Q1 by EdTechMuse https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x Reflect on your own biases and assumptions about computer science. (Example - "You have to be a math genius to code") Did any of these change as you have gone through this workshop?

When I was sitting in my first web development class, it was all men in the class and I was the only women. I thought to myself that I could not do this. Now I'm a Freelance Web Developer!! :-) ]]> 2016-09-24 17:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126174932 Jennifer B. -Dodson jbagatta https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126174999 I assumed to be in computer science you had to have higher math (calculus, trig, etc.) and that is not the case. If a Kindergarten student can do this - so can I.]]> 2016-09-24 17:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126174999 Computer science had to do with being able to type, speed typing, computer programs such as Word, ect. https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126175238 2016-09-24 17:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126175238 Daniel Collazo https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183067 From my point of view, Computer Science is being assumed "complicate" because it was never related with routines/daily things that can be understood with coding. A simple activity of how our feets go ahead/left/right/back, it is good for introducing coding with something that really involves them. ]]> 2016-09-24 21:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183067 Audra H- https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183218 Until I became an ETS I thought Computer Science started in High School. Now I know this should start as early as Kinder.

I know I have said in the past, "If you are good at math, you should look into computer science..." https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183240 2016-09-24 21:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183240 I thought there were too many people going into that field and it was super competitive...  Now I realize there is a great need for computer science jobs that are going unfilled... https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183342 2016-09-24 21:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183342 Bias https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183371 Computer science is a job/occupation not overall skills for everyone.]]> 2016-09-24 21:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/dblbngd0ob3x/wish/126183371
