>For students google log in is essential. Having to create an account, then click a link in an email, then use a site is too hard.
A truly withering indictment on these students. When even the simplest, most straightforward of tasks is "too hard" for students, the future is very bleak.
>So 99% of comp sci teachers are choosing sites with social logins.
An equally withering indictment of Computer Science teachers. I would certainly protest loudly if I was forced hand over my personal information to an intrusive, third-party corporation to participate in a class.
- monk_e_boy 9y agoha! I thought like you, then I became a teacher. Stuff like logins are so inconsequential compared to the rest of the lesson.
- StanislavPetrov 9y agoOn the contrary, I'd argue that the ability to perform simple tasks is a prerequisite to proper education. We are raising a generation of children unable to perform basic tasks.
- monk_e_boy 9y agohaha, my students are pretty smart. You have to remember that what we think as cutting edge is still hard work for a kid who's never seen a PC before.
