On July 30, I received my first Raspberry Pi, purchased at Element 14. After a one-month wait, it arrived in the mail, albeit late from Belgium – 9 pm. In reality, it arrived around lunchtime, but since I wasn’t home, the postman left it as regular mail.
The box is small, like a credit card. In fact, I found the computer amidst other letters.

I’m still impressed by Khan Academy. Fantastic tool for those who need to review and learn math, physics, etc., concepts. Now he tackles problems of leveling between students with different learning rhythms. When will we have this type of initiative in Portuguese? Videos and not mini soap operas! The potential of video lessons, with playback controlled by students is interesting, even in areas without Internet or infrastructure for live video classes.

I saw this video last year, but since it didn’t have Portuguese subtitles… I didn’t post it here.
However, even without subtitles, these ideas couldn’t be left without a brief comment.
Watch the video:
Douglas Rushkoff presents the importance of programming knowledge in modern times.
Not that he advocates for a world of programmers or addresses a specific programming language X or Y.
What’s fantastic about the video is the relationship between the invention of writing, programming, and modern media.
From the early sharing of knowledge through writing, books, and then with the modern printing press, he compares citizen access to each of these forms of transmitting knowledge. How that knowledge was controlled and distributed among common people and how society always lagged behind in new technologies for producing and distributing this same knowledge.

I became a professor by accident. In college, I was good at math and always taught someone… it eventually got more serious. I started teaching private math classes while still in the first grade… by the time I was 18, I was an instructor for programming courses. I think my first course was Clipper :-)
In 1994, I became a teacher of logic and programming techniques as well as programming languages I and II. Teacher of algorithms, Cobol and C. Since then, I have become seriously interested in education and impressed by how quickly people learn. I confess that teaching programming is not easy, learning either. With some practice, it gets better, but I never felt content… I continue to look for new ways to teach programming. In recent years, I taught Python. A language I like a lot and use every day.
