When public schools get “innovative” on technology, we offer a high school course on Java, talk about 1:1 computing, promote a “day of code” or buy carts of Chrome books so that kids can interact with digital content for a couple of hours each day.
But that’s not what real innovation looks like. How about a school where every class includes coding as part of the curriculum, even Art? Where teachers are coached by Google engineers and IDEO designers? Where students spend full trimesters in lab setting solving real-world problems?
