Are You Assigning Projects or Recipes?

Computer Science Teacher

Chris Lehmann, the amazing principal of Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia, says “If you assign a project and get back 30 of the same thing, that’s not a project, that is a recipe.” Now recipes have their place for sure. They often make a good start. I see programming as a creative thing (art/craft/skill/science/what ever) and I want to see creativity from my students.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Some Simple Early Programming Projects

Computer Science Teacher

If you are not on Twitter you may be missing a lot of good things. For example, the other day Kelly Lougheed ( @kellylougheed ) tweeted out a bunch of simple labs that only require user input and mathematical operations. I have copied them below because I want to be able to find them again later. I’ve used unit conversion for years but it gets old.
