All well and good to say, but on WHAT tech? And where in the day? And what curriculum could possibly match market progression?! #edchatie

Computer Science will be a leaving certificate subject option from 2018 and coding will become part of the primary maths curriculum

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 3:47 PM EDT

Thrilled that @RichardbrutonTD is interested in tech. But we really must consider where our primary sector is at resource-wise. #edchatie

Sir what. #edchatie

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 3:51 PM EDT

ICT funding is grossly inadequate to meet needs of implementing a curriculum. Regardless of ability, we cannot do a subject (1/2) #edchatie

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 3:53 PM EDT

justice by hoping schools can provide for tech at local level. Those who can will. It'll further divide have & have-nots. (2/2) #edchatie

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 3:54 PM EDT

I really don't want to be negative, but we have to be realistic here. Our current Science curriculum is 18 years old and so dated. #edchatie

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 3:55 PM EDT

We haven't managed to update that in 18 years so how on earth can a coding curriculum maintain pace with development? #edchatie

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 3:58 PM EDT

Be practical. This is a reactionary move that we'll regret. Coding and problem solving within existing frameworks is all good. #edchatie

Small Data for Big Change: this by @pasi_sahlberg is v interesting for teachers https://t.co/vTd7KtVLAm #edchatie #edchat

I worry this is a soundbite move that speaks to a 'market' and ignores the realities of many schools (poor human/tech resourcing) #edchatie

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 4:06 PM EDT

Exactly. It's all soundbite. We are miles off being capable of implementing this. I'm sad to say, but it is true. #edchatie

I agree with everything you've said. Is there a link to this "Action Plan" apart from the blurb on the DES website? #edchatie

In reply to @PrimEdTeacher, @dlooney

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 4:13 PM EDT

My view is that people on the ground feel the same way because they KNOW teachers & know reality. I fear the Minister doesn't. #edchatie

PrimEdTeacher Jun 19 @ 4:14 PM EDT

.@seomraranga @dlooney Didn't see anything new today, I feel like this strategy is getting relaunched every week at the moment! #edchatie
