4. Theater metaphors re agency One of my recent comments on a student quiz re "what is a namespace?" "names refer to objects in memory. Objects are the actors or agents who do the work of a script. The script controls their performance." We make waaaay to little of the fact that "program" and "programme" come from the same roots in theater, as does "script". If we weren't so brain damaged, in the sense of divorced from the humanities, computer science could be something much more wonderful. Perhaps maths will be where the healing takes place. Or it will vary by school, most likely. STEM / STEAM has a long way to do. Not nearly diverse enough, when it comes to andragogical techniques. Fortunately, we have the Internet now so it's much easier to both experiment and to poll viewers / audiences regarding what's working or not working (what's effective).
