Talk Xanga: Capturing Gen-Z's Computational Imagination:
"In a recent HPCWire article entitled 'New Directions for Computational Science Education,' the authors claim computational science education in the United States is broken. We agree whole-heartedly with this assessment.
A more important point, however, is that it is not just HPC education that is broken, but there is a dire need to think of a cyberinfrastructure-enabled educational science, where information technology provides the necessary foundation to build pedagogy. If cyberinfrastructure is poised to change the way discoveries happen in science, technology, engineering as well as social and behavioral sciences, the educational system as a whole needs to reflect this urgency.
The overt presence of cyberinfrastructure in every aspect of our life -- starting from HDTV at home to high-speed cellphone networks -- throws into sharp relief the need to re-think education ground up given the recent advances in cyberinfrastructure (CI) sciences..."
