Here are the most interesting things I’ve read this week.
- Kids can’t use computers – The plaintive cry of someone who can.
- due for revision – Kimberly Bohan riff off the ten commandments and asks what we should really be teaching people
- Rowan Williams wonders whether it could all have been different.
A happy occasion and it felt very good to be there.
The computing article is interesting- came across it elsewhere this week as well. There’s a worrying shortage of computing science graduates in the country and indeed the world at the moment…and this is perhaps not surprising when you consider that one in ten Scottish secondaries has no computing teacher!! Yes, we can and do teach ICT skills across the whole curriculum, but computing as a distinct subject must be revitalised otherwise the economic future of the country will suffer terribly.
