Trippel Helix Conference on Computational Thinking and Digital Competences in Primary and Secondary Education - Swedsoft Recordings from the conference is available in this playlist. The conference focus was on how to prepare our students in primary and secondary school for their future. Both national and international speakers present on the theme computational thinking and digital competence. The background to the conference is the recent revisions to the curriculum for the compulsory school in Sweden where programming is now included from grade 1 and digital competence is emphasized much more. Keynote speakers: Jeannette Wing, Avanessians Director of the Data Science Institute, Professor of Computer Science, Columbia University – “Computational Thinking” Riina Vuorikari, Research Fellow, European Commission JRC IPTS – “DigComp: the European framework helping young people to gain digital competence”.

Teaching kids how to write computer programs, by Marshall Brain by Marshall Brain Quick Intro - If you are looking for a quick and easy way to teach your kid a real programming language, without downloading anything or buying anything, try these Python tutorials. Your kid will be writing and modifying code in just a few minutes. Marshall Brain's quick and easy Python tutorials Let's say that you have children, and you would like to help them learn computer programming at a youngish age. Let's start with a something important: Every kid is different. The second thing to realize is that real analytical skills often don't start appearing until age 11 or 12 or 13 in many kids, so expecting huge breakthroughs prior to that may be unrealistic. That being said, there are lots of fun things you can try as early as five or six... Games Let's start with a few games.

Tydligare om digital kompetens i läroplaner, kursplaner och ämnesplaner De nya skrivningarna ska bidra till att barn och elever utvecklar förståelse för hur digitaliseringen påverkar individen och samhället. De ska stärka elevernas förmåga att använda och förstå digitala system och tjänster, att förhålla sig till medier och information på ett kritiskt och ansvarsfullt sätt. Det handlar också om stärka förmågan att lösa problem och omsätta idéer i handling på ett kreativt sätt med hjälp av digitala verktyg. Förändringarna träder i kraft 1 juli 2018 men det är möjligt för skolorna att börja arbeta utifrån de reviderade styrdokumenten redan från 1 juli 2017.

Nobody Wants to Learn How to Program I frequently see a problem when people (especially techies) try to teach programming to someone (especially non-techies). Many programming tutorials begin with basic programming principles: variables, loops, data types. This is both an obvious way to teach programming and almost certainly a wrong way to teach programming. If you are teaching a class of adults who are paying with their own money for an education, then this is an appropriate and direct way to teach programming. But for the casually interested or schoolchildren with several activities competing for their attention, programming concepts like variables and loops and data types aren’t interesting in themselves. Here are my five pieces of advice to people who want to teach programming or create programming tutorials: 1. If you make the realization that nobody wants to learn how to program and jump past that trap, there’s a second brick wall on the other extreme you might hit: software creation kits. 2. 3. 4. 5. Enough said.

Programmering by Anne Li Dale on Prezi Kuato aims to teach kids programming through games Kuato Studios plans to use artificial intelligence and gaming technology to teach children how to program a computer. As such, it is the latest startup to try to “gamify,” or use game mechanics to foster interest in non-game applications, education. The company is creating a virtual game world for children and teens to explore. They can perform actions in the world by writing lines of computer code. A tutorial will walk them through the process so that even neophytes can learn programming, said Frank Meehan (pictured below, left), chief executive of London-based Kuato, in an interview with GamesBeat. The iPad game also does something pretty smart. “You’re learning code so you can survive,” Meehan said. Kuato has licensed its AI technology from SRI, the same research institute that created the AI technology behind Siri, which spun out of SRI International and was acquired by Apple for use it its iPhone. SRI owns an 18 percent stake in Kuato.

Microsoft MakeCode for micro:bit Låt Kalle Kodare lära små barn om HTML - Lilla gumman Jag tillhör, tyvärr, den gruppen av människor som inte kan kodning. Dessutom är det brist på nya kodare som kan föra utvecklingen framåt. Detta vill tre studenter vid den digitala medieskolan Hyper Island ändra på genom att skapa en barnbok som utbildar och roar. Jag har bläddrat igenom ett ex och även om boken riktar sig till barn mellan 3 – 8 år så känner jag mig träffad och upplärd. ”Näringslivet har redan stora svårigheter att hitta kunniga kodare. Alla tre upphovspersonerna är studenter inom programmet Digital Data Strategist vid Hyper Island i Stockholm. ”Vi vill slå hål på den efterhängsna myten om att det skulle vara så svårt och märkvärdigt att lära sig koda. Boken läses med fördel på surfplatta och heter ”Min Första Hemsida – Kalle Kodares guide till Internet”.
