Attending and presenting at the 6th Annual NJ CS Summit on Scalability and Diversity at Rutgers University. I am having a great day learning in person!
Learning how to use a servo motor with my micro:bit! Thank you Kean HUB for offering this awesome work shop with Diana Horvath! My brain is flooded with student project ideas.
Today on the #CSK8 podcast, @Jared_OLeary and @JorgeDoesPBL discuss the importance of engineering in #STEM, getting started with computational thinking and computer science, project-based learning, incorporating SEL in the classroom, and much more. https://t.co/W73nrNKSV8
STEM at its best! My 7th graders showed off their hand crafted input devices at ourArcade Game Showcase today. The inputs were built with cardboard, aluminum foil, MakeyMakey pcb and other house hold items. Especially proud of this Skee Ball game that worked every time!
Creativity and coding skills join forces for this awesome interactive card project. Check out one of the amazing projects my 8th graders made on @codeorg! https://t.co/3S0y0RHxDN #HourOfCode
Deeper understanding of computer systems with Makey Makey. Grade 7 students built their first simple input with a Makey Makey pcb and some Play-Doh. Fun and engaging STEM for a Monday morning. @makeymakey#csforall#cs4nj

Great feed back from my students: physically building a network really deepened their understanding. This was a CSP lesson from https://t.co/F5lhQK6lCk. I used it with 6th graders!
Figuring out how to implement the new NJSLS CS Standard. I am focusing on Networks and The Internet w my Gr 6 students but realized they didn’t have a good foundation. It was amazing what a physical network with string did for their understanding. Tks https://t.co/81P9xlkkRu!

Making a sandwich! Great unplugged introduction to algorithms. Original idea is from Intel’s Journey Inside The Computer. We got the bread on the plate and a tiny smear of cream cheese ( pb alternative due to allergies and my favorite in Middle School).
As schools reopen this fall, we call on the US federal government to fund computer science courses in K-12. President Biden has supported computer science and https://t.co/VYSjxTYFzK since this speech in 2014. /1
