How cool is that. In fact, the more I thought about it the more I realized that WE’VE BEEN DISCOVERED! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Hell yes! I’m sure it was someone from the Talent Scouting Department who was surfing the blog and comedy podcast world for new talent. It’s really not a surprise that they would find us. I mean, <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/im-with-stupid" target="_blank">IWS Radio</a> <i>is</i> the NUMBER ONE comedy show on BTR and as of the writing of this post we are #10 in the whole Entertainment Category! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">You know what??

It would basically be just like the radio show only on TV. We would open with a little witty banter between Matt and me in the first segment.

Then we would interview a couple of celebrity guests, bring on a musical act, a stand-up comic and maybe do some improv comedy.

It can be simple. Students should know how to cause the computer to do things starting at a very young age. In 10 short minutes, you can learn all about this topic and how you can put some concepts in your classroom. Are you teaching students about advanced searching? Start there.</p> <p>Alfred serves on the Computer Science Teachers of America board. He's my go-to guy for questions about how to teach Computer Science. I've been a faithful reader of his blog since the first month I started blogging in December 2005. Alfred, though, isn't just a PLN resource, he's my friend. He's a good man and a great servant leader to the cause of Computer science and STEM education and is a wealth of knowledge. Take a listen, follow Alfred on Twitter, and understand how Computer Science Matters in your school.</p> <p>Blog: <a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://blog.acthompson.net/">http://blog.acthompson.net</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Twitter: <a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://twitter.com/alfredtwo">http://twitter.com/alfredtwo</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Home Page: <a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://www.acthompson.net/">http://www.acthompson.net</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.bamradionetwork.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1077:teaching-teachers-with-technology&catid=91:every-classroom-matters&Itemid=259" target="_self" title="">Listen to the show </a></p> <h1>Essential questions:</h1> <ul> <li>What should elementary age students to be able to do? <em>(curriculum directors listen up)</em></li> <li>What are your favorite simple introduction to programming tools for kids in elementary?

(This regular reunion is a fun time of catching up with news and views, and various teachers slip in and out of the Hangout as their time permits.) On the side bar below you can see the word ‘Capture’.
