My Latest Project CodeVA
So anyone that has spent more than five minutes with me in the past three months has heard an earful about our new project. CodeVA is a non-profit focused on bringing computer science education to students and teachers across Virginia.
Launching in summer 2014 CodeVA brings two initiatives:
- Teacher Training
- In partnership with Code.org CodeVA is working with four Virginiaschool districts to train new computer science teachers.
- Summer Camps
- To bring computer science to kids across central Virginia CodeVA is running five summer camps.

Internet Safety project continues!
We are still working on our Internet Safety project. Since I havent said anything about it in a while, please make sure to check the rubric at the bottom of the Internet Safety page on the blog to remind yourself what you need to accomplish. Also, keep in mind the theme of "Would a 3rd grader understand what you are creating?" In other words, make it simple.

Start Internet Safety Project
Today we will begin working on the Internet Safety project. You will be working with a partner on this project, so we are going to discuss how you can make sure that you both have access to the same information using your Google Drive and documents.
Once we complete that we will take a look at the Internet Safety page on the blog. Here you will find all the information you will need for this project. You are welcome to do your own search outside of what you find on the blog, but my research has shown me that what is listed here is plenty to help you cover what you will be doing with the project.
You and your partner will need to decide on 4 areas of Internet Safety to present on. You can choose among these areas to research:
IDENTITY THEFT
PASSWORDS AND PASSWORD PROTECTION
SOCIAL NETWORKING AND USING SELF-CONTROL
RELIABILITY OF INFORMATION FOUND ON WEBSITES
CYBERBULLYING AND/OR HARASSMENT
ACCESSING INAPPROPRIATE WEBSITES (WHAT TO DO)
EMAIL AND/OR PHISHING AND/OR SPAM (PITFALLS AND HOW TO AVOID)
If the Internet Safety page has a link to a website that no longer works, or takes you to a website that doesnt have anything to do with Internet Safety please let me know so I can fix it (or delete it, depending on the situation).

Computer History Project
In CS Principles we are starting to look at how computers have changed society and their overall cultural impact. Computer History Project PDF
For this project I assigned the pairs. I try not to pair students that are more than 8 points away from each other grade wise. This really helps cut down on the whole one partner that does nothing thing.
When they are done we present the projects, in order by era. In between we stop and discuss how the project fits into the bigger picture.
I took a slightly different path in the presentations this year. Just like it is easy to fall back into teaching and assessing code, it is also easy to fall back into just testing facts and dates about computer science topics.
The goal here is for them to demonstrate a broad understanding of computer science and how computing devices have changed through time.
We will eventually connect this content to the broader idea of how computers have fundamentally changed our society and culture.
So during the presentations I asked them to take notes, not on the names and dates, but on the broad themes covered.
The themes were:
* Digital vs Analog
* Memory
* Storable Programs
* Heat issues
* Speed
They will use this to answer several essay questions on their test next week.
Some sample questions:
--> How did the analog storage of information impact what early computers could do?
--> What changes in computer hardware over the past century have allowed computers to change from devices used only by governments and universities to the personal devices we all use today?
--> How did the development of the Internet change the types of devices developed?
--> How does conflict impact technological development?
Overall the presentations were great. The groups worked well together and really did some nice visuals. Half chose Prezi and half did Poewer Points.
My favorite part of the whole thing is when a student answer the question "What is the difference between analog and digitial" and she said "analog means a human operator made it work". I love this explination.
