## Infrastructure

- Tools, platforms, interfaces for teaching and learning in and out of school
- CS curricula, teacher preparation program
- Tools for research

This diagram is my attempt to bring together conceptions of literacy from the
learning sciences and from the field of new literacies. At the top you can see
practices at the cognitive, the situated, and the critical scales. One axis of
literacy is radial. We can ask questions about literacy practices at and across different scales.

Literacy is about communities of practice reading and writing texts, broadly understood. It's about symbolic systems.
Different infrastructural technologies--books, Twitter, the law--have different
possibilities for practice at each scale. So a second axis is the relationship
between infrastructure and practice.

## Goals

Two long-standing challenges in scaling up access to high-quality secondary CS:

1. Lack of high school CS course offerings
2. Lack of qualified CS teachers.

Are there reciprocal benefits to designing solutions to both 
problems at the same time? Both problems depend on building a 
broadly-shared vision of how and why computer science will become part of the school.

# Research priorities

Theory: Put people, communities, language, and culture at the center

Subjectivity: Focus on social understandings and definitions of tech

Groundedness: Core epistemic issues emerge through implementation
