Reading and research, by Terry Freedman

Book review round-up to 22 September 2019

September 25, 2019

Here is a set of links to the educational computing books I’ve reviewed up till 22 September 2019.

Incidentally, if you’re fed up with books you have to read, and would prefer an unreadable one with lots of tables to consult instead, then check out my latest opus. It’s called Computing and related qualifications, and is intended to make it quicker and easier for the Head of Computing in English schools to find a computing qualification that would suit some or even all of their students.

Here’s the link: Computing and related qualifications

History lesson, by Terry Freedman.jpg
Is The computing Curriculum Too Masculine? Revisited 16 years later!

One of the apparently insoluble problems of the age is how do you encourage more girls to take up Computing? I think a lot can be done, and have done so myself, but I wonder how far a lot of the effort fails to get to the heart of the issue, which could be the curriculum itself, the way it is taught, or a combination of the two?
