As I talk with teachers around the country, I see a lot of innovation and progress in development of new and improved teaching methods. One area that seems to be missing though is in coding. For the most part, coding is still being taught in the same way it always has been. Students learn concepts, practice skills, and eventually, they get to work on projects. Why can't the same learning techniques be applied to coding?
I am working on making my App Development course Challenge Based. Evidence shows that Challenge Based Learning can lead to improved learning and performance in classes. There is no reason that the same can't be true for coding. To that end, I am working on revamping my entire program. In essence, I will be running the class just like a "Dev Shop". We will work on projects for actual clients, use a SCRUM project management method, and together develop strong coding skills. Stay tuned...
