CSTA
The CSTA 2019 Annual Conference is coming up quickly! Will you be joining us from July 7–10, in Phoenix?
Don't miss out on:
- Teacher and New York Times reporter Natasha Singer on what she learned while developing and teaching a tech innovation ethics course to high school students.
- CS educator, researcher, and Exploring Computer Science co-creator Joanna Goode on how teachers can shift the discussion beyond just making computer science available to students and toward preparing teachers to act for equity with intention in the CS classroom.
- Four days of classroom content created by and for K–12 teachers.
Secure your spot for the conference before it's too late!

Just one out of every two hundred high school students in Georgia takes a computer science course before graduating, but new legislation signed by Gov. Brian Kemp this month aims to change that. The new law, which will become active July 1, mandates a gradual increase in required computer science offerings at high schools throughout the state.

You wouldn't just randomly choose a tool from your toolbox and feel confident it was the right one to cut a board or attach a hinge. Same goes for a school makerspace. Like everything in ed tech, it's not enough to have a bunch of shiny gadgets in your makerspace. You need to have the right materials to meet your goals. Vinnie Vrotny, director of technology at The Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas, understands how tempting it is to fill a space with the latest devices. But before you do, here are eight questions you should ask to determine if you're choosing wisely.

Computational thinking is one of the biggest buzzwords in education — it's even been called the "5th C" of 21st century skills. While it got its start as a way to help computer scientists think more logically about data analysis, lately it's been catching on with instructors in a diverse number of subjects — from science to math to social studies. One reason for its emerging popularity? It's engaging.

A teenager wakes up, gets ready for school. Slips a smartphone into her pocket on the way out the door. Her day may well include some biology or chemistry, history, algebra, English and Spanish. It likely won't include lessons on how that smartphone — more powerful than the computers aboard the Apollo moon missions — and its myriad colorful apps actually work.

THE Journal
New science standards have been adopted in some form by forty-three states (the most recent being Maine), based on some combination of the Next Generation Science Standards and the National Research Council's Framework for K-12 Science Education. But that's hardly the final word for instilling more STEM into the classroom. A new report from Achieve, a survey among state education agencies on science policy, has found that there needs to be more work done by states to emphasize required instructional time for science in early grades, establish a course sequence for science topics in middle school and match graduation requirements with state-defined science learning for high school.

 Research shows that active learning is much more effective than passively listening to a lecture. Brilliant uses the active learning approach by teaching through problems with logical steps, breaking them up into bite sized concepts, presenting clear thinking in each part, and then building back up to an interesting conclusion. Rote memorization is not learning - supercharge your lessons with Brilliant.

Educators looking to engage students more deeply in science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects may want to consider including humor and outside-the-box projects. That's the findings of a survey of 1,100 U.S. high school students, conducted by the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in April 2019. Students who participated took part in the MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge organized by SIAM.

Brittany Ciana panicked when she learned she would have to teach computer science in addition to fifth-grade math. Her mind raced back to her last experience with the subject: a frustrating programming class in high school. That reluctance seemed far behind her on a recent spring day, when Ciana zipped through a lesson on how to program micro-controllers at P.S./I.S. 217 on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan. After quickly quizzing her class on the components of a computer, Ciana drifted from student to student to help them make palm-sized chips flash their names in red lights.

Last school year, Elenisa Vasquez led a pilot initiative in the Laredo, Texas, Independent School District to incorporate virtual reality technology into instruction for elementary and middle school students at two schools. The program has been viewed as so successful that this year it expanded to include all 20 elementary schools and four middle schools. Each school has a classroom set of 20 RobotLAB VR devices preloaded with the Google Expeditions, Discovery and Cardboard Camera apps.

Most states have at least one policy related to computer science education, but Wyoming is one of just six states with a plan for how to bring computer science into every Wyoming classroom in the state, according to Code.org. Microsoft's TechSpark initiative recognized the state's efforts with a $95,000 grant to support strategic planning at the district level.
