Just waiting for that day when all students take a computer science course to graduate from high school in California. Baby steps. #AB2097

Students working in groups graphing inequalities. Practice over lecture is my go to philosophy in teaching. Love the collaboration piece the most. I love being their teacher. @PerrisHigh

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Not as many students dressed up this year for Halloween. It is always fun to see what they dress up as.

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

I love the @desmos activity by @kurt_salisbury that allows my students to use physical algebra tiles when identifying like terms in polynomials. These lessons with manipulatives serve as great mental references later.

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

@kathyhen_ @kurt_salisbury @Desmos LOL. First time finding a magical person by finding his work before meeting him at a conference. Already wanting to use ONLY his work.

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Who is this @kurt_salisbury guy? His Desmos activities on factoring and multiplying using box methods and games are fire! Haven't taught Algebra 1 second semester in a bit so I appreciate all the activities in @Desmos.

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

I love this activity where the students line up based on where they stand in this spectrum and share their opinions based on the article they read. I had no student who felt that the world is better because of digital representation.

@ShrakeTechnolo1 @codeorg @PerrisHigh I switched over for the first time and noticed the participation rates are higher since you have 20 sheets of paper to work with and you have to think about balance as you buikd the tower.

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Instead of the aluminum boat activity, I tried the paper tower activity with my @codeorg CSD students this year. No spilled water. All kids folding and working. I may switch to this lesson to teach problem solving permanently. @PerrisHigh

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Great group of CS teachers! We are grateful to @codeorg for the resources and the training. Ready to use inclusive practices to provide equity for all children to access the cs field. @RCOE

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Computer Science Principles teachers making a list of formative assessment strategies. Followed up with a gallery walk. Good group of teachers getting to know the @codeorg curriculum in Riverside County. @rcoe

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Starting with a demonstration of linear search(kinesthetic learning), then coding using Parsons puzzle on color-coded sentence frame strips(use of manipulatives). This group of Florida teachers just keep making lessons better and better for our AP CSP students. @USFAnchin

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Students will love this logical operator activity where you move to the right or the left of the classroom depending on the color of your fruit loops in your cup. The activity got more intense as we ate our cereal and the && and || operators got into the mix. APSI @USouthFlorida

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

At the @USF APSI. Teachers presenting their lessons from their curriculum. We're learning teaching strategies from each other.

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Thanks to the PACK act passing into law in May 2022, the amazing @SCMS466duff is getting ready to teach CSP in 2023-24. We are hopeful for @SCHSBeavers!!!! She is so connected in her community and well respected.

The 2023 AP Computer Science Principles scores:
5: 12%; 4: 23%; 3: 33%; 2: 20%; 1: 12%.

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

% of AP Computer Science Principles students earning each point on the Create project (which is 30% of the AP score):
Program Purpose/Function: 59%
Data Abstraction: 72%
Managing Complexity: 37%
Procedural Abstraction: 46%
Algorithm Implementation: 47%
Testing: 41%

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

My favorite time of the year- learning from guest speakers! Thank you so much, software engineer Mr. Forth, for coming to @PerrisHigh and letting us know that projects in Github is an important tool if you want to get ahead in the CS field. @DeatraLee

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

Since the AP test is over, I told my CSA students to use #ChatGPT to make up their missing coding assignments. They had to work hard to get their coding assignments done. Unless the question is too simple, students have to know fundamentals of code to receive help. #chatgptFan

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

@martinsean I have them write on the board in pairs all the time and change seats each week. The students love explaining their thoughts. In CSA, they love reading each other's different approaches.

[Princess Choi-Carlson @MathPrincessC]

A template for my csa kids, hoping they won't leave FRQ#2 blank. I know I posted all late. #apcsa
