#NVedchat First class was BASIC at Rancho High School on Teletype 33 using 110 baud to CCSD central computer.

davydgrey Mar 13 @ 10:18 PM EDT

We actually took the family Apple computer on a road trip to Arkansas back then (80s) just to play games #NVedchat

Q2: Do you think every school should offer computer science classes K-12? #NVedchat

technoberrys Mar 13 @ 10:19 PM EDT

Every K-12 school should offer CS it is the new universal language #NVedchat

MaggieJCox Mar 13 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2 Yes! We no longer need required typing class but required #computerscience #coding #NVedchat

I'm not sure I totally know what a CS class would be. My school is talking about when to teach keyboarding, google apps #nvedchat

In reply to @SnowVegas

Snehalstocks - Moderator Mar 13 @ 10:19 PM EDT

.@technoberrys Even more, every job in the future will require some basic knowledge of #coding. #CareerTechEd #NVedchat

In reply to @technoberrys

Jenn_Garner Mar 13 @ 10:19 PM EDT

I think we need to focus on basic skills first. I have students that can't even type #NVedchat

In reply to @SnowVegas

A3- inquiry & project based learning where students lead the way. Asking their own questions and finding the answers! #NVedchat

had forgotten about playing Oregon Trail on the dumb terminals connected to the district mainframe back in the 80s #NVedchat

In reply to @RMarkNewburn

So true! Nearly 30 other states have some requirement and hopefully NV will join soon. #NVedchat
