For their midterm performance assessment AP Comp Sci Principles students created lessons to teach 5th graders how to use the MIT developed Scratch programming language. What a great collaboration!
Our new Cybersecurity class through Project Lead the Way has students in a virtual lab to explore password protection and authentication. Is your password secure? π» @PLTWorg
AP Computer Science Principles students acted out how a message is actually sent from one user to another, including what could happen along the way - some strong network congestion and software threats made for many dropped packets!
So proud to be a recipient of the @collegeboard Female Diversity Award for AP CSP. Thank you to all of my @linslyschool students for all their hard work. One of only three schools in the state to be recognized with this honor.
It's Computer Science Week! AP CS students are working with our 5th and 6th Graders during STEAM to teach the fundamentals of coding. #csweek#learnleadlive
Some of my junior interns are working on special projects during their James F Companion Leadership sessions - today was with members of our Varsity Girls' Basketball Team. They will create some intro videos and social media graphics with their photos soon!
I was thrilled my alma mater @KentState sent an admissions counselor to Linsly last month! It was great to hear all the updates and help answer questions from any students considering Kent State! Thanks David for the special follow up gift!
#apcsp students and I are discussing why a programming language is different than spoken language. Using Legos they had to create a design, write instructions to have someone recreate their design exactly.
More good news: this yearβs AP Computer Science A students demonstrated slightly stronger mastery than last yearβs, so scores have risen, even as educators have expanded access to 19% more students than the prior school year.
On the last day of class Bridget surprised me with a hilarious shirt to sign! I respect the students that go outside their comfort zone and try #apcsp each year! And for the record, she ended with an A! π»
The irony of having #apcsa test this afternoon after the failure of the @collegeboard Bluebook situation this morning is not lost on me. Hire some of these CS students to fix the issues! I know my students are prepared and able!
