101: The Ways We Learn

❝ For many, the idea of learning to code conjures an image of a person working alone. Perhaps a mathematically inclined person who just ‘gets it’? In episode 8 we meet Lynn Scarff, Director of Science Gallery Dublin, who’s learning to code with Niamh Scanlon, EU Digital Girl of the Year, 2015. Sharing her experiences of learning in a community of other young people, Niamh challenges Lynn to see coding as a creative way to solve problems with others. This leads Jane and I to discuss the communities in which we learn many things. We speak to Noah Finkelstein from the University of Colorado on how learning is inherently a social enterprise where communities not only help to shape our learning, but also negotiate what should be learned. ❞  —Shane Bergin www.101thepodcast.com Credits: Hosted by Shane Bergin | Jane Chadwick Featuring Lynn Scarff | Niamh Scanlon | Noah Finkelstein Produced by Bureau  Music by Chris Zabriskie Supported by Science Foundation Ireland
