Connected Educator Month 2016

As technology continues to blur the lines between playing and learning, we will discuss practical ways to leverage emerging technologies to subtly shift students from play to computer science while using peripherals to bring CS off the screen and literally into the classroom. Join Michael Stone of devX PD and Tom Heck of MakeyMakey to learn more.

Building a collaborative classroom culture is critical to success in teaching computer science. At the heart of building that culture are the computational practices of communication and collaboration. This webinar will focus on a variety of inquiry strategies and equitable practices that can be combined to increase student skill in both communication and collaboration.

During this informative webinar, we will discuss the areas of focus for the Explore Performance Task (PT) in AP Computer Science Principles. Participants will learn what master teachers are doing in their classrooms to implement the Explore PT successfully. Art Lopez and Beth Simon will share student sample responses and discuss the specifications listed in the PT as well as explain how to respond to them against the College Board provided rubrics.
