New ways of learningThe old ways are UNABLE TO KEEP UP
with the changing world
New media makes peer – to – peer learning easier and more natural
Peer to peer is amplified: the new media purports a COLLECTIVE nature of participation

Definition of LiteracyLiteracy can now be broadly defined as including all types of communication
interactions that involve speaking, reading, listening, and writing with text
both in print and non-print forms.
(Hagood, Stevens, & Reinking, 2002)

Three challenges in participatory competencies that need to be addressed in preparing youth for
full digital culture participation (Jenkins et. al. 2006)
Participation
Transparency
Ethics

Hewlett Foundation 2010
“In one survey after another, business leaders complain that the majority of U.S. job applicants are ill-equipped to solve complex problems, work in teams, or communicate effectively.”
“Hewlett envisions a new generation of schools and community colleges…harness the deeper learning skills of critical thinking, problem solving, effective communication, collaboration, and learning to learn to help students develop a strong foundation in traditional academic subjects.”

There is a generic set of skills and dispositions that are characteristic of
good learners. If learners can be taught a language for these, they can
get better at “learning to learn” across different contexts.

Bill Gates on the future of education,
programming
“ we are in the “golden age of computer science” thanks to the nearly limitless amounts
of power and storage at our fingertips.

the world of programming probably has to evolve if we’re going to accomplish some grander goals such as large, complex systems spanning entire industries.
There are more programmers and they’re better than they were 10 or 20 years ago, …. Things have changed, ….. but there’s still serious work to do on knowledge representation and logic representation….

John DeweyAmerican philosopher, psychologist, educational reformer
1859-1952
The teacher is not in the school to impose certain ideas or to form certain habits in the child ……. Thus the teacher becomes a partner in the learning process, guiding students to independently discover meaning within the subject area. (Dewey, 1897)

Piaget’s “Child”
A young scientist whose purpose is to find stasis in an ever changing world.Like a Robinson Crusoe: curious, inner-driven, independent, solitary conquest.Edith Ackerman, “Piaget’s Constructivism, Papert’s Constructionism: What’s the Difference?”

The way it wasSchool's hierarchical organization is
intimately tied to its view of education and in particular to its commitment to hierarchical

Alan Kayon children and computers
The reason, therefore, that many of us want children to understand computing deeply and fluently is that like literature, mathematics, science, music, and art, it carries special ways of thinking about situations that in contrast with other knowledge and other ways of thinking critically boost our ability to understand our world.

Douglas Rushkoff
“Understanding programming — either as a real programmer or even, as I’m suggesting, as more of a critical thinker — is the only
way to truly know what’s going on in a digital
environment, and to make willful choices about the
roles we play.”
![Page 113: Smalltalks2013 nov 1for ss](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052523/555aea84d8b42abe058b4953/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
“Programming is debugging. So being wrong is not so much something to
be avoided at all costs, but should be seen as a clue to the right way of
doing it. That's why it was actually an environment rather than just an
instructional program. “

Teaching and learningPiaget Papert
“dwelling in” and “stepping back” are equally important in getting such a cognitive dance going. How could people learn from their experience as long as they are totally immersed in it. ….. translate the experience into a …… model gains a life of its own, and description or a model can be addressed as if it were “not me.” From then on, a new cycle can begin, because as soon as the dialogue gets started (between me and my artifact), the stage is set for new and deeper connectedness and understanding.

Elite institutions, primarily US are widely engaging
Opportunities for brand enhancement, pedagogical experimentation, recruitment, and business opportunites
Pro-MOOC producing conspicuous literature and positive reports
Smaller or less presigious less engagement, perhaps due to lack of appetite, capacity, or opportunity

welcomes the shake-up and energy MOOCs bring to learning, teaching and assessment.
Report positively on access, empowerment, relationship building and community.
Skeptics
The MOOC format itself suffers from weaknesses around access, content, quality of learning, accreditation, pedagogy, poor engagement of weaker learners, exclusion of learners without specific networking skills.

