But once students opt to take the class, they start learning computer coding through basic programs like Alice, then move on to Flash, JavaScript, ActionScript, and other coding languages.<\/p>\n<p>Since the students in the Fort Worth, Texas, school are focused on digital-game creation, often they don\u2019t even realize they\u2019re learning computer coding, Thomas says. The \u201cmarketing\u201d ploy of labeling the course digital-game design has had an impact, she says. Computer science wasn\u2019t a popular course at the low-income school, which has struggled over the past few years to bring test scores up, but the digital-gaming elective has gone from 22 students its first year to 45 this school year, and 81 are projected for the next school year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we get the hook into them through gaming, then when they go to college they can see there\u2019s a whole lot more offered in computer science,\u201d Thomas says. \u201cIf you major in computer science, your world is really open.\u201d&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><span>tags:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/gaming\">gaming<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/education\">education<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/engagement\">engagement<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/learning\">learning<\/a><\/p>\n<ul class=\"diigo-comments\">\n<li>I don&#8217;t like the &#8220;stealth&#8221; idea, but it seems to work.
