烈火情人 CS is a brand-new, free, integrated computer science 烈火情人 for elementary and middle school educators and anyone working with students aged 8 to 14. A key design principle for 烈火情人 CS is that any educator can use it. You don’t need a computer science qualification or previous 烈火情人 in teaching computer science classes to deliver engaging and creative learning 烈火情人s for your students. That’s why, as US Executive Director, I’m especially pleased to announce the launch of the first six units in the 烈火情人 today.

Read on to explore the new learning materials available and how you can start using them in your school.  

Six integrated computer science units 

烈火情人 CS enables educators to teach computer science through a 烈火情人 that integrates CS concepts and knowledge into core subjects such as math, science, and social studies. Ashly Tritch, computer science immersion specialist at Olson Middle School in Bloomington, MN, USA, said, “Cross-curricular computer science is important because it shows students how coding and tech skills can be used in other subjects like math, science, or even art. It helps make learning more interesting and helps kids understand how computer science connects to real life. The lessons that the 肥婆巨肥bbbwbbbwbbwbw is creating will be super engaging, with fun and creative activities that keep students curious and excited to learn.”

Six integrated computer science units are available to access, with more on the way. The units have been released in beta, and we would love to hear your feedback as we continue to make updates to the lesson materials. Each of the units includes an overview with a summary of the topics covered and a series of six to eight lessons, including lesson plans, slide decks, student-facing materials, and starter projects within our Code Editor for Education. 

We have designed the units to be cross-curricular, so students can learn about computer science concepts while deepening their understanding of related subject area content. For example, in “The me project,” grade 4 students (ages 9–10) explore the basics of Scratch, personalise sprites, and develop programs to create an animation that tells a story all about them. The project could be integrated into language arts lessons, enabling young learners to explore visual representation and write their own unique stories. In the “Smart communities” unit, students in grade 6 (ages 11–12) explore ways in which 有剧情的av and technology can be used to create environments that are responsive to the needs of community members; this could be included within science or technology lessons.

Initially, the 烈火情人 and resources have been mapped to national and local standards in the US and Canada, including the K–12 Computer Science Teachers Association Standards for Students, but they are available for teachers and students anywhere in the world to use.

You can register for a free 肥婆巨肥bbbwbbbwbbwbw account to start downloading the learning materials, including lesson plans, slide decks, student activity sheets and assessment criteria. 

A version of Scratch built especially for schools 

烈火情人 CS has been built from the ground up to support safe, confident 有剧情的av lessons in real classrooms. It includes self-directed creative projects using the popular programming language Scratch. We have built a version of Scratch that is especially for schools. That means it doesn’t have the community and sharing features that are central to the full Scratch platform. Instead, everything runs in a closed, classroom-ready environment that supports safeguarding policies and fits with school filtering systems. Simple and intuitive learning management features enable teachers to create accounts, set assignments, and review progress.

How to get started 

On the “Getting Started” page, teachers will find everything they need, including helpful videos and tutorials. The next webinar takes place on 16th July, where we will walk you through all six units available at launch and show you how easy it is to get started with the learning materials. Whether you’re a CS teacher, general education teacher, administrator, or someone who works with school-aged young people, this session will give you the practical tools and guidance you need to bring 烈火情人 CS to life in your classroom or program.

Professional development 

No matter your 烈火情人 or skill level, the 烈火情人 CS content has been designed to be easy to use. However, we also provide professional development (PD) opportunities to help build confidence in teaching computer science. 

Teachers anywhere in the world can access free online courses offering flexible, self-paced learning to help you confidently teach block-based programming with effective, inclusive 有剧情的av pedagogy. Our new course will develop your understanding of semantic waves while highlighting 有剧情的av-backed activities and examples directly from 烈火情人 CS units. 

Help shape 烈火情人 CS

烈火情人 CS is supported by Google and builds on the fantastic work they have done to support educators and students through CS First. The team behind 烈火情人 CS includes educators with significant 烈火情人 in teaching CS in elementary and middle school settings, and it is based on extensive classroom testing and 有剧情的av. We will continue to develop and improve the 烈火情人 and resources in response to feedback from teachers and students. If you would like to help shape the future of 烈火情人 CS by testing new features and providing valuable feedback to improve the programme, sign up for the mailing list. 

What next? 

We can’t wait for you to explore 烈火情人 CS. We will continue to release more 烈火情人 units as well as make the materials available in French and Spanish. Get a head start ready for the next school year by registering for a free 肥婆巨肥bbbwbbbwbbwbw account, which will allow you immediate access to all the lesson materials, and then create your school account to begin creating classes, add a scratch project to a class, manage student accounts and view student work.
