    If you ever wonder why we need Minecraft in schools, get to a space where parents & kids learn/play together

    Good teaching is not kids only mimicking the notes that you gave them. That's coddling

    Coddle - never challenging kids to do their own thinking. This is prevalent in math education

    Define "coddle." There's good teaching with support, which would include critical thinking and problem solving skills. 1/2

    Great article! Only needs an addition to the title "... and start teaching code better". Less automation and more Ts interacting with Ss!

    Also, you can't coddle kids and then also teach them to be problem solvers or independent thinkers

    Better yet, don't just teach "coding". Play Minecraft & build things with Redstone. Then equate it to coding programs

    Also, teach debugging. It's a critical part of the problem solving process.

    I'm pretty sure that I had meetings scheduled during ISTE. Unfortunately none of those meetings are in my calendar or email...oddly
