How Coding Gives Your Kid the Educational Advantage They Need

As an educator and/or parent, I am sure you have watched (with both excitement and trepidation) the accelerating growth of online learning, from its humbler beginnings to the challenges of pandemic education to the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) to learning in just about every aspect of our lives.

How are your kids handling all this non-traditional learning? I’ve seen some kids latch onto learning online as if it is a magical door into an ever-expanding world (the TARDIS times a million, if that is even possible!).

We can all hope we’re lucky to, one day, look back in our rearview mirror and tell stories of life amidst the 2020 pause. It’s November–how are you holding up? Things sure are nutty these days.

“The best entrepreneurs and most successful people I’ve ever encountered view change as opportunities. Every time an industry is adjusted and the terrain shifts, they don’t get on a soapbox and start complaining. Instead, they analyze the situation and determine how they can adapt, and act, in a way that leaves them better than they would have been if they kept trying to do the same thing.”

Eric Leif Peters: #CommunityCollegeBecause ... learning is what everybody will be doing in the 21st Century

My name is Eric Leif Peters (which is an anagram of "fertile recipes" and "fierce reptiles", so my friends know me as the “Culinary Herpetologist”). I attended CCAC at the Dawn of Time, when dinosaurs walked the Earth (Fall 1977-May 1979). I may have earned an Associate Degree, but I honestly don't remember. I DO know that my credits (at least for the courses I passed) all successfully transferred to the University of Pittsburgh (from which I earned my B.S. in Biology in the Fall 1982 semester). I then went on to earn a M.S.

Tom Hanks, Eileen Collins, Steve Jobs, Halle Berry, George Lucas…all famous names of people who have attended a community college.

Yet, even though these and many others have attended a community college, they are usually overlooked as a first-choice when considering higher education.
