| Abstract: | The article discusses that the debates flare about precisely what is taught, to whom, and for what purpose. It mentions that Reitz-Larsen is teaching computer science through movement. The former German-language and business instructor found that linking difficult concepts such as algorithms and the binary system to students' interests helps the students grasp a topic that many were leery about before they stepped into her class. |
