Not related to a Q, but I tried MIT's AI MS curriculum & it's awesome! I used AI for Oceans on Code.or for machine learning, The Teachable Machine & Most LIkely Machine. Tied in black history month & how POC have been discriminated against in facial recognition programs. #csk8

Q5 To learn vocabulary I use kahoots/blookets/quizizz as that's low on the bloom level...a little higher up, I show students a piece of code, then ask them to identify concepts and predict what the code will do. I also give bugged projects and have students fix the bug. #csk8

Q3: Honestly, I need more unplugged activities. One that comes to mind is the Conditional card game on code.or#csk8

Q2: When a kid asks for help, I ask, "What needs to happen 1st? 2nd..." What's the end goal? What works? Where does it fail?" If I see the problem I point them in the right direction.."Look at your conditional in this section. Is there anything that could be changed? #csk8

My students are obsessed with the game, Among Us, right now. Anyone have ideas for ways to bring this into a lesson or classroom experience? #GBL #Games4Ed #EdTech #Gamification #EdChat #Techlikeapirate #Teachlikeapirate

Excited to be attending #CSTA2020, thanks to the generous support of @facebookedu. Thank you for the opportunity to expand my #CSeducation.
This summer I read Mitch Reznick's, LifeLong Kindergarten. Today I started the Learning Creative Learning Challenge & it was a good reminder that we need students developing divergent thinking skills through projects, passion, peers, and play.@ScratchEdTeam #CreativeComputing

Ed Campos Sunday Keynote--Amazing. Different Representations of math. Memorable quotes: “PEMDAS is my moist.” “I do, we do, you do; doo doo.” “Tacos marinated by Tapatios and tears.” “What is your orange sauce?” And his speech ended with a rap. #FallCUE #WeAreCUE

Esports is a booming industry. People are making $$ on tournaments, networking, scripting, recording, shoutcasters, social media, etc. These jobs will grow! (Talk about jobs that don’t exist yet!) Esports builds the 4Cs & Ss can get scholarships. Joining NASEF!#FallCUE #WeAreCUE

Keynote Speaker-Catlin Tucker Spoke about work/life balance, importance of grading product not process, development of metacognition through goal setting and reviewing if they’ve met the goal, and providing real time feedback. Good way to kick off the day. #FallCUE #WeAreCUE
