Reminder from @AmberOliver11 at #ToCodeandBeyond: every time we introduce a new technology, we see even greater equity gaps in education. Even 8 years into NYCβs @CSforAllNYC initiative, just 1 in 3 NYC schools offer computer science education. #csforall
All the ALLs at #ToCodeandBeyond @lsudol talked about the implications of abundance in #CSEd and the tradeoffs. Piwe panel brought together by @diane_levitt β at Manhattan, NY
"[ChatGPT] is a tool. Every tool can be used in some situations and should not be used in others." @marisakaryn23 wants her students to think critically about AI and figure out how to use it responsibly. Chat with @natashanyt at #ToCodeandBeyond β at Roosevelt Island, Manhattan

βIn 2018, I realized that the @csteachersorg standards had only two sentences about AI. I went to my dept chair and said, this is a problem, we should do something about it. And he said, youβre right. YOU should do something about it.β @DaveTouretzky #ToCodeandBeyond β at Roosevelt Island, Manhattan
Thank you for sharing. I taught a class during an episode of severe vertigo this semester. I sat in a chair at the front of the room with my hands on the desk to avoid tipping over. Facilitated student-driven small groups for 2 hrs like that.

Please let me know what you think after you read it. I love getting feedback! I've been having students work through the book using @Replit lately and use my team for education to monitor & assist them.
I'll send you a copy if you want to check mine out. It's Python, but also uses strategies from educational psychology and evidence - based pedagogies. #csforall #accessibility #learningscience
