I found myself listening to this broadcast on ABC Radio National recently. It details some of the issues many of us are grappling with in the classrooms - one to one; management etc.
The second half of the broadcast explores whether we are disempowering students when we don't teach them the computer coding we once did. With all the pull-downs, icons, wysiwyg editors that hide the programing - do users understand how things work?
Another interesting piece was Sydney University's program for introducing/energising/mentoring female high school students into the world of computer science and the breadth that such study can give you.
Well worth a listen if you have 20 minutes or so.
