Computer Coding Lessons Expanding for K12 students
Summary:
South Hills High School teacher, Saleta Thomas, talks about her computer game design class. This class is used to draw students in through the attraction of computer game design. Students can follow it with a more traditional computer science class. Once in college, students will realize that computer science has a lot of options for interesting work and well paying jobs.
"If we get the hook into them through gaming, then when they go to college they can see there's a whole lot more offered in computer science," Thomas says. "If you major in computer science, your world is really open."
This article is relevant to me because I also use computer game design as a motivator in my classes.
