Module 6.3 - Computer Science in Our Schools

Computer Science in Our Schools

For this assignment, you will reflect on the TED talk from the previous page as well as the following presentation.

Assignment Details:

Watch

• 
  Note: The content and script use in this presentation comes from a presentation shared with Code.org affiliates (which I am) to use in their Code.org trainings. I transformed the original PowerPoint presentation to match my teaching style, and used Adobe Spark Video to create the video. Some of the content will sound familiar after watching the Ted Talk with Hadi Partovi, and that is because the information and stats used are coming from materials shared by Code.org.

Reflect

• After watching the Ted Talk, Computer Science is for Everyone, by Hadi Partovi and the Computer Science in Our Schools presentation above, write a 1-3 paragraph refection about your thoughts on the information that was shared. Be specific with your reflection. Did you you agree/disagree with the information that was shared? Did any of the statistics shared surprise you? What are your thoughts about teaching computer science in schools? This is your reflection, and the questions that were just asked are examples of things you could write about.
