Altho we need to teach kids abt computers in CS classrooms, “CS is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes”. Facts/Knowledge + thinking skills both needed, as in Science & Math.

@profkeithdevlin - thanks for your recent article on math thinking (cited in this blog post). I find Math educators' take on#MathematicalThinking to be a useful guideline for thinking about#ComputationalThinking2 replies 2 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -
Materials like
@codeorg's videos on How Computers Work are helpful, but CS needs to be about more than just knowing how machines work. Other fields have consciously incorporated higher order thinking in curricula for a reason!2 replies 1 retweet 5 likesShow this thread -
Shuchi, before you publish conclusions you may want to examine the other materials in the
@codeorg CS Discoveries course that go together with those videos, which are 40 minutes of content within a year long course.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Do read the article, Hadi, not just the tweet. In it I laud the videos as addressing what the
@CACMmag article calls for but underscore that they must be but part of other essential learning to be addressed in a CS curriculumhttp://www.shuchigrover.com/what-cs-can-learn-from-science-and-math/ …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Thanks, and indeed thats how our CA Discoveries course approaches it too. Sounds like we’re on the same page
