"SIGCSE provides an important forum for computer science education research, and it is unfortunate that this year's conference was canceled. In this four-part series, I'm excited to share some learnings and practical takeaways relevant to K-12 CS teachers to help ensure practitioners benefit from this great work. This second part focuses on K-12 instructional strategies. Part 1 of the series introduced a variety of research takeaways. Parts 3 and 4 on assessment and curricula will be published later this week."

South Coast Today
A study offers a suite of proposals its authors say would improve computer science education in K-12 schools, including providing more clarity on what such classes are intended to teach. The Pioneer Institute study said computer science has a "surprisingly small footprint in the nation’s public schools," offered by 45 percent of public high schools.

The Next Web
Across the world, the conversion of information into a digital format — also called "digitalization" — has increased productivity in the public and private sectors. As a result, virtually every country in the world is working towards a digital economy. As this new economy evolves, special skills like computer programming are needed. This is like a language of numbers, known as code, which allows people to write instructions that are executed by computers. The goal is to create something: from a web page to an image, to a piece of software.

Women are the heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic. We make up the majority of healthcare workers globally. We are innovating on ways to digitally track the pandemic. We are leading nations with the best responses to the virus. It's a cruel irony then that our girls — the next generation of heroes — risk bearing the brunt of this crisis and might come out of this worse off than the generation of women before them.

Most Americans expect schools to reopen in the fall, but a stunning number of teachers and students may not be there. In an exclusive USA TODAY/Ipsos poll, 1 in 5 teachers say they are unlikely to go back to school if their classrooms reopen in the fall, a potential massive wave of resignations. Though most teachers report working more than usual, nearly two-thirds say they haven't been able to properly do their jobs in an educational system upended by the coronavirus.

District Administration Magazine
Rachelle Dene Poth, a contributor for District Administration Magazine, writes: "Over the past few weeks, I have seen an increase in the number of articles about emerging technologies, such as the use of artificial intelligence and augmented and virtual reality. In my eighth-grade course called 'STEAM: What's Next in Emerging Technology,' these are some of my favorite topics to cover, and I love to ask students for their thoughts about them during our weekly meetings. Of course, I would prefer to teach these topics and interact with students in the classroom, but during this time of remote learning, there are tools for providing similar experiences outside the classroom."
