What & Why of Coding In Schools?

The module encapsulates ideas and strategies of how to explore coding in schools to encapsulate Quality Learning. Coding puts children in control of the computer and through experimentation builds mastery in sequencing skills, counting, problem solving, logical thinking, cause and effect, and critical thinking.

We just can’t actually think and re-discover the chalk board and make it a smart board to deliver knowledge. What is required is a novel mindset of love, care and delivery of priorities for our children within classrooms. We ultimately need a different paradigm for teaching, a different pedagogy which talks about creation, control of chaos, connect to correcting and above all consumption to creation. The teachers need to change their thinking of how they are going to use technology in education.

For sure, we are living in a world of change, There are ample tweets each minute, ample Facebook page views each minute. The academic Donald Norman describes skeuomorphism in terms of cultural constraints: interactions with a system that are learned only through culture. The term which intensifies the tech world with pride. The world has only been used in the tech industry for a few years, where its meaning has changed, says Dan O’Hara, an academic at Birmingham City University. “Skeumorphs are not strictly something that can be designed,” he says. “They occur unintentionally when aesthetic styles are inherited without thinking.” The photo views of Flickr which mounts to n’ undefined, explores the universal learning of repute. With each minute of over 47,000 app downloads on the apple store encapsulates a new phase of dimensional learning taking place out of the hunger for knowledge

The module very well re-visits on the narration in a manner for the educators in particular.
