Steven Wolfman and Will Byrd host a podcast series called the “CS Education Zoo.” I was just interviewed on it yesterday. Will couldn’t make it, but Dutch Meyer filled in. We covered a lot of ground, from livecoding music to HyperCard to the importance of having even low-quality CS education in schools to Parsons’s Problems to ebooks and MOOCs, to how to address student misconceptions in class. I had great fun and appreciate their invitation to join in!
