So hi Jackie and thanks for starting the thread! I actually loved the comics style of this. We engage so much with academic articles in our work – e.g., reading, writing, and editing – I’ve been having questions about whether this is the best medium to sha…[Read more]

First the exec summary touches on bilingual students but not much so should have said it “largely overlooks bilingual students.” And, I meant to say that use DOES seem to be a key part of summer CITE training, which I appreciate….

My students use many different devices, with many solely or mostly on tablets, so I like to get off my computer sometimes to experience the interface as they do.
First, the inequities unearthed in the CS4All executive summary should not have surprised me, yet did anyway (…[Read more]

Yours is a lot more detailed – it’s great, very thoughtful! I see what you mean that Jamboard makes it tricky to show a cycle. The digital tool Inspiration you mention sounds like a good one to try, but too bad about the $$ (hate when…[Read more]

Ok so something I’ve been thinking about is the iterative process of syllabus design and redesign. Some years I just tweak a syllabus if my students and I think it’s working well and if it is still new, but every few years (maybe 3?) I…[Read more]

I like card games, and made a game out of this like the card game we did individually, because I think it would be fun to do with a group. It will be interesting to see if there are intentions that many students agree are important or if everyone has their own. My hope is that teacher candidates could use this game to set their…[Read more]

The cards I held onto were 4, 8, 9, 27, and 36. There were many I thought were very important, so it was hard to choose. I felt very inspired by all of the ways that students and educator are engaging with computing, digital tools and literacies that we learned about in t…[Read more]
