How to Teach Kids to Code | Bryson Payne | TEDxUNG

[mydvinecebu]

Totally agree with everything he said but please, do something about the title. It should be at least "Why We Need To Teach Kids & Ourselves To Code."

[anurram]

i spent 8 mins looking for how to teach kids to code before realizing the talk is not about that.

[Jojo-qwon]

Save you some time, he’s not talking about how to teach kids how to code, he’s talking about why it’s important.

[HeribertoNieves]

for anyone reading this, it does not matter if its 2018 or 2040 you can learn how to code, it just take dedication like anything else in this world. And do NOT believe the myth of "You need to be a math genius to code" is NOT true, you rarely need it.

you see it a lot in fundamentals because is the best way to teach those fundamentals and understand how things work. good luck to anyone and btw the coding community is one of the friendliest ones i seen, just ask if you are having troubles or are stuck learning.

I just bought your book in Chinese version for my kid half an hour ago, and search "how to let kids learn programming" in youtube, then I come here, it is so amazing.

I thought he was meaning learning the code as in the unspoken code that me an 80s baby learned without actually being taught. It was basically common sense. Sadly we are the last of a dying breed. We have to physically and verbally teach this generation. It’s never too late!!! Our younger generation need to learn this so they stop reacting instantly to situations without even thinking about the consequences or feelings or the hurt it causes.

Now I am 15 but I am coding since age 10 and coding is a very interesting part of a computer

My school has mandatory 2 years of html and 1 year of just learning how a code is made by using MIT'S Scratch program

[Kade-Owen]

I used to be code literate, because coding used to be logical. I can still code in several languages, you don't really forget. But the reason I feel illiterate is that new libraries and APIs keep spawning new syntaxes and paradigms that distract me and keep me from building on what I already know, yet are required to get or keep a job. Coders are asked to know more and more to do less and less. For example, the boss wants to use Restful APIs with Angular.js and Node.js, instead of just JavaScript, which underlies it all and follows the relatively simple and logical conventions based on the C language. But these APIs built on top of JavaScript EACH follow their own conventions. If you want literacy, keep it simple. You learn to read and write once, then you pick up some tricks and some big words after that. You don't create a new language with different conventions every few months and compete to force the most coders to adopt it. The business community is shooting itself in the foot by facilitating the chaos of this proliferating Tower of Babel (aka Babble).

Fundamental mistake the presenter makes: coding is not the same as technology literacy. You can be technologically literate without knowing how to code. Conflating both will only cause more problems than it solves. As a fellow computer science teacher, this is one of the worst things you can do to students apart from claiming they could make the next Uber or Facebook. Most computing jobs are rather mundane.

[HeribertoNieves]

this is what i always say to friends and family but these words are much more clear of how i could explain it

[DejiTeye]

Very interesting and inspiring. However, the lecture does no justice to the title.

[book_eater]

Thank you so much man I've inspired and started to learn coding 6/2/2021

[sirprecioustv]

Wow 🥺 such a nice inspirational....I have fall for coding now, thank you for opening my eyes now.

[darktealglasses]

That's a good reason to go into the industry

[self.improved]

My first computer was a commodore 64 also :)

I like the idea but the title should be "why should everyone learn coding"

[montazmeahii]

To teach kids code, you gotta give a WAY more interesting presentation than this.

[lagadamia]

I wish i wouldve gone to school for computer Programming as oppose to graphic design something i could've on learned on YouTube for free

[EthanLR]

not so much the how, but rather the why, but still appreciated
