“We don’t teach computer science with the belief that everyone will be a computer scientist. We teach it because it is increasingly a skill we need to operate in and understand the world around us.” 🙌 slj.com/2018/04/techno…

@codeorg Agree! It is the language we need today and that we will need in the future.

@codeorg

@codeorg 'Students who identify a problem and create a computer-based solution are more likely to pursue coding, even those who don’t consider themselves “good” at math or science"' Yes! Coding as a tool to solve a problem works. This is where #PBL shines. Seen this 1st hand with Ss.

@codeorg @simone_dice

@codeorg @PADeptofEd Then make coding classes pass/fail only to be fair to the "not a future computer scientist."
