irregular verbs involve pattern recognition
Computational thinking doesn't have to be about coding - but it is a key component
What is the role of storytelling in teaching coding?
Storytelling gives us a reason for the code - e.g. the martian GPS anecdote
Disruption starts as people with a vision - creativity
Programming is about creating worlds - you can build your own universe with its own rules. Create something out of nothing.