Engagement reasons: brand extension, recruitment, educational innovation, and revenue opportunity or cost reduction
Learners mostly satisfied, not currently looking for awards
Impacts on HE will be profound and enduring
Disagreement over whether effects will be destructive or creative

ConnectivismNew Learning theory
Emphasizes how knowledge and skills emerge from making connections between different domains of activity such as experience, learning and knowledge, as well as between individuals in a social network.
Foregrounds learners’ exposure to social and cultural experiences, rather than their exposure to didactic transmission OR self-directed enquiry.

Coinciding with a rising tide of newcomer-welcoming efforts, there’s no question that enthusiasm for women doing web technology is growing.

Maria Klawe became president of Harvey Mudd College in 2006, she was dismayed — but not surprised — at how few women were majoring in
computer science.

How did she do it?CS 5, hard-core programming, appealing to young men, already
seasoned programmers--- dominated the class. reinforced the women’s sense that computer science was for geeky know-it-alls.
“Most of the female students were unwilling to go on in computer science because of the stereotypes they had grown up with,” “We realized we were helping perpetuate that by teaching such a standard course.”
To reduce intimidation factor, divided course into 2 sections: “gold,” for those with no prior experience, “black” for everyone else.
Java was replaced by Python.
Course focus changed to computational approaches to solving problems across science.

How to be a woman programmer by Ellen Ullman
The New York Times, May 18, 2013
The first requirement for programming is a passion for the work, a deep need to probe the mysterious space between human thoughts and what a machine can understand; between human desires and how machines might satisfy them.
The second requirement is a high tolerance for failure. Programming is the art of algorithm design and the craft of debugging errant code. In the words of the great John Backus, inventor of the Fortran programming language: “You need the willingness to fail all the time. You have to generate many ideas and then you have to work very hard only to discover that they don’t work. And you keep doing that over and over until you find one that does work.”

Over the 20 years that followed, I found that being a woman put me at one remove from the general society of programmers. I resented that distance, but I liked to think that it was in some way fortunate — that my standing back gave me a clearer view of our profession and its effects on society at large.
I looked around and wondered, “Where are all the other women?” We women found ourselves nearly alone, outsiders in a culture that was sometimes boyishly puerile, sometimes rigorously hierarchical, occasionally friendly and welcoming. This strange illness meanwhile left the female survivors with an odd glow that made them too visible, scrutinized too closely, held to higher standards. It placed upon them the terrible burden of being not only good but the best.

The question is how we react to this great prejudice against women. The rule of law and social activism certainly are crucial. But no matter how strong the social structure, there is always that cheek-slapped moment when you are alone with the anti-woman prejudice: the joke, the leer, the disregard, the invisibility, the inescapable fact that the moment you walk through the door you are seen as lesser, no matter what your credentials.””

How do we teach and learn programming?

Mathematics was a study in which we took order and analyzed it to
understand it.

With the computer revolution…
Mathematics ceased to be only ANALYTIC
And became SYNTHETIC

HowKnowledge is constructed
through the active engagement of a learner
within an active community of practice
![Page 152: Smalltalks2013 nov 1for ss](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052523/555aea84d8b42abe058b4953/html5/thumbnails/152.jpg)
For those of you who aspire to understand technology — and if you’re reading this then that’s most of you — there’s no better way to do that then to build things. …..
those of you who do not aspire to make things for a living will come away with a more critical understanding of the way the world works…….
as a programmer you learn to think about problems both objectively and by taking into account all outcomes. There are only positive outcomes that can come from learning a new skill, and programming is the skill of our future.

Constructivism is the idea that knowledge is something you build in
your head.
Constructionism reminds us that the best way to do that is to build
something tangible—outside of your head—that is personally meaningful.
(Papert, 1990)
![Page 154: Smalltalks2013 nov 1for ss](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052523/555aea84d8b42abe058b4953/html5/thumbnails/154.jpg)
If you can use technology to make things you can make a lot more interesting things.
And you can learn a lot more by making them.
(Papert, 1999)

Constructionism is not a spectator sport
