Hey #ieedchat, did you see that @puhsd is one of 70 districts in 39 states to sign the #CSforAll pledge?#CSEdWeek https://t.co/NVfNuB6d4z

In reply to @puhsd

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:35 PM EST

A1: Parents want CS education but schools don't offer it, heartbreaking #ieedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:36 PM EST

The true floppy disks. Flip floppin around. Solid Black. So finicky. #IEedchat

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:37 PM EST

A0: Judy Lane HHS- I have no idea but it was bulky and seemed to stop working when I had something due, might have been me #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:37 PM EST

Q1: Look at this image: https://t.co/WAaYXQNmQi What stands out to you? Why? #CSedweek #IEedchat source: https://t.co/4sIpvPiBbM"

rguztec Dec 5 @ 10:37 PM EST

A1: 93% Parents and 40% schools, were not meeting expectations as a whole in Ed. We need to do a better job of preparing them Ss #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Dec 5 @ 10:37 PM EST

Q0: Deatra Lee, Tech TOSA @puhsd.org - I 1st use a computer in elementary, it was big and bulky #IEedchat

In reply to @puhsd

ieedchat - Moderator Dec 5 @ 10:38 PM EST

Here is the image for Q1: #IEedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:38 PM EST

A1: Parents don't seem to need convincing. Ts seem on board too, with many saying it should be required. #IEedchat

jswilliams Dec 5 @ 10:39 PM EST

A1: Schools need to offer #CSforAll. It should not just be for boys who would be interested in CS anyway. #ieedchat

Chrisjlara24 Dec 5 @ 10:39 PM EST

A1: I feel like more student input should be prevalent. Survey the Ss and see what it is they want to have in their education #IEedchat

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:39 PM EST

A1: when my girl and I rode bikes in the dessert w/the big boys we had a sayin "girls kick @$$" great opp for girls! #IEedchat

mark_synnott Dec 5 @ 10:39 PM EST

A1: Parents want their kids to learn computer science just like Language Arts or Math. #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:40 PM EST

Completely agree with this, the students opinions must be #1 #ieedchat

In reply to @Chrisjlara24

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:40 PM EST

How would you word the question for Ss? What would you ask? (sometimes I think Ss need structure in the prompt) #IEedchat

In reply to @Chrisjlara24

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:40 PM EST

Q1b:"67% of parents and 56% of Ts believe Ss should be required to learn computer science." Where do you sit with this? #CSedweek #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Dec 5 @ 10:40 PM EST

A1: Only 40% of schools teach CS - it should be available to all Ss #IEedchat

jswilliams Dec 5 @ 10:41 PM EST

A1b: Computer Science should be a high school graduation requirement. #CSforAll #CSEdWeek #ieedchat

shane_pinnell Dec 5 @ 10:41 PM EST

A1: Its like we’ve invented the car (again), we don’t yet understand the impact it will have on our society and economy. #ieedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

A1b: I'm in favor. I still use the bit of CS I was required to take in college. Having it earlier would've been even more powerful.#ieedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

A1b: I feel it should be available at all schools but not required, not all students want it. #ieedchat

rguztec Dec 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

A1B:All Ss need to be taught CS, wether they like it or not. I took English and other courses I did not like in school. Why not CS #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

Q2 in one minute... #ieedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:42 PM EST

I like this metaphor, Comp Sci. is no small thing, yet we don't give it the attention & development it needs in gen. ed. culture. #IEedchat

shane_pinnell Dec 5 @ 10:41 PM EST

A1: Its like we’ve invented the car (again), we don’t yet understand the impact it will have on our society and economy. #ieedchat

mark_synnott Dec 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

A1b: It's a language with rules just like all others. It's the language of software and machines. It affects our modern life. #IEedchat

rguztec Dec 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

I think your right on with this Joe, I took courses I was not to fond of and I learned and got out of my comfort zone #IEedchat

