Modelling the programming process through live coding
Following our recent quick read on the same subject, I spoke to Rebecca Franks from the Raspberry Pi Foundation about the benefits of Live Coding in computing education. Whilst Live coding is typically delivered in person there are also several examples of it's successful use online and in remote settings.
From next month we'll be focusing on the challenge that many educators now face of teaching their pupils whilst schools are closed and learning is happening remotely. We want to hear your experiences, challenges and ideas which you can share with us via email.
You can find the podcast via these popular services:
You can (and should) contribute your thoughts and expertise by emailing the team, or by leaving us a voice message, which we may include in a future episode.
We want to make a podcast that is both interesting and useful to computing educators and to do that we need your help. Complete this feedback form to tell us what you liked (or didn’t like) and what you’d like to see more of.
Thanks for listening!
