Hack Your Education

This past weekend, our school was visited by Steve Hargadon and David Warlick, two gentleman with very interesting ideas about the future of education.  I spent a wonderful Saturday engaged in thought-provoking dialog about current teaching practices, both at our school and elsewhere.  One of Steve's main points was he felt students today needed to have a positive digital footprint.  This could take the form of a blog or online portfolio of their work.  As teachers, Steve felt it was our job to not only encourage this practice, but to model it as well.

Hence this site.  I teach one class, an introduction to computer programming.  My hope is that this site can serve as a collection of resources for individuals learning to program as well as a place to record my thoughts about programming and education in general and share what I have learned.   Perhaps it will inspire a student to create their own site someday.
