Interesting Links 22 June 2015

I took it easy last week. Let’s call it retirement practice.  Hope you’re enjoying your self and if you are also on summer break I hope you are resting physically and mentally.

Only a few things to share these week.

CSP: IP Addresses and DNS with Vint Cerf doing a lot of the narration. It’s a really nice video which I plan to use with my classes next year.

http://Code.org grows CS Ed partnership to reduce the Babble in CS Ed via Mark  @guzdial But do we want the Babble? I think we want some variety. How much is enough and how much is too much?

ACM, CSTA Announce New Award to Recognize US High School Students in Computing – he official press release announcing the Cutler-Bell award for high school computing. 

EV3 Basic  is a new Extension to Microsoft Small Basic that allows Small Basic to interact with the Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot. May be worth a look if you are using robots.

Interesting video from ComputerCraftEdu: Starting to Program in Minecraft. I don’t know much about Minecraft but people seem to like it.

Now if I can get the EV3 Basic to work with the earlier model brick I will be a real happy camper.
