Preparing High Schools Students for the App Economy with Alex Leonard
Want to prepare high school students for the App Economy? In this week's episode, we are highlighting a past webinar we held for Month of Swift. We were privileged to learn from Virginia educator, Alex Leonard.
Alex holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's Degree in School Law and Policy Studies, and has been an educator of computer science courses for over 16 years. He's taught postsecondary and secondary dual enrollment courses in Programming, Game Design, Database Design and Sciences, Cybersecurity, Networking and Web Development and Design. Additionally, he's taught middle school STEAM courses which lead into the computer science and engineering courses available in his school district.
Currently, he's coaching a FIRST Lego League (FLL), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics, and PUNCH autonomous drone teams for Carroll County Middle and High Schools. Alex believes that education is more than just content, education is building life-long skills that are the foundation of successful individuals. The teacher's role should be that of a coach, guiding students to learn the content. As industry and culture change, so should teaching methods. Alex embraces change and adapts his teaching to suit the needs of his individual students.
Alex shares his perspective of the App Development with Swift program. He talked about how he gets his students excited and engaged with app development, how he showcases his students work, and his advice for fellow coding teachers.
