"Loved being able to dive into some of the programs and learn about more resources for next year! Being in-person really helped with collaboration."
"I learned about the California Computer Science Standards for K-5, and specifically focused on grades K-2. I also learned a lot about a variety of online tools available for coding and other tools that relate to computer science. I loved that there are so many options that are available and FREE for schools that are unable to purchase additional resources for the upcoming school year."
"I learned a lot today including: ideas for planning for my classroom (I even started my scope and sequence for the year as my school's instructional technology coordinator), practiced lesson planning and utilizing semantic wave theory in planning, and so much more!"
"Today I learned a lot about the actual application of the semantic waves and lesson planning specifically using CS standards. I also learned a lot about CS programs and resources that are out there and developed a way to evaluate them using our adoption spreadsheet!"Â
"MaryAnn's multi-grade level plan was helpful to me because it shows all the behind the scenes instructional planning that goes on before a lesson ever gets taught. If I'd felt a bit adrift before, it's a gentle reminder that I can do this one step at a time."
"[I learned] how to examine if a resource, website or curriculum is useful or usable. Created some take home activities I can use in my classroom next year, as well as chose some curriculum (code.org) that I can move forward with for next year."
