Hello! I am Jorge Franco and have taught English language at k-12 levels in São Paulo, Brazil. I have developed and used my coding skills to support English language teaching. This has brought about enhancing my research and digital abilities and inspiring students to amplify their English and digital literacy repertories. The educational activities have been related to utilizing web3D based information production and visualization technologies for stimulating educators and students’ coding skills acquisition in an integrated mood with teaching and learning scientific concepts from k-12 curriculum through building interactive 3D virtual reality environments. It has been a long term work which has resulted in a British Council scholarship for doing a Master in Sciences of Virtual Environments at the University of Salford, England. And currently with support of another scholarship from Mackpesquisa, I am doing my PhD research in Letters at Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The theme of my research is computational practice through stimulating coding literacy during the building of 3D digital virtual reality environments. Then, although the concept of critical code studies (CCS) is new for me, I believe that CCS can bring light for a deep comprehension why is relevant studying coding with support of information production and visualization at k-12 levels beyond a vision of enhancing individuals’ computer science skills. The following links are related to publications that explain the trajectory of this research work.

Hi Jan -- re:"here's a non-lurking thing" in your introduction -- extremely interesting. It would be wonderful if you would post that into the Week 1 thread so that it isn't hidden away from the discussion. It would be great to just include some or all of your gist inline to that discussion (this forum is markdown-enabled) -- or let me add it to the comment for you if that is too much cut-paste for you.

Mark presented a standard coding interview question: write code that permutes the characters in a string. The R one-liner isn't nearly as concise as I would have hoped, but then R isn't really known for string manipulation.
> str_permute <- function(x){ paste(strsplit(x, split="")[[1]][ sample( 1:(nchar(x)), nchar(x) ) ], collapse="") } > str_permute("abcdefghijk") [1] "jcakeifhbdg" >Not seeing a preview button.... well, let's see what this looks like.

barry.rountreeI put into Google and this is the first hit I got: https://rdrr.io/snippets/
Looks like it works.
