Computer Science for Math Credit? Yes Please! How do we get our school signed up for this? Coming back from a fantastic WeTeachCS collaborative conference in Austin, I am wondering how can we get this going? Not only can the students get their two years of language credit, they could alternately get a year of math credit for a computer science course. How much more relevant would this be to the student who struggles not with the overall idea of mathematics, but rather with the abstraction of applying the mathematical concepts? So much of "how" we do math in school is a problem for the struggling math students. It certainly will help the whole, "When we use this again?" No one (under 30 anyway) asks when they will use computers again, but every math teacher knows that there is not an answer to that question regarding math that will satisfy a 16 year old who struggles to wrap their brain around fractions. So can we do it? Apparently we can. Hoping that after we sort out all the new school, new growth stuff it will get put on the agenda. They already have a teacher certified in CS and Math...If TX says we can, lets do this!
