1. A kiosk/portfolio that can gather multiple user’s projects to be played, viewed, shared from a URL

2. Easier tutorial authoring for educators

3. Ability to open and expand images from the instructions

4. More thorough descriptions and difficulty levels displayed on the tutorial/skillmap homepage

Twitter is dead. R.I.P.

I would want 2. I feel compelled to create my own curriculum because my kids are just not getting it and I am losing engagement. So 2 would be great.

In the other category I would be looking for editing/debugging tools just for teachers to use when needed to get the kids back on track fast. Your basic IDE stuff. All callers of… All references to… Definition of… When scope goes off the rails it takes a lot of time to fix. When the kids have a forgotten forever block buried under other code or way off the screen. That can take time. You could say just switch to TypeScript. That has its own issues.

Coincidentally, I have your book. I am trying to get to the Holy Grail of Computer Science education: Computation Thinking. So far it has eluded me.

Ah, buzzwords are so much fun! Computational thinking has less emphasis now, although the skills required to break big problems apart and solve the individual pieces before putting everything back together again will never go out of style.

I’ve taught lots of different ages in my career, and sometimes, it’s hard to get them just to engage in the “thinking” part!

Wait. What?!!!

The Holy Grail is deprecated? Has anyone bothered to tell Galahad?

This is my seventh year with teenagers so that spans the pandemic. I have come to believe you have to sneak up on them and teach them something before they realize it. So doubling down on easy tutorial creation.
