I couldn't be more pleased with the overall work that I am witnessing for this project. This is not an easy task with roadblocks as numerous as potholes on the streets of New Orleans (I lived there; love the place, but WOW are the streets bad). The critical thinking component of the task is ever present as students are responsible for creating a concept and then writing the code to make it happen on the computer. At every moment they are needing to predict, analyze, identify issues, seek solutions, and solve problems.
What's been most exciting is hearing the kids come to class and say, "I worked on my project all night!" – and it wasn't because it is due that day. It's because they're enjoying building and creating. I'm looking forward to sharing their work when the quarter comes to an end in January.
