Crossing the Software Education Chasm | May 2012 By Armando Fox, David Patterson Communications of the ACM, Vol. 55 No. 5, Pages 44-49 10.1145/2160718.2160732 Comments (6) Via a remarkable alignment of technologies, the future of software has been revolutionized in a way that also makes it easier to teach. Cloud computing and the shift in the software industrya toward Software as a Serviceb (SaaS) using Agile development has led to tools and techniques that are a much better match to the classroom than earlier software development methods. In addition, modern programming frameworks for Agile development like Ruby on Rails demonstrate that big ideas in programming languages can deliver productivity through extensive software reuse. We can leverage such productivity to allow students to experience the whole software life cycle repeatedly within a single college course, which addresses many criticisms from industry about software education.

Stanford Professors Daphne Koller & Andrew Ng Also Launching a Massive Online Learning Startup These are interesting times to be a Stanford professor. Or to stop being a Stanford professor, as the case may be... Last week, news broke that Professor Sebastian Thrun would be stepping down from teaching at Stanford to launch an online learning company called Udacity. Udacity is an outgrowth of his incredibly popular Artificial Intelligence class offered through Stanford last fall. Now it appears that two other Stanford professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng (Ng taught last term's massive Machine Learning class) have started their own company, Coursera, one that offers a very similar service as Thrun's. According to the startup's jobs page, the two are "following up on the success of these courses to scale up online education efforts to provide a high quality education to the world. But rather than leaving the university and the professoriate entirely, it appears as though Koller and Ng are working with universities to extend their reach online.
common core resources /mathematical content standards /standards by grade /6th grade / Problems of the Month: Non-routine problems designed to be used schoolwide to promote a problem-solving theme. Each problem is divided into five levels of difficulty, Level A (primary) through Level E (high school). The problems are aligned to the Common Core standards. Performance assessment tasks: Grade-level formative performance assessment tasks with accompanying scoring rubrics and discussion of student work samples. Classroom videos: Videos of public lessons and number talks, most based on performance assessment tasks, that have been extensively field-tested in multiple settings and refined over time. Dana Center early mathematics tasks: A series of instructional tasks, aligned with the Common Core standards, that teachers can use to instruct grades pre-K through grade 2. Formative re-engaging lessons: Videos of a classroom lesson involving re-engagement around a mathematical concept following a cycle of inquiry, instruction, assessment, analysis, and selection.
