What Have We Created? 50 Plus Years of Creative Computing!
Meet Dr. Gary Stager and his important work!
I am so excited to have Dr. Gary Stager speak with me on Thursday, July 14th at 12:00 PM for my weekly Hart to Heart. Gary recently published a very exciting book: Twenty Things to Do with a Computer Forward 50: Future Visions of Education Inspired by Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon’s Seminal Work. Please join me this Thursday, July 14th at 12:00 pm to meet Gary and learn about his book.
Twenty Things to Do with a Computer Forward 50 can inspire parents, educators, and aspiring teachers to make the world a better place for learning. In 1971, Solomon and Papert predicted 1:1 personal computing, the maker movement, the rise of computational thinking, children programming computers, robotic construction kits, computer science for all, and integrating computing across the curriculum. Gary's book situated the ideals of progressive education in a modern context. Papert and Solomon demonstrated how computing could be creative, humane, whimsical, childlike, and a way to learn “everything else,” even ideas on the frontier of mathematics and science. Fifty years later, we are still striving toward these ideals. Join us!
