Teach students coding that goes way beyond drag and drop.

My EdTech502 course showed me the importance of coding and how fun it can actually be. This article gives 5 ways to get students excited about coding. Although Minecraft can be very engaging, there are many other opportunities out there.

I think this article has some good take aways. I do believe for primary school kids, the use of visual programming is not a problem. The lack of engagement comes from the task, not the environment. Well structured exercises involve plenty of problem solving that will keep kids motivated, without the worry of missing pesky semi-colons that occurs in general purpose languages like python and javascript. |

"On April 18, the second round of applications were due for the U.S. Department of Education’s EQUIP pilot, which will offer federal aid to students who attend university programs created in partnership with third-party companies, such as coding bootcamps. The folks in Washington now have to clarify the tangled relationships and responsibilities between the parties involved in the experiment. There are at least four: the university, its accreditor, the alternative education provider, and a “quality assurance entity” (QAE) to monitor the program."
