Technology Links

This is an archived page for the 2016-2017 Club Year.

Girls Who Code Clubs rely on several pieces of technology for the club to run smoothly. Below are some of the technologies we use. All of these resources are free to club participants.

Canvas

Canvas is a Learning Management System (LMS) that is the center of education in a Girls Who Code Club. Assignments, Pre/Post Tests, and more are all stored in Canvas for accessibility and ease. Here, instructors take attendance, review and grade assignments as complete, and create real-time digital interaction inside their Girls Who Code community via Collaborations.

Instructor Forums

Piazza is a tool for GWC Club instructors across the country to get support from each other and from the national GWC curriculum and teaching teams throughout the year. Piazza is for instructors only (sorry, students).
