    Pros and Cons of counting coding as a foreign language.

    I am totally against this because it is NOT the same thing at all! It's called a programming language only because you can do the same operation using different "words" based on which "language" you are coding in. The thought process is NOT the same. You don't have to memorize (although some of it does stick), you don't converse in it, you don't learn about other cultures. It just is not at all the same skill set. What I DO believe, however, is that perhaps not ALL students need to have 3 years of a foreign language. (or math, or science, or humanities) There is so much out there to learn. I believe that those students who can see a clear path, should be encouraged to study those things that will help them to get there. So if some states allow substituting coding for foreign language, but not for any other subject, I think it's very wrong!

    You are getting a jump on our discussions for next year. My concern is - because there is so much to learn we keep adding to our program, but have not let much go. What is essential or what skills and content will our girls need for productive, ethical, and fulfilling futures?

    Beth, I agree that coding seems like it should fall more within the math/science realm, if it must be forced into an existing category. And I also agree with Helen that we do keep adding to our program (and our school day, compared to when I first started at Sem), but we have not let much go. It's time to evaluate what's essential in 21st century education and what our priorities are. Time to create more flexibility and more pathways to a diploma. (I believe I mentioned some alternatives to you and Jody a few years ago.) Looking forward to having discussions about this next year!

    I found this and thought that many of you might be interested in it.  When I had Wennie in my class, she used the Silk Road as the background for storytelling in Arts Eye.  And the coolest thing?  This exhibit isn't far from us!

    This article helps to explain the average searchers approach to Internet research. I disagree however, with his comment about not using the advanced search. As educators we should be teaching the advanced search and its benefits as well as, using it-- not waiting for the basic search to "be improved".

    Early school start times could also negatively affect sleep-deprived teachers' health and performance. I am all for a later start time!
