A Step Towards
the Creation of Educational Technology Standards
Programming
in Schools
Not everyone in the world needs to how to write common gateway interface
(cgi) programs in Perl. We expect this trend to continue well into the
next century.
The question remains: "What computer language should students learn?"
This is impossible to answer. There are nearly as many computer languages
as there are spoken languages. Each computer programming language has
a unique task that it was created for. Languages also seem to come and
go in the programming world. Very few languages have stood the test of
time. No one language seems to be leading the way at this point in both
the on and off-line worlds.
Programming will most likely never become common in corporate marketplace.
But, if students were to understand mathematical logic they would be more
adept to learn programming skills if required. Therefore courses like
geometry, algebra, and trigonometry will service this skill well.
