Inquiry based learning connecting with the vision of computer science

"...it is just as necessary that computer science be included as a core subject for each and every student, grades K–12. Computer science core concepts and practices prepare each and every student for college and career, even if they do not pursue a computer science degree or occupation."

Computer science is as fundamental as reading. To prepare our students for the future, we need to view it as a foundational literacy for creating solutions to real world problems.

Just because today's learners are digital natives, it doesn't mean they truly understand the fundamentals and core concepts of computing and, especially, computer science. If they can't grasp these core concepts, they will be left behind in an increasingly digitally connected and driven global society.

While 90 percent of U.S. parents want their child to learn computer science, there is a disconnect from school administrators. Only 7 percent of principals say there is a high demand for computer science among parents (Google & Gallup, 2015)

"Equity in computer science education does not equate to preparing all students to major in computer science at the post-secondary level or to pursue careers in software engineering or other areas of computing technologies. Rather, computer science education for all ensures each and every student develops foundational conceptual knowledge and proficiency in computer science practices to provide the skills to responsibly and productively participate in a world in which digital technologies are broadly integrated."

This idea seems limiting to the potential progress and Empowered Learner opportunities. How do you see this as a potentially important option? How long will it sustain students learning of CS without devices? Just curious what others think. (P. 8)

"It’s crucial difference from the present order consists naturally in production organized on the basis of common ownership by the nation of all means of production. To begin this reorganization tomorrow, but performing it gradually, seems to me quite feasible. That our workers are capable of it is borne out by their many producer and consumer cooperatives which, whenever they’re not deliberately ruined by the police, are equally well and far more honestly run than the bourgeois stock companies." - Karl Marx
Thus when those without economic power begin controlling the means of production (in this case not labor, but the skill to complete labor), they wrest control of the surplus value from the oligarch class.

Rich rigor is good classrooms that include inquiry, equity, authentic tasks, and culturally relevant instruction!  This will ensure students develop the 4 c's and ready for the 21st century. immersion - consistent- is the key to systemic change.
