Editorial: Looking Back, Facing Forward

Abstract

With thanks for excellent service to departing co-editor Becky McKay Johnson, this is the first Informatics Education column under the sole current editor. A retrospective analysis of past columns identifies several major themes over the past six years. Different meanings for the term “informatics” are explored, and potential new areas for future Informatics Education columns are proposed.

Keywords:
