Education Week recently posted an article that seven states
have created standards for computer science education in the K-12 environment
with another eight states developing them. According to the article, the federal
government under President Obama initiated a $4 billion initiative to develop
computer science programs to meet the need of educating students in this essential skill. The goal is to develop a
comprehensive computer science program and have these states share them as
best practices with other states. This program will also focus on diversity and ensure
that socioeconomic factors and gender will not effect access to
technology. In addition to learning how
to use technology, students will learn how to properly discuss issues online and how to protect their privacy.
