"I think that coding should be required in every public school in the world... Creativity is the goal" - Tim Cook. cnbc.com/2017/10/12/app…

Important note: The official @codeorg position is that Computer Science is not a language, nor a substitute for one in K-12 education.

@codeorg Funny. This was't #Google 's discourse during their 2 day preach in @EmmanuelMacron 's home town #Amiens this week end. #France #edu #code

@codeorg but first each child need to know the #definition to the word #fortitude #Our founding fathers had that long before #freedom #liberty #hope.

@codeorg @thinkxsoftware I remember fortran4. LOL! Showing my age. We used cards then & fed them to be read.

@codeorg Your leader was way ahead of you.

@codeorg @randbits Creativity IS the goal. I don’t like how some schools are cutting music and art to make room for computers though.

@codeorg @davidmbloom I would add another comment here, learn to conserve water and grow edible food that is the only future we have. #BeTheRegenerativeSolution

@codeorg You have to pay CS teachers more than English, or you will never have enough coders willing to teach. Simple supply and demand...

@codeorg @mberry Unfortunately too many teachers proud they "don't get computers", desperate lack of CS teachers doesn't help. Educate teachers!

@codeorg If you are going to learn to code.Then you have to understand and read in english.Translate app it's not enough.

@codeorg But it's hard.

@codeorg Some geniuses don't understand English is the road & coding is the vehicle Can't compare apples & oranges but they do as they hv IPR of one

@codeorg @snystrom Abolutely!

@codeorg We do Tim, kids love it, are engaged and this enthusiasm can then be channelled to other areas of the curriculum as links are made.

@codeorg And self defence classes also

@codeorg First show the disengaged dropouts how to code and let them show the kids. Too difficult & insulting turning teachers by mandatory means.

@codeorg For whom ?
