Sometimes, I question my choice to become a teacher, but not today. My students went above and beyond, sharing their creative process and challenges and yes, I might’ve teared up Proud of their creativity and perseverance! Thanks to Emily Flach from @ltcillinois for attending!

Everyone thinks that success is down to: Hard work. Luck. Intelligence. They're wrong. After building 2 startups in Silicon Valley, I've seen one rare trait all successful founders have. Here's what it is (and how you can build this rare trait too):

We now have an entire generation of high school students for whom #Y2K is a quick history lesson, despite its impact on society, economy, and culture. Today, new technologies of unknown impact also “happen” to our society. Shouldn’t kids learn the societal impact of new tech?

I just used this with teachers and it is a GAME CHANGER! I love how I can share programs easily, see student code in progress, and download work for a later session. I love everything about this and will tell anyone who will listen to me talk about it 🤣

This amazing group of educators spent a week in Bloomington Normal learning how to bring computer science education back to their schools! They made history at the first ever Illinois CS PD Week! @ltcillinois @ISBEnews @CSForIL @DiscoverDPI

Chicago has a high concentration of people who identify into one or more historically underrepresented groups in #computerscience. The same can be said across the rest of Illinois. We need to stop tethering our work toward #CSforAll in IL to its zip codes, 606XX or otherwise.

I have never heard of any high school - anywhere - running AP Calc and AP Stats in the same room, at the same time, taught by the same teacher. That feels almost silly to write. So why is this such common practice in high schools that offer both AP Computer Science courses?

Yup. Computer science is an application of mathematics in the theoretical designs of binary (and eventually quantum) computational architectures, while also being an application of (and contributor to) every other science known to man. Let’s make it happen, indeed. @CSForIL
Rod Garcia@MrRodGarcia

Computer Science is a great connector to math and science✊. Let's make it happen. Jumping back into #sketch50. Day 11: Connect @sketch_50
