ABSTRACT
I wrote this series to try to help address the tremendous changes happening in education as it attempts to incorporate coding into the standard curriculum. It is important that we recognize these challenges, and opportunities, and look at the broad picture before we get caught up in the fine details of an applied skill. While every era within memory has had educators struggle to adapt to new technology and changes in society, the rate and scale of change we face today is unparalleled. It is natural that educators feel overwhelmed or lost in the turmoil. The hope is that this series can offer not only theory and explanation of why these changes are necessary but also practical steps to tackle the challenge. My objective is to give some view to the future, the goals, the purpose that we are reaching for as a society, but also the grounding in applied skills that you will use to build a practice around that can help you transform your classroom into a training ground for world changers.
