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. Through this course, educators will design integrated lessons for their classroom using CodeVA's Computer Science Integration Guide and explore pre-made lessons with our facilitators skilled at integrating Computer Science into their own K-8th grade classrooms.

Course Objectives

  • Expanded knowledge of the Virginia Computer Science Standards of Learning
  • Explore and identify conceptual connections between core curriculum and computer science
  • Create lessons that weave computer science into core content areas to build a foundation of applying computer science related concepts
  • Learn how to determine the right depth of integration for teaching computer science related topics

Prerequisites
