About Computing Education Blog. Resources for new CS Teachers. Sally Fincher on the need for CER: What Are We Doing When We Teach Computing in Schools? May 1, 2015 at 8:21 am. The learning of reading seem analogous to our efforts today to. The learning of programming — but those efforts to teach simplified reading led to significant harm to the students. What harm are we doing to students when we teach programming in these new ways? Still others hold that coding howsoever approached is insufficient for l...

About Computing Education Blog. Resources for new CS Teachers. Important paper at SIGCSE 2015: Transferring Skills at Solving Word Problems from Computing to Algebra Through Bootstrap. May 11, 2015 at 7:44 am. I was surprised that this paper didn’t get more attention at SIGCSE 2015. The Bootstrap folks are seeing evidence of transfer from the computing and programming activities into mathematics performance. There are caveats on the result, so these are only. Results at this time. Entry filed under: Unca...

The papers for ICER 2013 are available in the ACM Digital Library now at http:/ dl.acm.org/citation.cfm? I think that they remain free for a month (so, until September 12), so grab them quick. Andy Ko (U. Washington) said that it was because it’s been three years since CE21 funding started. My favorite example of the value of big dat...

About Computing Education Blog. Resources for new CS Teachers. Through the Screen of a Female Coder: A First Person Perspective on Diversity in STEM – CRA. I’m a fan of these first person female perspectives on what it was like to be a CS student. (Recall the Stanford one I posted recently. I met Satoe at Snowbird last month. When I approach female friends with the question Why don’t you try computer science or computer engineering? August 3, 2016 at 7:57 am. Because he thought the psychoanalytic perspec...
