There is always a new new thing in technology. In contrast, in K-12, at the heart of the classroom is — and will be for the foreseeable future — the old old thing: curriculum. But, where is that curriculum, the fuel for the 1-to-1 classroom, going to come from? From the new new thing, of course – as we argue in this week’s blog post.

Teachers have known for decades that ‘summer learning loss’ is a reality. Studies vary on how much knowledge students lose during the summer months–some say up to two months of reading and math skills –and results are heavily-dependent upon demographics, but the loss is real. To prevent this, teachers try approaches such as summer book reports, but students complain they intrude on their summer time.

When you imagine a computer science class, you might imagine students at laptops learning how to write code. Perhaps that code will go into designing a website, or maybe it will be used to program a Raspberry Pi or a Sphero. But what you might not picture is a classroom discussion breaking down the code behind the code- the reasons why some stories are told and others are not, how headlines are written or what happens to your data when you click on a link.

In an age of technological advancement, it’s easy to feel obsolete. I feel confident that education will always be needed; but, occasionally I wonder if writing education has value in a computer-driven world.

Today, they would call me an introvert, but when I was a child, the label was “shy.”. I remember the challenges of wanting to demonstrate to my teacher that I was paying attention or mastering concepts but often felt intimidated by participating in class. The classroom was an overstimulating environment. The number of people and all that surrounded me was enough to hinder my thoughts, let alone the fact that I was expected to process and interact.

College challenged my thinking, but ironically my sharpened critical thinking made me question why I was even in college.
