CSTA is currently looking for CS teacher-leaders to participate in a virtual Computer Science for English Learners Pilot Year program starting in July 2020. Computer science is the fastest-growing subject in the U.S., yet English learners are dramatically under-represented in these courses. CSforEL is a new four-year research project funded by the U.S. Department of Education, to attract, retain, and engage English learners in AP Computer Science Principles.

We needed to reach our girls. We couldn't risk losing progress on closing the gender gap in tech. And we refused to let the COVID-19 pandemic stop us. The idea of a long-term shift toward virtual schooling fills me with dread and excitement at the same time.

Not all districts or all schools have been able to make this move, but a vast majority of them have done well, all things considered.

Zoom, the online video conferencing tool, has taken the internet by storm since many of us became stuck at home and unable to see others in person. That's partly because it works well and is easy to use. Zoom shortcuts can make online video classes even more streamlined. Shortcuts are the use of a combination of keyboard keys to quickly interact with the system. As such these shortcuts are only for use with the Zoom apps, rather than when used in a browser window.
