Google Launches Comprehensive CS Resources for Educators
Google today launched Code with Google, a new compilation of resources for K-12 educators for exploring computer science in the classroom.
According to Google, “We believe that training, resources, and community for teachers are key to improving equity in CS education and expanding access for all students. Code with Google is our new CS comprehensive resource for educators. It brings together Google’s free curriculum and programs that build coding skills—from beginner level to advanced—to help students succeed. Teachers can integrate CS First into their classroom, guide their high school students to the free code learning app Grasshopper to learn Javascript, or share CS scholarship opportunities with students.”
Google also announced it’s awarded a $1 million grant to the Computer Science Teachers Association, which will be used to “support their mission of building community and providing CS professional development to teachers in communities across the U.S. Through CSTA’s national network of chapters, more teachers will have the resources they need to bring CS learning to their students.”
