Gamestar Mechanic ESA LOFT Innovation | Home 15+ great resources for introducing coding to the classroom By Kelly Maher September 4th, 2015 Must-try apps, games, and tutorials for learners of every age “Computer science is a liberal art, it’s something that everyone should be exposed to, everybody should have a mastery of to some extent.”—Steve Jobs As the world continues to become more and more digital, the number of computer science jobs in this country is rising three times faster than the number of computer science graduates. This has led to the development of many new and exciting programs and tools for students. What sets this app apart from all the other tools is that PixelPress integrates the physical world with the digital world. Other coding resources for younger students Code Studio offers a 20 hour-long coding course for elementary school students.Scratch is a free programming language, developed at the MIT Media Lab.

Why Kids Should Make the Video Games They Love to Play When educator Lynn Koresh hears from kids that they want a career doing something with computers, she asks, “To do what with computers?” Adults often encourage kids to pursue science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills, and computing classes are usually a first stop. But Koresh knows it’s the real-world applications of computational thinking and coding language skills that bring such knowledge to life. She reasoned that most middle school students are already playing video games and might respond well to a unit on how to design, create, test and promote video games. “I wanted to give kids exposure to what it means to have a career using computers,” said Koresh, technology coordinator at Edgewood Campus School in Madison, Wisconsin. She gave students the task of designing a game using Gamestar Mechanic. As students develop their games, they test them on one another throughout the semester. “You have to get specific enough so they don’t say, ‘It’s good, I liked it.’ Ki Sung
Three million open jobs in U.S., but who's qualified? The following script is from "Three Million Open Jobs" which aired on Nov. 11, 2012. Byron Pitts is the correspondent. David Schneider, producer. The balance of power in Washington didn't change this week as President Obama and most members of Congress kept their jobs. They'll go back to work and face an unemployment problem that also hasn't changed very much. It's called "the skills gap." Karl Hutter: Yeah, we hear way too much about the United States manufacturing, we don't manufacture anything anymore. Byron Pitts: Sure, it's Mexico, it's in China-- Karl Hutter: Yeah, yeah, that all went to China, that all went to Mexico. Karl Hutter is the new chief operating officer of Click Bond in Carson City, Nev., a company his parents started in 1969. Karl Hutter: We're still technically a small business, but we're growing quickly. Byron Pitts: So, you're hiring? Karl Hutter: We are hiring. Ryan Costella is head of Strategic Initiatives at Click Bond. Byron Pitts: Sure.
Making Games: The Ultimate Project-Based Learning | The MindShift Guide to Digital Games and Learning Part 6 of MindShift’s Guide to Games and Learning. As game-based learning increases in popularity, it’s easy to get pigeon-holed into one particular way of thinking about it or one way of employing it. This is true regardless of how teachers feel about gaming in the classroom, whether they’re for or against it. One common objection to game-based learning is that students will sit in front of screens being taught at. Sure, games are interactive, but on some level, don’t they still just replace the sage on the stage with the sage on the screen? Does a joystick really change the nature of pedagogy? In previous posts in this series, I’ve argued that because games involve systems thinking, they contextualize learning. “Games are just simulators with an internal incentive structure (often dopamine based). However, virtual simulations of hands-on experience are not the same as tangibly engaging with the world. Fortunately, few people are calling for games to replace school as we know it.
