JUNE 11, 2025

I get a lot of questions from readers about what tech ed resources I use in my classroom so I’m going to take a few days this summer to review them with you. Some are edited and/or written by members of the Ask a Tech Teacher crew. Others, by tech teachers who work with the same publisher I do.

Students light up when they create something meaningful, and every educator has seen that spark. Self-expression fuels learning, and creativity lies at the heart of the human experience. As AI rapidly reshapes software development, computer science (CS) education must move beyond syntax drills and algorithmic repetition. Coding alone isn’t enough; students must also learn to think systemically, design creatively and build with intention.

One of the things that is so easy to cut when crunched for minutes is the time and space for reflection. We do this for ourselves as educators and we do this for students as well. Sometimes we ask students to reflect at home, knowing that many of them will not do this. Reflection is an important part of the learning process and it should be the last thing that is cut when completing work.

We often think of ourselves as being x years old, but that is only the age of the unique mind-body we call our "self." When considering the full miracle of existence, the fact that we are entities capable of the self-awareness to even consider such a calculation, it's more accurate, as neuroscientist Patrick House suggests, to consider that we are really our "age plus three billion years.
