Reflections on Brain Gain
May 15th, 2006 by driscollThe Brain Gain discussion last Tuesday was great. Preparing for the talk helped me organize some new thinking around the role of computer science in junior/senior high school curricula that will inform the work I do in the autumn. Next year, grades 6, 7, and 8 will not have a separate CS course. Rather, I will be working with teachers of “core” subjects to integrate the material that was previously housed in my junior high CS classes. For example, can the semantic, organizational principles of XHTML find a place in a Language Arts class? Can we teach online identity and citizenship during our Advisory blocks?
Blurring the boundaries of the nebulous “Computer Science” curriculum is a way for junior high schools to address the online lives of their students. Primary goals of the new, distributed coursework will be similar to the previous years’ CS coursework, however, I think linking it explicity to students’ Math, Science, English and Social Studies classes will lead to more lasting, meaningful learning experiences.
Slides from the Brain Gain talk “Tomorrow’s Learners Today” are available in Powerpoint and HTML formats (love to OpenOffice export features!)

All I can say is… please write more. OMG, it seems as though I watched a video instead of reading an article…it’s so apparent. You totally know what you’re talking about. My thought was, why waste your knowledge on blog articles when you could be publishing books? Think about it. You’re awesome at what you do. WORD!

You made tremendous great ideas here. I done a research on the subject and learnt most peoples will agree with your blog. Gone are the days of catchy slogans such as “Where’s the Beef?” or “I Can’t Believe I Ate the Whole Thing”.

[PhD Nutrition] Pharma Whey: Great product. Just steer clear of the Strawberry Creme flavour. It s got a hideous artificial taste and you WILL get sick of it quickly. So don t go buying 10lbs of the Strawberry Creme flavour. All other flavours are delicious! Very effective!

After all, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought you’d have something interesting to talk about.

The crux of your writing while appearing agreeable initially, did not really work perfectly with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you managed to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I however have got a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one might do well to help fill in those gaps. When you actually can accomplish that, I would definitely end up being fascinated.
