Social discussion of CS in K-12

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

Shifters. I will be at the Blind Pig on Walnut (Big Pig) at 6:30 PM as usual tonight.

 

Kenwood teachers and kids were GREAT last night at the Unit 4 School Board meeting!

 

The Coalition of Essential Schools conference was terrific and I look forward to talking about it with you all. From my perspective, some particularly important aspects of the conference were:

1.       A great edcamp experience

2.       A very strong professional development group in Colorado that we might want to connect with when we are at ISTE this summer.

3.       A great panel on how some charters and public schools should be allies.

4.       A Code.org rep was talking about AppLab.

5.       I met a teacher who had used Bootcamp, but was not particularly enthused.

6.       Deborah Meier dropped by our roundtable session, and we talked for a quite some time. J

 

See you all this evening.
