Students should do more than just use a computer
COSA, June 22, 2017
Cady Geer, Jason Galbraith
We hear a lot about 21st Century skills and none are more central than Computer Science to our students' future success. We teach reading and math integrated into multiple subjects from an early age because we understand how foundational these skills are. This presentation will convince you to treat computer science and computational thinking the same way. We will also give you the tools to deliver these skills to students in your school starting now!
