Want to Know the Best Digital Music Distribution Company? I sat down with reps at 8 different digital distribution companies, CD Baby, DistroKid, Ditto Music, Loudr, Mondotunes, ReverbNation, Symphonic, Tunecore and Zimbalam, to get a full in-depth look at each company and for the reps to explain to me their company’s best features (that I may have missed scanning their FAQ).

Cyber security lessons offered to schools in England.
Image copyright Thinkstock Schoolchildren in England will be offered lessons in cyber security in a bid to find the experts of the future to defend the UK from attacks.
It is hoped 5,700 pupils aged 14 and over will spend up to four hours a week on the subject in a five-year pilot. Classroom and online teaching, "real-world challenges" and work experience will be made available from September. A Commons committee last week warned that a skills shortage was undermining confidence in the UK's cyber defences. The risk that criminals or foreign powers might hack into critical UK computer systems is now ranked as one of the top four threats to national security. 'Cutting-edge skills' Russia in particular is suspected of planning sustained attacks on Western targets.
Cyber security is a fast-growing industry, employing 58,000 experts, the government says, but the Public Accounts Committee has warned it is proving difficult to recruit people with the right skills.

The breakthrough involves the grandfather paradox – that favourite plaything of philosophers where somebody travels into the past and kills their own grandfather, preventing the existence of one of their parents, and therefore their own. The MOOC has landed! – teachcomputing.wordpress.com. A few months ago, I published a post titled Proposal for a GCSE Computing MOOC in which I described an idea I was considering to support other teachers with the teaching of GCSE Computer Science.
Well, the good news is it’s now ready for use at – The problem: I taught GCSE Computing over a five year period and, like many other teachers of the subject, experienced the following challenges when teaching the theory part of the course: If that’s not gloomy enough, I wrote about some of the additional challenges facing Computing teachers in “Challenges of Teaching GCSE Computer Science“. Why You Need to Know More Than Coding to Master Computer Science. Picking up a book, taking an online course or enrolling in a boot camp to learn a programming language might seem like the best way to get started.
It is true, learning a programming language is a very important part of starting your journey as a software developer and coder, but it is only part of the equation. The field of computer science isn’t just about loops and semicolons.
Expand Your Brain. Welcome. What’s the Difference Between Coding and Computational Thinking? In my last EdSurge article, “Computer Science Goes Beyond Coding,” I wrote about the difference between coding and computer science, to help us understand what we mean by phrases like “Teach kids to code” and “Computer science for all.”
In that article and in many other articles, there is another term that appears often: “Computational thinking.” Well, what is Computational Thinking (CT), and how does it differ from Coding and Computer Science—especially when it comes to classroom practice and instruction? What is Computational Thinking (CT)? My short definition: CT is a strategy that uses many of the powerful ideas in computer science to solve problems.
