I wanted to start this blog post by thanking you for the thoughtful contributions to our recent Twitter Chat on design thinking in the Computer Science classroom.

Summer break is here! Take a deep breath and pat yourself on the back for making it through the trials, tribulations, and successes of the past year.

From June 17 through June 21, community ambassador Linda Sweeting hosted a "slow" Twitter chat. Each day, she asked a question about the how's and why's of adding CS into your elementary classroom.

 

 

I am a big proponent of teachers attending conferences. The annual Computer Science Teachers Association conference has become one of my summer highlights every year.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has reinvigorated their CS Bits and Bytes newsletter, with an exciting line-up of issues for the year. Each issue highlights innovative computer science research.

Are you looking for a quick, unplugged activity to check for understanding or misconceptions of programming concepts? Try using selective highlighting with snippets of code!

We’re several months into 2019, and this year I set a goal to read more computer science books and learn a new programming language. Did you make any resolutions for the new year?  

Spring is in full swing, but it wasn't long ago that winter seemed to have no end in sight. During those cold gray days, I was looking to mix up the programming assignments in my high school Introduction to Computer Science course.
