Hi Paul,

 

 

As I understand our discussion this morning, we are looking at a new paradigm in education about computers.  One which has integrated into it a focus on knowledge science, knowledge management, and content management.

 

“Content management" is kind of a vacuous term, since "content" really means "stuff", so we are talking about management of "stuff" ;-).

 

The goal of the proposal is to use Python 3 as a tool specifically tailored for use in these areas.

 

I am left with the impression that it involves putting tools into the hands of students and educators that empower them as both consumers and producers of knowledge. 

 

Thanks!
