I don’t know what I’d do without podcasts. My brain would be less productive and my car rides would be incredibly boring. @danpricewhite I know you agree. Have you seen this video?

Thanks @pgreen. We’re going to walk with Rural UP, as well as design some courses for the Holler, about a summer program and some programming bootcamps that use the Holler to sustain long term collaboration and learning.

I teach computer science and my students have just started learning html.

@joyneace That’s great! What types of projects will they build? We could feature some of their work on the Holler, or throw out some coding challenges once they are far enough along.

That’s great! We should do a profile on your class for the Holler!

I’ve found about 10 gaming casts…Read More
