Giving a soldering iron to a ten year old to teach them about electronics maybe isn’t the best idea. littleBits, on the other hand, turn basic electronic components into magnetic building blocks that make it easy and safe for kids to build circuits. And now that it includes Bluetooth, those custom creations can finally be controlled by a smartphone.

MIT and Google team up to develop the next generation of Scratch | #Coding 

MIT and Google team up to develop the next generation of Scratch | #Coding  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Here's some great news for fans of Scratch, an extremely popular game that teaches kids the conceptual "language" around computer programming, using cartoon-y animated characters. The MIT Scratch Team said Tuesday that it will collaborate with Google to create the next generation of the game.

MIT says this collaboration will first result in a new generation of graphical programming blocks, called Scratch Blocks, which is an open source project that allows developers to create and share the "blocks" (or code) of each game with one another. Developers can also easily integrate the blocks into apps, games and toys they create for kids. Scratch Blocks makes it easier to create programming experiences for a wider range of people that will work on a wider range of devices.

Great to hear that new development will allow for a richer / wider pool of 'block" to choose from.

Rowhammer, jetzt auch mit JavaScript: Sicherheitsleck durch Software-Angriff auf DRAM-Chips | Coding | Responsibility

Rowhammer, jetzt auch mit JavaScript: Sicherheitsleck durch Software-Angriff auf DRAM-Chips | Coding | Responsibility | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Beim Rowhammer-Angriff klöppelt der Angreifer so lange auf einem Speicherbereich rum, bis benachbarte Bits flippen. So kann man Systeme lahmlegen und sich sogar Admin-Rechte verschaffen. Unglaublicherweise klappt das auch mit JavaScript über das Internet.


Im März schlug die Veröffentlichung einer Reihe von Google-Forscher große Wellen: Auf DRAM-Chips lassen sich mit Gewalt Bits flippen und Angreifer können so den Rechner des Opfers abstürzen lassen oder gar Admin-Rechte erlangen. Jetzt haben Forscher der Technischen Universität Graz und der Firma Technicolor es geschafft,den sogenannten Rowhammer-Angriff auf JavaScript zu übertragen.


Damit kann man den Speicher aus der Ferne malträtieren, wenn das Opfer eine präparierte Webseite besucht. Die Gefahr eines gezielten Angriffs im Alltag ist zwar nach wie vor begrenzt, wenn es dem Angreifer aber nur darum geht, Daten in den Systemen zu verfälschen oder diese zum Absturz zu bringen, so ist dem Tür und Tor geöffnet und zwar nicht etwa nur für x86, sondern prinzipiell auch für ARM und andere Architekturen.

Learning About Young Makers | MakerED | MakerSpaces | eSkills | Challenges | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Conclusion

Even though these weeks were considered a maker education summer camp, there was an expectation from the school and parents that the learning activities incorporated the expectations and rigors of a classroom environment. I could easily identify cross-curricular state and common core standards even though I never taught to THE standards. Never during the sessions were the young learners formally testing, asked to be quiet or sit still, or asked to finish quickly so we can move on. Yet, I believe each of the kids would say that they learned lots . . . . and had fun doing so.


Young makers are more capable than what people (adults) typically believe.

Instead, the making learning activities were structured to honor natural ways of learning along with developmentally appropriate practices. Sadly, it appears that some of these natural ways of learning were “conditioned” out of the young learners through more formalized education as I identified in my observations.


Incorporating making into a learning environment teaches lifelong learning skills such of perseverance, love of learning, working with others, and embracing challenges.

Pareto principle - 80% of problems can be attributed to 20% of causes | #Quality #Time 

Pareto principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Management consultant Joseph M.

In computer science and engineering control theory, such as for electromechanical energy converters, the Pareto principle can be applied to optimization efforts.[11]

For example, Microsoft noted that by fixing the top 20% of the most-reported bugs, 80% of the related errors and crashes in a given system would be eliminated.[12]

In load testing, it is common practice to estimate that 80% of the traffic occurs during 20% of the time.[citation needed]

In software engineering, Lowell Arthur expressed a corollary principle: "20 percent of the code has 80 percent of the errors. Find them, fix them!"[13]

Software frameworks have often been observed to make 80% of use cases easier to implement and 20% of use cases much more difficult to implement.[14]

In the mobile game industry, it has been noted that for free-to-play games, over 50% of the game's profit comes from 0.5% of the players.[15][16]

New Ways to Teach Young Children to Code | Coding

New Ways to Teach Young Children to Code | Coding | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Many parents want their children to learn to code. Tech leaders and educators are pushing schools to add more computer-science classes, and families often see programming as an essential skill for the future.

But unlike reading to your children or teaching them to count, preparing children to code can feel daunting and unnatural. Many parents think they can’t help because they don’t know math or programming themselves.

Increasingly, though, parents who have never written a line of code are finding ways to teach their children basic programming skills. Some tap websites, gaming apps or online puzzles using visual programming languages designed for children. Others focus on teaching the kind of thinking that coding requires. For instance, even young children can learn how to break tasks into steps and perform them in order—a programming concept called sequencing—or to repeat a series of steps until a task is complete, a concept called loops.

Bee-Bot | Coding

Bee-Bot | Coding | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Bee-Bot is an exciting new robot designed for use by young children. This colorful, easy-to-operate, and friendly little robot is a perfect tool for teaching sequencing, estimation, problem-solving, and just having fun!

Sturdy construction and colorful design entice children to put Bee-Bot through its paces. Directional keys are used to enter up to 40 commands which send Bee-Bot forward, back, left, and right. Pressing the green GO button starts Bee-Bot on its way. Bee-Bot blinks and beeps at the conclusion of each command to allow children to follow Bee-Bot through the program they have entered and then confirms its completion with lights and sound. Children want to use Bee-Bot over and over and are inspired to enter ever more creative and complex command sequences.

Bee-Bot moves in 6” steps and 90º turns. Compact size and durable materials make Bee-Bot child- and classroom-friendly. Bee-Bot is equally adaptable to home and school environments and boosts enthusiasm for experimentation and learning wherever it is used. Bee-Bot is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery. Recharging is done via a standard USB recharger or USB computer port. A USB recharger cable comes with each Bee-Bot.

From my own experience, you never know when your knowledge of coding will be useful, but you know it will one day. The earlier we familiarise ourselves with it, the better (no need to go over board though).

it is never too late or too early to learn how to code. Most current students will need some knowledge of coding in their work life and it will give them an edge of those who don't. Having some knowledge certainly made my work life easier.

1.000.000 Mini-PCs verschenkt: BBC verteilt gratis Raspberry-Pi-Klone | Coding | Europe | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Die britische BBC hat einen eigenen Mini-Computer vorgestellt, den micro:bit. Vor allem Kinder sollen damit das Programmieren lernen - um ein direktes Konkurrenzprodukt für Platinen-Computer wie den Raspberry Pi handelt es sich also nicht. Vielmehr soll der micro:bit mit Raspberry Pi, Arduino und dem Intel Galileo kompatibel sein.

Bis zu einer Million micro:bit will die BBC komplett kostenlos an Schüler im Alter zwischen 11 und 12 Jahren verteilen. Die Mini-Computer sind mit Bewegungssensoren, Kompass und Bluetooth ausgestattet. 25 rote LEDs können unmittelbar angesteuert werden, außerdem gibt es zwei Buttons und fünf I/O-Ports. Die Platine misst 4 Mal 5 Zentimeter und wird in unterschiedlichen Farben angeboten.
