Question

Why is Resnick skeptical of calling the young people of today ‘digital natives’? Do you agree? Explain.

According to Resnick, how do most people view coding? Do you think this is still accurate today considering that this video was made in 2012?


What does Resnick mean when he says that people are ‘coding to learn’? Describe an example of this.


Do you think that using something like Scratch is a good way to get kids interested in coding/computer programming? Should coding/programming be a required subject in school? Explain.


This video uses the term ‘coding’ while the unit uses the term ‘programming’—are these terms interchangeable? Do these terms mean the same thing? (Feel free to do a little extra research into these terms, if needed.) Explain.

Answer 1

For question one, Resnick skeptical of calling the young people of today 'digital natives' will have to be agree. For agreeable reasons is because people who are called "digital natives", is because they are in a technological state that they are familiar with. Which means that if young people are in a state of technology and they are really into it, you have this unbreakable string tied to the waist and it hangs into you from a tree. And for reason two, is because coding can be helpful. In situations like people hacking you, with coding, now that is when it comes in.

And for the others, I'll have to look at some more information I might have. But, here is your first answer is up above, If it isn't good enough, then let me know.

Hope this helps.
