LEANER#

What is the innovaton here?#

• ASPIRATION: SnapCoderr aspire to combine beast parts of
  • a) REPL.it online program execution with
  • b) CRISP content explanations of PROGRAMIZ.com
  • c) adding our OWN below MAGIC parts
• LEVEL based content teaching : only teach content related to that LEVEL. No 'multi variable assignments in LEVEL 1. We will have LEVEL 1 (FizBuzz), LEVEL 3(class Gradebook program)
• cohart based : improve belonging (maven.com did same ) of students to a group rather everybody doing alone.
• handon drills : at least 70% of TIME is spent in drills/exercises handons (30% content/concept teaching)
• tests : quiz and tests at the end of DAY, WEKLY Tests, midterms ( like university quarter system)
• peer grading : faciliates student learning how to read and understand other people code.

Peers, what they are doing#

• exection server farms: repl.it
• content teaching : codeacademy.com
• video: udacity.com (paid leader), all tech youtub videos
• books : good source ignored, nobody is usnig or talking about

Observatons /w Jyothi : TOO DEEP, TOO FAST , NO DRILLS#

Major problems i see on Today programming PEDAGOGY. summarie in four words: TOO DEEP, TOO FAST

 1/ same content for ALL LEVELS ( too DEEP)
   - most programming site content is not LEVEL based, for a beginer you introduce x,y = 3,5 confuses
   - showing hexcodes in variable topics confuses. Both I saw with Jyothi even on best content site like 'programiz.com'
   - more surface area inroduced, less focuesed and error prone ara increases. This is similar to 'startup WEDGE concept' 

 2/ too many CONCEPTS in too short TIME (too FAST)
   - variables, loops, Array (list) all introduced in first 2 hours.
   - where as each of above topic needs at least 2 hours in 3 different days
   - lacking various examples, quiz and test programs.

bad Pedagogy#

• pedagogy-vs-andragogy

Pedagogical 
  Learners are motivated by external sources, such as parents and teachers. 
  The topic is completed by a pass or fail grade.   

Andragogical
  Learners are motivated by intrinsic means: self-esteem, quality of life, problem-solving, and the quest for recognition. 
  Topics are completed by mastery.