In reply to @jswilliams

mark_synnott Dec 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

A1b (cont): So yes, it must be taught. #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Dec 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

A1b: I believe it should be required #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

Q2: CS needs to improve with inclusion of Females & Minorities. Share suggestions we can do today. #CSedweek #IEedchat

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

A1b: think we need more trained Ts to keep up? #IEedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

A1b: I would add... #CSforAll being a requirement doesn't mean every year, or even a full year. But at least a survey course. #IEedchat

shane_pinnell Dec 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

a1b: CS should be a requirement for graduation. Not mastery, but definitely exposure. #ieedchat

jswilliams Dec 5 @ 10:44 PM EST

.@MrPoseley Depends on the definition of CS & the type of course. Ss need to transliterate across a range of platforms and tools. #ieedchat

In reply to @MrPoseley

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:45 PM EST

A2: Stop making it seem like a big difficult thing. Help spread what CS truly is so more students want to be a part of it. #ieedchat

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:45 PM EST

A2: Tell them! #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 Dec 5 @ 10:46 PM EST

A1b: I think it is needed. I did everything I could to avoid it in school and have been playing catch up ever since #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Dec 5 @ 10:46 PM EST

A2: Stop saying there isn't an interest so we couldn't fill the class. Expose these Ss to CS & I bet they become interested. #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:43 PM EST

Q2: CS needs to improve with inclusion of Females & Minorities. Share suggestions we can do today. #CSedweek #IEedchat

shane_pinnell Dec 5 @ 10:46 PM EST

A2: ensuring all students are exposed to CS can remove barriers for disenfranchised. #ieedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

by requiring it will we make it like math and ELA where kids grow to despise it? Just playing devils advocate here. #ieedchat

In reply to @shane_pinnell

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

A2: My granddaughter is in Robotics in elementary, good math Skills--I keep telling her #CSforgirls #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

Q2b: How can coding and computer science be celebrated and promoted in K-12 schools? #IEedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

A2: Be inviting. Any group can become too homogeneous. Go out of your way to present the invitation to ALL Ss. #CSforAll #IEedchat

rguztec Dec 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

Thats why I love @vidcode promoting CS for the ladies #IEedchat

In reply to @shane_pinnell, @vidcode

mark_synnott Dec 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

A2: Put a computer in front of them, direct them to https://t.co/14O0e3mjk8, then watch them light up. By "them" I mean all. #IEedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:48 PM EST

This is awesome. #girlpower #CSforAll #IEedchat

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:47 PM EST

A2: My granddaughter is in Robotics in elementary, good math Skills--I keep telling her #CSforgirls #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

A2b: Incorporate into other subjects, make it interesting for students and applicable to the real world so students see its value #ieedchat

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

A2: and by that I mean #CSforAll #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

Q3 in one minute... #ieedchat

Chrisjlara24 Dec 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

A2: the more universal exposure to it the more likely all groups will latch on. Also share relatable stories. #ieedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Dec 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

A2: @techteacher88 does an amazing job of promoting his CS Ss. He shares w/ campus & social media. #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:50 PM EST

Q3: CS focuses on computational thinking and problem solving. What does this look like in our classrooms? #CSedweek #IEedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:50 PM EST

Excellent example. Thanks for sharing! #IEedchat

shane_pinnell Dec 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

A2b: allow students to solve their problems or address needs/wants with CS, not just following along with an outdated textbook. #ieedchat

mark_synnott Dec 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

Yes. He is very inspiring. His students do amazing work. #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Dec 5 @ 10:49 PM EST

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

Say more about this. Sounds like a lot to unpack. #IEedchat

In reply to @shane_pinnell

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:51 PM EST

A3: Giving student a task or problem and guiding them to discover solutions on their own with teacher support. #ieedchat

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:52 PM EST

A3: As an Eng T what can I do besides encourage, cheerlead? teach me #IEedchat

rguztec Dec 5 @ 10:52 PM EST

Science moves forward with Peer reviewed journals that are moving faster than a textbook, why not everything else #IEedchat

