Interesting perspective - great to see that CT can be associated with learning areas other than STEM.

Computational Thinking (CT) is "the thought processes involved in understanding a problem and expressing its solutions in such a way that a computer can potentially carry out the solution."
Toys such as the recently Kickstarted Turing Tumble do just this: introduce kids to the notion of algorithms. It's a very powerful field of studies for kids and grown-ups alike, because it helps understanding what's behind the curtains when it comes to computation. It teaches how to divide a big problem into bunch of smaller ones that are easier to solve - and this is a solid skill to own.

Multiple representations of computational thinking may encourage those with math anxiety to make connections between the processes to how they see and solve the world. Not one right way to see and solve even though there may be one right answer.

So you want to do content marketing – and in a big way. This isn’t going to be a tentative test. You’re making an aggressive, committed, all-in push to create and engage an audience for the long-term.

Jack Ma is optimistic about jobs in the age of AI and automation — but only if we start educating our children differently. Computers will always be better at calculating than we will, so we need to focus on service and creativity to be prepared.
ADAPTATION WILL CREATE JOBSMa’s not alone in this thinking; many experts feel that the way we currently teach children is ineffective, outdated,won’t prepare them for automation or STEM jobs, and renders higher learning inaccessible to too many. But when it comes to AI, Ma joins a debate that’s much more polarizing, with experts taking positions across the spectrum of opinion.

If you work in social media, explaining your job can be a frustrating experience - especially to family members who probably assume that you just use Facebook all day.

This is great article, so relevant to what we have been learning in our Digital Learning and Teaching unit. I was pleased to note that I have been using a number of the 15 strategies listed here when I've been on prac so it is good to see some formal consolidation! There's some new things here just the same - like Live Tiles - that would be great to try and transform the classroom learning experiences. One of my favourites listed here? Number 5, using handwritten notes to reinforce and embed learning. Sometimes 'old school' is worth remembering.

Fantastic list of strategies that make it seem easy to get the most out of digital learning. Definitely keeping this for the future.

Technology has changed not only the how we work, but also has included some new skills in the world. It means that an adult will learn a new world wide movement that could be difficult. Therefore, it will be the responsibility off any facilitator to orientate adults in the processes of acquiring the new skills required by the technological world.
There are 3 aspects that the authors of this article deals with: 1) Every day more companies have been being moved by the technology, and many of adults have been outside of this progress by the lack of education. 2) Nowadays many universities are implemented programs or courses of science and technology for adults. 3) Several universities have been implemented ways of carrying education for any adult. It means that they rare trying to facilitate the education access and advantage for adults. As facilitators, we must guide the adult learner during the process of new technology and new skills to provide them opportunities of being part of the new technological society

Have you heard of something called cyber hygiene? Surely, brushing your teeth and taking showers isn’t something traditionally associated with technology — yet the term is a useful metaphor for needing to make smart decisions about your smart devices.

In his book The Global Achievement Gap, Wagner identifies seven core competencies every child needs in order to survive in the coming world of work. 1. Critical thinking and problem-solving 2. Collaboration across networks and leading by influence 3. Agility and adaptability 4. Initiative and entrepreneurialism 5. Effective oral and written communication 6. Accessing and analysing information 7. Curiosity and imagination

Education may be the passport to the future, but for all the good teaching out there, it would seem that schools are failing to impart some of the most important life skills, according to one educational expert.
2. Collaboration across networks and leading by influence
3. Agility and adaptability
4. Initiative and entrepreneurialism
5. Effective oral and written communication
6. Accessing and analysing information

New measures to boost key competences and digital skills, as well as the European dimension of education
1. A Council Recommendation on Key Competences for Lifelong Learning: Building on the Recommendation on Key Competences adopted in 2006, this proposal brings forward important updates reflecting the rapid evolution of teaching and learning since then. It aims to improve the development of key competences of people of all ages throughout their lives and to provide guidance to Member States on how to achieve this objective. A particular focus is placed on promoting entrepreneurial drive and innovation-oriented mindsets in order to unlock personal potential, creativity and self-initiative. Moreover, the Commission is recommending steps to foster competences in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and motivate more young people to embark on a career in these fields. The proposals made today should also be seen as part of the answer to urgently improve European education systems to face the many challenges highlighted in the latest PISA survey. More generally, the measures will support Member States in better preparing learners for changing labour markets and for active citizenship in more diverse, mobile, digital and global societies.
2. A Digital Education Action Plan that outlines how the EU can help people, educational institutions and education systems better adapt to life and work in an age of rapid digital change by:
Initiatives include supporting schools with high-speed broadband connections, scaling up a new self-assessment tool for schools on the use of technology for teaching and learning (SELFIE) and a public awareness campaign on online safety, media literacy and cyber hygiene.
3. A Council Recommendation on common values, inclusive education and the European dimension of teaching: This initiative proposes ways in which education can help young people understand the importance of and adhere to common values set out in Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union. It aims at strengthening social cohesion and contributing to fight the rise of populism, xenophobia, divisive nationalism and the spreading of fake news. The proposal also strengthens inclusive education to promote quality education for all pupils as well as the European dimension of teaching, so children also learn about Europe's common heritage and diversity and get a good understanding of the functioning of the EU. To support these aims, the Commission will take steps to increase virtual exchanges among schools, notably through the successful e-Twinning network, and boost school mobility through the Erasmus+ programme.
