Are we illiterate?
It's official. Coding is now a literacy skill. At least that's what the folks at Ed Week are suggesting. They have highlighted resources from MIT that allow families to learn computer coding skills together. The amazing thing to note is that important leaders in the Ed community have begun to see technology as a fundamental literacy, not just a "special," not an add-on and not an elective.
It's a success skill that we need to give our kids. Way to go, Ed Week. While our schools have not yet caught up, there are still places to learn tech and coding skills. Code.org is a great resource. My project, Tech EdVentures, is of course the local favorite! Allen