In reply to @shane_pinnell

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:53 PM EST

A3: I think Ss should be documenting their process with gSuite like apps. Comp. thinking shows up in documents & spreadsheets. #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:53 PM EST

A lot of CS fanatics are self taught. Start digging and learning then find ways to incorporate into english classes. #ieedchat

In reply to @judykaylane

Chrisjlara24 Dec 5 @ 10:53 PM EST

A2b: show off the work so all can see #IEedchat

EduGladiators Dec 5 @ 10:54 PM EST

How do you lead &grow in a multigen-workplace? #EduGladiators tackles this fierce conversation! #resiliencechat #ssdedu #IEedchat #akedchat

rguztec Dec 5 @ 10:54 PM EST

A3:Comp thinking is derived in logic and following a formula that derives a product. No different than teaching phil or lang #IEedchat

mark_synnott Dec 5 @ 10:54 PM EST

A3: Programming requires students to plan and create step by step directions for a computer. They are storytellers with code. #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:54 PM EST

Q3b: What will Computer science look like 5-10 years from now? Dream big. #CSedweek #IEedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:55 PM EST

.@emwdx has some great stuff on computational thinking too: https://t.co/xfHbhJvQfF #IEedchat #CSforAll #CSedweek

In reply to @emwdx

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:55 PM EST

A3b: More students will know what CS is and it will help K-12 students become better problem solvers and critical thinkers. #ieedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Dec 5 @ 10:56 PM EST

A3: Ss working to think, plan and solve. It takes perseverance. #IEedchat

rguztec Dec 5 @ 10:56 PM EST

A3B:CS will be in every part of daily life, such as waking up and saying "Ok Google, make my coffee with half an half and 2 sugars"#IEedchat

mark_synnott Dec 5 @ 10:56 PM EST

A3b: 5 years - Most schools will teach CS. 10 years - we'll say "remember when we didn't teach CS?" #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 Dec 5 @ 10:57 PM EST

A3: seeing the problem, creating a plan, using ingenuity to follow the plan and solve #IEedchat

jswilliams Dec 5 @ 10:57 PM EST

A3: I don't want to hear that CS is too tough Ss. That would be like saying learning English grammar is too tough for some kids. #ieedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:58 PM EST

Alright start gathering those final thoughts! #ieedchat

MathButler Dec 5 @ 10:58 PM EST

A3b: #CSforAll will build a common language, bridging cultures and solving bigger problems together. #IEedchat #CSedweek

judykaylane Dec 5 @ 10:58 PM EST

i resemble that remark #IEedchat

jswilliams Dec 5 @ 10:57 PM EST

A3: I don't want to hear that CS is too tough Ss. That would be like saying learning English grammar is too tough for some kids. #ieedchat

jswilliams Dec 5 @ 10:58 PM EST

Final thoughts on #ieedchat: Students need to be transliterate across a range of platforms, tools and media. #CSforAll

Chrisjlara24 Dec 5 @ 10:58 PM EST

A3b: I'm going big thinking here. We have the person who will invent complete AI sitting in one of our classes. #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Dec 5 @ 10:58 PM EST

A3b: Every student learns CS, every student creates using CS. #IEedchat

shane_pinnell Dec 5 @ 10:59 PM EST

A3b: everyday CS will be about defining problems and expected outcomes, coding/technical bits will be automated. #ieedchat 1 of 2

mark_synnott Dec 5 @ 10:59 PM EST

FT: Read @hadip's blog on why we need computer science taught in schools. He tells it perfectly. #IEedchat https://t.co/DzrqeK0w7B

In reply to @hadip

rguztec Dec 5 @ 10:59 PM EST

FT: CS is not for all, but it should be taught to all. Allow the opportunity that will create leaders in our communities #IEedchat

MrPoseley Dec 5 @ 10:59 PM EST

Any final thoughts on #CSedweek and computer science in K-12 schools? #IEedchat
