Interview with Sue Sentance on Computing Education Research: CAS TV YouTube Channel

I didn’t realize that Computing at School has their own YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/computingatschooltv

This episode is particularly relevant for this blog — Sue Sentence talking about computing education research: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-NaxSaXtRA
