Why computer science in K-12 by Code.orgPeerasak C.
Computer science drives innovation throughout the US economy, but it remains marginalized throughout K-12 education.
Only 33 states allow students to count computer science courses toward high school graduation.
There are currently 517,393 open computing jobs nationwide.
Last year, only 42,969 computer science students graduated into the workforce.

"Summary of source data for Code.org infographics and stats
Computing occupations make up ⅔ of all projected new jobs in STEM fields
The source for these data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Projections (http://www.bls.gov/emp/tables.htm). The projection for new computing jobs is 548,200 from 2014-2024. Projections for all other STEM jobs combined is 288,400 over the same period.
When comparing Employment Projections data to Computer Science graduates, only STEM and computing jobs that require a bachelor’s degree are included (i.e., jobs that require associate’s degrees or less, master’s degrees, and doctoral degrees are not included in these projection summaries). In this case, the projection for new computing jobs that require a bachelor’s degree is 413,500, versus 165,600 in all other STEM fields combined. This is a 71:29 ratio of jobs in Computing versus the rest of STEM.
For STEM occupations, we use the SOC codes that the BLS defined as STEM in the “Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Information Technology Domain” (http://www.bls.gov/soc/Attachment_A_STEM.pdf and http://www.bls.gov/soc/Attachment_B_STEM.pdf).
For computing occupations, we use all of the occupations listed under “Computer Occupations” SOC 15-1100, as well as additional individual codes in other categories that are clearly computer science occupations. Specific codes for both classifications are listed below. Note that these codes include occupations at all degree levels."

Do we unconsciously communicate through our visual representation to the world? Through the way we visually present ourselves and our surroundings/ environment? Is it possible to really 'don't judge a book by its cover'?

The Long Road from Reactive to Proactive: Developing an Accessibility Strategy3Play Media
Implementing accessibility policies in higher education is no easy task. For many, it is easy to get caught in a cycle of reactive accommodation where larger accessibility policies are never implemented. So how do you transition from reactive policies to proactive policies?
Korey Singleton, the Assistive Technology Initiative Manager at George Mason University, will walk you through their two-year process of moving from reactive solutions to proactive accessibility policies. His own experience with how difficult it can be to shift campus climate and administrative support towards proactive accessibility is incredibly useful for other universities struggling with the same thing. His detailed presentation will provide insight into how George Mason has overcome these challenges and developed a proactive approach to accessibility.
This webinar will cover:
- Collaborative strategies for campus-wide IT accessibility
- Strategies for getting faculty to use and create accessible material
- George Mason's accessibility policies & recent updates
- Workflow, collaboration, and policy recommendations
- Resources for accessibility training and testing
- Analysis of completed accessible media requests by fiscal year

13. EAD skills in Job Hunting Interview Questions: The development and support person/team will leave after one year, how can other staff continue to maintain the service? What equipments do you need for the project, and how would you use them? After we implemented a software solution in our organisation, we found that the users were not satisfied. What would the reasons be? How would you deal with multiple competing tasks? (Don’t just say you will give the more important tasks priority)

Editor's Notes
The statement of “wrong software lead to a bad result” is problematic, because it doesn’t take the enterprise architecture into account. When the employer interviewed me, I pointed out this problem.
