Peter Drake<p>What are the "essential" skills that computer science students need? I think they need to understand coding, algorithms, and other parts of CS well enough to ask the right questions (of an LLM, search engine, or other human), and understand and validate the answers. Perhaps a useful frame of mind is: "Eventually you will be supervising people or machines. You need basic technical understanding, critical thinking, and project management skills."</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/pedagogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pedagogy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CSEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CSEd</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ComputerScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerScience</span></a></p>

I'd love to hear what you've found useful to create "something" illustrating benefits/risks of using AI as a tool for those w/limited to no code skills. And please, no straight up "AI hate". I understand & have written about ethical concerns, limitations/risks so 'flame on' is not helpful. AI is here & we need to figure out how to teach students with this in our world. Avoid at all costs is not practical advice.</p>

Joshua Grochow<p>I like the phrase "code sense" in Maggie Johnson's Comm. ACM opinion (Mar '24), analogous to "number sense". But then I think she mis-applies the analogy. When kids are first learning numbers and arithmetic, to help them gain number sense, we *do not let them use calculators at all*.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenAI</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CSEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CSEd</span></a></p>
