Should Schools Makes CS/Cybersecurity a High School Graduation Requirement?
“We just have such a good relationship with the community. We were also excited about Doug Burgum’s election as governor. We had confidence that Doug, as governor, would bring a real focus on innovation that would focus on both changes in government and changes in technology.” Before being elected Governor in 2016 (with the endorsement of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and financial backing from Bill Gates), former Microsoft exec Burgum sold his Fargo-based Great Plains Software business to Microsoft in 2002 for $1.1 billion and joined the software giant, where he reported directly to Steve Ballmer (a college friend) and managed Nadella (who became chief of Microsoft Business Solutions after Burgum’s 2007 departure).
“We need a national movement for coding and computer science in our public schools […] We need to influence, we need to support, we need to reform public policy as we’re seeing here in North Dakota,” Microsoft’s Smith exhorted to TEDxFargo attendees in his return to North Dakota. “We need to make sure that computer science counts towards high school graduation.” Mission accomplished. On Friday, North Dakota’s governor Doug Burgum and School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler celebrated the governor’s signing of HB1398, the Microsoft-supported bill which requires the teaching of computer science and cybersecurity and the integration of these content standards into school coursework from kindergarten through 12th grade. (Two of the ten members of North Dakota’s K-12 CS and Cybersecurity Standards Review Committee were from Microsoft).
The superintendent said North Dakota is the first state in the nation to approve legislation requiring cybersecurity education. “Today is the culmination of years of work by stakeholders from all sectors to recognize and promote the importance of cybersecurity and computer science education in our elementary, middle and high schools,” superintendent Baesler said at Friday’s bill signing ceremony.
Baesler said EduTech, a division of bill supporter North Dakota Information Technology that provides IT support and professional development for K-12 educators, will be developing examples of cybersecurity and computer science education integration plans that may be used to assist local schools develop their own plans. EduTech is a Regional Partner of tech-backed nonprofit Code.org, which also voiced its support for HB1398. Code.org’s Board of Directors include Microsoft President Brad Smith and CTO Kevin Scott. Burgum, who joined Code.org’s Governors Partnership for K-12 Computer Science in 2017, was also among 45 of the nation’s State Governors who last July signed a Compact To Expand K-12 Computer Science Education in their states in response to a public letter from the CEOs for CS (including Microsoft’s Nadella and Smith), part of a campaign organized by Code.org that called for state governments and education leaders to bring more CS to K-12 students to meet the future demands of the American workforce. Code.org has set a goal to make CS a high school graduation requirement for every student in all 50 states by the end of the decade.

Redfall studio looking into reversing always online requirement for single-player
Arkane is working to eliminate the always online requirement to play Redfall in single-player.
Speaking with Eurogamer, game director Harvey Smith said the team is working to make offline single-player a possibility.
The studio is considering removing the requirement due to backlash from the community.
Arkane are “fixing” Redfall’s always-online requirement
Arkane’s upcoming co-op shooter found itself in hot water when fans heard of Redfall’s always-online requirement, even when playing alone. This deflated some longtime Arkane fans since their other immersive sims – between Dishonoured, Prey, and Deathloop – had either no online functionality or were still playable offline. Thankfully, in an interview with Eurogamer, game director Harvey Smith said the team are now working to U-turn the decision.
