I’m with you, Karl. The web is pretty damn cool. We’re definitely into the “taken for granted” stage though.

One thing’s for sure — I need to build an application using a fat client just to see what all the hype is about and so I can think about this in an educated fashion.

Hi Eric, there are a number of free programs available now to help you on the path to learn to code. First step is to download Scratch from MIT and follow the getting started guide: http://scratch.mit.edu Don’t be fooled by the program’s seeming simplicity, it is being used to introduce students to CS at Harvard: http://www.cs.harvard.edu/malan/publications/fp079-malan.pdf After that, I’d go to http://codeacademy.com

I understand there’s an upcoming “Learn to code” program that people can enroll in free of charge. I don’t recall the details.

Wow, this is a shitty list. Metallica and AC/DC suck ass.
List needs some real metal, where are Death, Opeth, Bathory…?
In a whale’s ass? Metallica is a shitty band who plays mediocre watered down commercial rock, nothing more. Master Of Puppets is like the gayest song ever.

Comment on Programming, Math, and Computational Thinking: on education by Karl

Hi Phil,

Thanks for passing that along. I should have had that in the post – I’ve tweeted about it here and there and it is a fantastic resource. I think Google has published a terrific tool to frame how some of this can be brought into K-12 education.

For those interested in getting started using Computational Thinking in your math/science classrooms. I suggest you check out the lessons and resources on Google’s Exploring Computational Thinking website.

Thanks for sharing out about this great pedagogy and the need for educators to implement it.
