Hello World 27 out now: Integrated computer science

Post Syndicated from Meg Wang original https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/hello-world-27-out-now-integrated-computer-science/

While in some countries, such as England, computing is taught as a standalone subject, in others, like the USA, computing concepts are integrated across the school curriculum. In our brand-new issue of Hello World, out today for free, educators share ways to integrate computer science into your classroom.

Integrating CS to broaden participation

The argument for making computing and computer science (CS) standalone has often been about quality. We’ve heard educators say that teaching CS as part of other subjects can be hard, especially if you don’t have a CS background. On the other hand, integrating computer science into other subjects can offer a more accessible entry point for young people, broadening participation in CS education. And the critical thinking and problem-solving skills young people gain through computer science can enhance their learning of any subject. 

As digital technology increasingly shapes our world, it may be that thoughtful cross-curricular CS education is the most effective way to empower all young people to become confident and critical technology users.

Issue 27 of Hello World features a range of practical articles with ideas for integrating CS over a variety of subjects at the primary, elementary, and high-school levels.

For example:

  • James Abela shares how to teach coding across the curriculum using OctoStudio and the concepts of sequence, selection, and repetition
  • Jesualdo Martínez Molina presents hands-on examples of weaving together cross-curricular and modern foreign languages in the primary classroom
  • Jane Waite introduces the Autonomy framework, which explores whether we can effectively teach two things at once

Also in this issue:

  • Laurie Gale introduces PRIMMDebug, a new way to teach debugging
  • Teresa Harris Boag defines strategies for a whole-school approach to artificial intelligence (AI) to engage parents and school staff in developing an effective AI strategy
  • Tiffany Jones shares how she ensures that students can see themselves in tech

And much, much more.

Jake Baskin, Executive Director of the Computer Science Teachers Association, says in this issue of Hello World: “If you’re a teacher who is implementing CS principles in your classroom, you are a computer science teacher.”

Whether CS is your specialist subject or not, Hello World is full of ideas from your fellow educators on how to inspire your students.
