We should teach computing concepts from when kids start school, if not before. Agree? Disagree? http://drblack.posterous.com/getting-school-children-excited-about-computi …

@aral@synapticity@Dr_Black Give me 1 example of a bad ICT lesson and I'll give you *TEN* good ones -
@digitalmaverick@synapticity@Dr_Black No one is saying that there aren’t good examples *despite* the system. This isn’t about you :) -
@aral@synapticity@Dr_Black What do u mean 'about me'? I represent ICT teachers on#Naace & am capable of not always thinking its 'abt me' -
@digitalmaverick@synapticity@Dr_Black That would explain your defence of the status quo. Hadn’t realised you had a vested interest in it. -
@aral And I did not defend any 'status quo' - what I did was take issue when seeing the work I & others do described as 'dysfunctional' -
@digitalmaverick The system was being described as dysfunctional, not the work you do. -
@aral He said "The qn should rather be 'should we disband the dysfunctional approach at *teaching* ICT now in place?'" (my emphasis)

@aral@loobey41@synapticity@Dr_Black But to see a word like 'dysfunctional' used to sweepingly describe what I & others do is a disgrace -
@digitalmaverick@loobey41@synapticity@Dr_Black You are mistaken. ICT in schools today is a disgrace. Defending it isn’t going to fix it. -
@aral@digitalmaverick@synapticity I agree@Dr_Black we need more CS from an earlier age but it's curriculum not teachers at fault
