Integrating CS in English Language Arts

PD for Elementary School CS

This workshop is intended for elementary school English Language Arts educators who have been asked to bring computer science to their general education and/or ELA classrooms. Teachers will explore the importance of computer science in society and the classroom as well as an introduction to the Indiana computer science standards (both K-2 and 3-5) and how to bring computer science to their already developed ELA lesson plans and projects.

The topics covered in each workshop include:

Role of Computer Science in society and the classroom
Indiana Computer Science Standards, including where to locate the standards and how to navigate the curriculum map
Introduction to the 5 core concepts of CS: Data and Information, Computing Devices and Systems, Programs and Algorithms, Networking and Communications and Impact and Culture
Experiencing classroom lessons for each core concept
