Digital Education Holiday Reading

December 19, 2016

In the last issue of the Digital Education newsletter before the Christmas break, there is plenty to read about computing in education. I have always found that the time away from school affords an opportunity to catch up on reading around the subject, as well as lesson preparation, marking and, of course, having a well-deserved rest.

The topics covered include how nudge theory can be applied in the classroom, Brexit and education technology, activities undertaken during Computer Education Week, how to solve cryptic crosswords (and some links to articles showing why they are relevant to computing), a debate on how artificial intelligence is affecting all aspects of our lives, jobs that no longer exist because of advances in technology, and lots more.

The newsletter is free, in exchange for your name and email address. You won't be spammed. A double opt-in system is in effect, meaning that you will be asked to confirm your wish to subscribe. The newsletter has been going for nearly 17 years, and has thousands of subscribers from all over the world, all of whom have in common an interest in educational ICT and computing.

Subscribe now to gain access to the 'holiday reading' newsletter and other past issues, by completing the form below.

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?
