Comment on Cathy Davidson: Why We Need a 4th R: Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic, algoRithms by Karl

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.

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.

Suicide and Thinking All Hope is Lost, What Really Happens….

Suicide is a choice made by some when it is felt by the individual that all hope is lost but when we consider all hope lost; we are listening to the wrong voice. To think that all hope is lost is a lie and we should not listen to it!!! There are no short cuts to immortality. When we commit suicide, we just pick up where we left off and we do it again.
