  technology education media_literacy programming curriculum article commentary

  • I believe the single skill that will, above all others, distinguish a literate person is programming
    literacy, the ability to make digital technology do whatever, within the possible
    one wants it to do -- to bend digital technology
    to one's needs, purposes, and will, just as in
    the present we bend words and images.
  • Remember, only a few centuries ago, reading
    and writing were confined to a small specialist
    class whose members we called scribes.
  • 3 more annotations...
  • • Will the need for a
      separate scribe tribe of programmers continue
      through the twenty-first century, or will the
      skill set of an educated person soon include
      programming fluency?
    • Today's
      kids are such good programmers that parents
      who buy expensive high tech gadgets, such as
      camcorders or home theaters, often hand them
      to their children to set up (program) for them.
    • Most of us have problems a computer or
      another digital machine could easily solve for
      us, if only we conceived them as programming
      problems

  I dunno. Clearly participation is part of emerging literacy and programming is one specialized dialect that encompasses that. We need more Papert and less Ballmer here...
