| 14:59 | bernie | morganya: I just watched they youtube video of canal ceibal on the theorem of pythagoras. it's terrible! |
| 15:00 | morganya: the teacher speaks slowly and asks questions such as "these two sides of the triangle are ca...?" | |
| 15:01 | morganya: by the end of the class, she hasan't managed to explain the theorem of pythagoras. only draw 6 squares below the triangle for no apparent reason. | |
| 15:01 | morganya | bernie: oh no! :( It *could* be done so well ... |
| 15:02 | bernie: the problem seems to be inspiration all around. The teachers need to be inspired, the students need to be inspired ... but how do you create that? | |
| 15:19 | bernie | morganya: the classes of canal ceibal are in general all very boring... with children writing continuously on their notebooks while teacher is spelling the name of activities on the whiteboard and stuff like that. |
| 15:24 | morganya | bernie: too bad :( maybe they should take a lesson from Khan Academy (there are misses there, too, but in general the excitement is high) |
| 15:42 | bernie | morganya: I'm reading the hackety hack article. I couldn't agree more: programming isn't as readily available as it was in the Commodore 64 days, and that something should be done about it to help beginners tinker with their computers. |
| 15:43 | morganya: last sunday I met Nick in a pub, a MIT researcher who took a sabbatical to write a book on C64 one-liners. | |
| 15:44 | morganya: he's shown me this: 10PRINTCHR$(INT(169+RND(1)-0.5));:GOTO10 | |
| 15:44 | morganya | bernie: cool! I don't know any C64, but maybe I'll learn one of these days ... ;) |
| 15:44 | bernie | morganya: (he's got Frodo, the c64 emulator created on the amiga, running on his android phone) |
| 15:45 | morganya | bernie: haha ... runnable on almost anything! |
| 15:47 | bernie | morganya: the program was slightly different... probably 179.5 + RND(1) |
| 15:48 | morganya: the idea is to print two adjacent characters in te PETSCII table | |
| 15:49 | morganya: since PETSCII is full of graphical symbols, it works well for creating random patterns that make sense | |
| 15:49 | morganya: the idea of this guy was to key the program while he was giving a talk and keep modifying it as he was talking | |
| 15:50 | morganya: a lot of people in the audience said they felt the urge to jump on the podium and modify the program themselves | |
| 15:52 | jasg has quit IRC | |
| 16:09 | morganya | bernie: always a good sign that your product is engaging ... though hopefully it's as engaging for 10-somethings as 30-somethings (who grew up with it and didn't have flashy games and YouTube as alternatives!) |
| 16:18 | bernie | morganya: that's a dilemma we haven't solved yet: how to make programming attractive to the new generation. visual environments suck and real programming isn't visual enough |
| 16:19 | morganya: I have seen teens hack mods for quake and then write their owns... that's probably a compromise between coolness and real coding that they'd buy into. | |
| 16:20 | morganya | bernie: yeah ... and one can learn patience because the rewards can be great, but it can be hard to grab attention. But yeah, you're right -- things like Quake mods, or web programming, are great first steps ... I wonder what the middle ground usually is (between Quake mods and more complex stuff) |
| 16:24 | bernie | morganya: modify quake itself? |
| 16:26 | morganya | bernie: I wonder ... |
| 16:27 | bernie | morganya: bah, once kids use a linux system, from time to time they're encouraged to build stuff from sources, apply patches... sometimes fix compile issues... and this is also a great way to dive into programming |
| 16:28 | morganya | bernie: well, for some kids :) |
| 16:28 | bernie: but I don't think it reaches many -- it's a steep learning curve | |
| 16:28 | bernie | morganya: although, it's a top-down way: they start by making small changes to huge codebases without really understanding the basic concepts of programming |
| 16:29 | morganya: I've seen sysadmins and web designers do that... over time they develop an intuitive understanding of code | |
| 16:29 | morganya: perhaps they can study CS later on... | |
| 16:41 | morganya | bernie: yeah, it's how many of the coders in our generation I know started out (though they're mostly guys ...) |
