I artikeln Stop Teaching Programming, Start Teaching Computational Thinking argumenterar Tom Igoe för att elever ska utbildas i datalogiskt tänkande.
Computational thinkers aren’t just programmers. They’re the people who can create lovely intricate patterns in Illustrator, or make a really cool gizmo in Minecraft, or make a MIDI synthesizer play crazy microtonal jazz solos. They understand not only how to make a computer speak, but they also have an imagination for what it could possibly say.
