Sam Donovan on 15 Feb 12

This talk addresses a wide range of issues in computer science education. The primary argument is that there are a set of skills that transcend the discipline and should be part of everyones skill set. I see lots of parallels with data literacy. Presented by Mark Guzdial, a professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology.

This is an interesting look at how representations can influence perception. The claim is that by making it easy to move from a structurally accurate model to an intermediate level of abstraction viewers can more easily make quantitative comparisons.
