The purpose of this blog is to collect thoughts and ideas on the teaching of computer science, the teaching of computer literacy or fluency, and the difference between the two. Why, then, the title Computer Science Musings? Thanks to Visual Thesaurus, I see that to muse is to mull, mediate, contemplate, ruminate, think over, chew over, etc. This blog aspires to do all of the above. Contributions welcome!
The nine canonical muses inspire epic poetry, lyric song, history, erotic poetry, tragedy, sacred song, dance, comedy and bucolic poetry, and astronomy. Some aspects of computer science are creative endevors — certainly programming is. We should have a muse to inspire us!
