Wow! I was awarded an NSF grant!
I'm so excited to have the opportunity to support CS teaching and learning in the state of Virginia. I can't wait to dig in with my amazing team of computer science educators on this project!!

I've create a workbook for all of my test prep materials for Computer Science Principles class and put it up on Teachers Pay Teachers. Might come in handy for some of you who are moving to online instruction. Almost everything in it is unplugged! #APCSP

I always enjoy having @ArtLadyHBK as a guest lecturer in my JMU Creativity class. We learned about sketch notes, drawing and watercolor!

"Even students who will not need to program at all are likely to have important encounters with computational thinking later in life. Philosophers, politicians, reporters and, well, everyone must address privacy, security and ethical issues in software." buff.ly/31ZCGX8

Today the internet is 50 years old.
The internet & the web it enabled have changed billions of lives for the better. But their power for good is under threat.
This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want.

"Whether you take computer science in high school or learn to code later in a boot camp, you’re increasingly likely to learn practical skills and digital literacy, not theory, useful whether you go into engineering or use some light coding at your job." 🙌 buff.ly/2OPNEM7
