Why do you want kids to code?

Why do you want kids to code? | Moodle and Web 2.0 | Scoop.it
I made this because I think there is an important distinction between learning to code and coding to learn.  I think the focus with students doing coding in schools should be coding to learn (except for secondary and tertiary computer science or computer programming courses). Bill Ferriter’s graphic called what do you want kids to do with technology was the inspiration for my graphic. I created this for the same reasons he created his. Coding affords a means through which some incredibly powerful making and learning can take place.

This should be compulsory reading to allay the media hype that surrounds coding!!!!!!
