Shortly after I finished my first book I was chatting with one of my closest teacher friends, a drama teacher, about a student play we were going to collaborate on. The set was a spaceship, and so we wanted lots of blinkly lights and space-age computer effects everywhere. As we talked through the plan, and how we’d work with students in the CS and tech ed classes to get it all done, I knew that this was another book in the making.
As long as I’ve taught CS, and even before I considered myself a “CS teacher”, I’ve found great personal joy and satisfaction in projects that straddle the line between art at technology. Coding and the Arts is my attempt to capture and share the special magic that sits at that intersection. I hope you’ll check out this new endeavor and share with me the great art you make with your students!
