“Everybody in this country should learn to program a computer,because it teaches you how to think.” – Steve Jobs.
However, it should be noted that Jobs – like many high tech parents – limited their children’s screen time, and encourage you to visit the Kids and Screen Time page.
As is often the case in education policy, there are a lot of people doing amazing things with computer programming and technology, but systems that allow information sharing and indexing need to be improved. The mission of K-12coding.org is to serve as an information clearninghouse, where parents, teachers and policy-makers can find useful resources and share their experiences. While I think you will find a wealth of existing resources, I am only one person and need your help to improve the number of resources available in order to “scale-up” computer programming in schools across the country.
If you know of any useful resource that the site is missing, or have any questions, please email me at steve@k12coding.org. Also, please join our forum and scale-up. For more information on k-12coding please visit About K12coding.org.
