CSTA
In honor of Computer Science Education Week, CSTA has released new resources for K–12 teachers.
- Classroom Resources: We've created a set of 10 posters that feature diverse people using computer science for good in diverse industries and ways, along with supplementary resources and instructional guidance. Check them out.
- Standards for Computer Science Teachers: We released the 2020 CSTA Standards for Computer Science Teachers, which provides clear guidelines on what computer science educators should know and be able to do in the classroom.
We'd love to see how you're utilizing these resources in your classroom. Tweet us @csteachersorg.
The Advocate (commentary)
Dan Blier, CSTA Board of Directors (District Representative), writes: "One main purpose of computer science education is to prepare students for industry. Without industry partnerships, our CS programs may not be preparing students for the workplace. As part of my responsibilities of building and support a Pre-K through 12 grade CS program, I work with several industry partners."

Minecraft, which hit its 10-year anniversary this year, is currently the second best-selling video game ever—only beat out by Tetris. The game is what's called a "sandbox," where players move around freely and use pixelated "blocks" to build whatever they want, from functioning virtual computers to a replica of the entire country of Denmark. Over 100 million people play the game, and estimates suggest that kids under 15 are the biggest demographic.

A recent McAfee survey of 1,000 college students and recent graduates ages 18 to 25 revealed some startling statistics on how little this tech-savvy cohort knows about data security. As many as 80 percent of students surveyed said either they or a friend or family member had been affected by a cyberattack. Despite that, 43 percent said they believed that they wouldn't ever be a victim of a cybercrime. The consequence? Shockingly poor data hygiene.
