Social discussion of CS in K-12

["Reese, George Clifford" <reese AT illinois.edu>]

Friends,

 

The weather report indicates that it will be clear and 50s this evening. Almost, but not quite warm enough to be outside, I think.

So, let’s meet this evening at the Blind Pig on Walnut at 7 PM. A bit late this time because there is a Unit 4 School Board Candidate Forum at 5 – 7 PM at

IBEW 601 Hall

3301 Boardwalk Dr

Champaign

(Off of North Prospect, past the Carmike Theater)

 

I intend to go to that, so may be a bit late to the Blind Pig

 

Other things to talk about:

1.       Lots of discussion about  Paulo Freire, Ivan Illich, Myles Horton, and now Cecelia Tichi’s “Civic Passions”. There should be course credit associated with CTRL-Shift meetings. J

2.       Upward Bound. Can we participate? I’ll share info that I have from Sherrika Ellison

3.       Perhaps Jeff, Lisa, and/or Martin will want to talk about the discussion with Kathy Brown discussing Peoria Programming?

4.       Joe has been working with Travis and Lenny on the CS part of the Science Olympiad. Looking forward to hearing about that.

5.       Maya is leading the STEM+C proposal submissions. Deadlines approach.

6.       We should publish the Kenwood Collaborative Framework on the CTRL-Shift site, and perhaps write something more about it for print.

 

See you this evening,

George
