Educational Technology: Crash Course Computer Science #39

Today we’re going to go a little meta and talk about how computer science can support learning with educational technology. We here at Crash Course are big fans of interactive in-class learning and hands-on experiences, but we also believe in the additive power of educational technology inside and outside the classroom from the Internet itself and Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs to AI driven intelligent tutoring systems and virtual reality.

Thank you guys. Its hard to put in words how much online education has helped me. It's like leaving the cave in Plato's allegory. I never had access to quality education and have been surrounded by violence and drug abuse for a big part of my life. It gets lonely at times because many assume scholarity is education and don't see the value in interdisciplinary learning. Despite that, my life has improved because of people like you and I now KNOW that it's within my hands to develop myself and enjoy every minute of life I have left. From the bottom of my cerebral concoction of neurotransmitters 😉 THANK YOU

I'd like either:
a) Math crash course
b) Music theory crash course
c) MORE COMPUTER SCIENCE!!!

One of my favorite series from CrashCourse. Kudos for making it to 40 episodes guys, see you next week.

[morezco]

please have Carrie Anne present a continuation of this series!

As a teacher who often wonders about these developments (and how I could integrate them into my teaching), I want to thank you for summarising the current research so elegantly!

Series finale next week? aww felt that this series had the potential to go on longer than the other series. oh well, been a good journey; hope the last episode goes out with a bang.

Rewatching this during this kind of world event adds a little flavor to the context.

this is the start of my journy to online education

I never thought I’d enjoy computer stuff, but watching your series has made me excited to learn more. With this series, I watched each video twice. Some more than twice, if I wasn’t getting it. So far I’ve loved it. Will try some free code camp and code academy to learn some languages, watch that free Harvard intro to CS lecture series here on YouTube (it’s not opening up again to take on edX until next year) and then I think code academy’s Computer Science path. And then maybe full stack development through them or the Odin Project. It’s exciting.

Can't believe this course is ending! Amazing work so far, I loved it.

[BrandonAiton]

I don't want this series to ever end!  Please come back with a season 2 lol

[frencheneesz]

The Diamond Age is a fantastic book. Good mention!

[jasminebishop]

Big fan of Crash Course, especially the Computer Science series. I have been waiting for an Educational Technology video - thank you!

[NoahNobody]

Stackoverflow is a great example of a giant searchable FAQ for all of programming.

[timetravellingturtle]

This will definetly help with my Computer Applications Project.

[simonkraemer]

Next week the final episode? Time for a Math Crash Course! Please!

[gardenhead]

I think the SAT writing tidbit speaks more to the quality of the human graders than to the algorithms ;)

I just found this course and caught up only for it to end in a few days. Thanks for the information though, it has been fun learning it all.

I doubt one singular thing will revolutionize education, but things do change. A lot of teachers show their kids videos, slide show presentations, and websites instead of lecturing and writing on the board. I think education will change, but not in a heart-beat.

The Diamond Age is one of my favourite books!
