High School Computer Science Classroom

by bijal

Apr 23

In my experience in computer science classrooms, I have found that computer science is often best taught in a lab environment where the students are given multiple days to finish a project and are allowed to ask questions whenever they get stuck on a problem. However, this means that there aren't any lectures happening. The students are learning fr...See More

Brandon Baldomero Do you have a program that lets you monitor what students are doing on their computers? I know there are a lot that let you see what students are doing and lets you send images to their computer or take it over if they are off track. I would suggest having that program to ensure that students are working and allowing them to use the computer recrea...See More

Access Data Base

by MATHpiRATE

May 14, 2017

I am trying to figure out a quick and easy way to have name, date, table number and block number to automatically print out to pdf (for an entire block or for all my students).

Other than have them write it themselves.

Anyone use Microsoft Access?

Learn to code with this STEM fidget spinner

by Nuri

Jul 27, 2017

Hi,

I am thinking for a while about how to teach young generation coding in a funny way. I come up with an idea of a fidget spinner with RGB LEDs and a microcontroller. This idea succeeded in attracting teachers' and parents' attention. But the most important part of the project is drawing students' attraction. Of course being a fidget spi...See More

Hour of Code /Minecraft Adventurer

by Michael

Mar 13, 2017

I am a volunteer in an after-school program. I see some students struggling. If the student is writing some instructions to navigate a maze, such as, Forward, Forward, Right, Forward, Left and the student makes a mistake, then the student has difficulty seeing where his instructions do not correspond to the correct path. If students makes a wrong t...See More

for those who finish early

by Susienews

Feb 22, 2017

Hi there, I've taught Tech for many years. My lesson plans included 4 or 5 activities a day. I would move the activities down as the students finished them, and then add a new activity to the top. The class starter was always a typing keyboard warmup. My students loved Classic Tales Typing....especially the ones that were numbered in the 20 - 30 as...See More

Students who finish early

by bgmx

Nov 30, 2016

I'm trying to help a co-worker who is having a challenge, but I've never taught computers, so I'm unsure how to help. I teach elementary school. She teaches middle school and also 11th and 12th grade, and several of her students consistently finish early. She's a first year teacher and doesn't know what to have the students do when they finish an a...See More

MrsNewton One option would be to let them work on self-paced tutorials in code.org.

Mitch I'm not big on "busy work". I don't want my students coloring, doing cross-word puzzles/word searches, or drawing. My first "go to" is to have the student become a class helper. IF another student is having issues with a part of the assignment, they can call on their classmate who is "done" before asking me for help. O...See More

chromebooks v. PCs

by Michael O

Nov 10, 2016

My K-5 school has an aging computer lab. We have been integrating chromebooks throughout the school, and have a modest supply at each grade level (not one-to-one). My principal is trying to decide whether to buy new PCs for the lab, or simply purchase more chromebooks. Should we go Google monoculture, or maintain some computing diversity?
