Computer Science Integration

Computer Science Integration helps teachers explore the Computer Science Standards of Learning and learn how to best integrate them into other content areas with students.

Description

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the computer science conceptual strands and focus on methods to help identify overlapping topics and concepts.
