In this episode I had an interesting discussion with a fellow ADE and coding colleague, Charlotte Billot. Charlotte teaches in primary school in Toulouse, France. Charlotte is an engineering school graduate in 1994 and considers herself a life-long learner. Charlotte believes that it is most important to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for her students so that they are happy learners because happy learners are better learners. Charlotte has been teaching since 1998 in five different districts Charlotte is Apple Distinguished Educator, Class of 2015. She is also a Seesaw Ambassador and Book Creator Ambassador. I would like to thank Charlotte for taking the time to speak with me.

Alternative Title: 'Swift Playgrounds App: It's the Macaroni and Cheese to Where You Put the Vegetables That Is Computer Science!'

I had the distinct honor of interviewing four professors from West Chester University of Pennsylvania: Dr. Chris Penny, Dr. Laquanna Cooke, Dr. Heather Schugar, and Dr. Jordan Schugar. They recently conducted a study with their undergraduate education majors that looked at coding in the Swift Playgrounds app. We had a thoughtful and extensive discussion on learning programming languages, coding, transferring skills, and implications for undergraduate teacher preparation. I think you will enjoy the episode. I really enjoyed the conversation!

For episode 20 I had a fun and fascinating discussion with my friend and ADE colleague, Larry Reiff. Larry is an English Language Arts & Computer Science teacher at Roslyn High School in Roslyn, NY. He was one of the first teachers in the country to pilot a full 1-to-1 iPad program with one of classes and now leads professional development classes on tech implementation in the classroom. In the summer of 2017, Larry became the coding instructor at NJY Camps in Milford, Pennsylvania. This school year Larry is teaching a mix of Freshman Humanities, App Development, and AP Computer Science Principles. As an Apple Distinguished Educator and a Google Certified Teacher, Larry Reiff understands that 21st century students absorb and integrate information very differently than any previous generation. Larry is Apple Distinguished Educator, Class of 2011.
