The Markings of a New Pencil: Introducing Programming-as-Writing in the Middle School Classroom

Abstrak / Ringkasan

Using the setting of a writing workshop to facilitate a deliberate process to learn computer programming, this exploratory study
investigates where there is a natural overlap between programming and writing through the storytelling motif, and to what extent
existing language arts coursework and pedagogy can be leveraged to introduce this new form of digital composition to middle-school
children. Whereas previous studies linking children’s programming with storytelling did so within the informal afterschool clubs,
this study focuses on integrating computer science into the classroom, aligning curricula to core-content English language arts
instruction.
