Standards

from "Creative Coding: Lessons and Strategies to Integrate Computer Science Across the 6-8 Curriculum" by Josh Caldwell concepts and practices that should be taught in kindergarten through 12th grade (see the framework at k12cs.org) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0TlX1G3mywqXzNWMVdKX0lTSkU/view

CS Practices

CS Practices 1. Fostering an inclusive computing culture 2. Collaborating around computing 3. Recognizing and defining computational problems 4. Developing and using abstractions 5. Creating commutations artifacts 6. Testing and refining computational artifacts 7. Communicating about computing Crosswalk to ISTE Student Standards

Why integration?

from "Creative Coding: Lessons and Strategies to Integrate Computer Science Across the 6-8 Curriculum" by Josh Caldwell First, it provides an opportunity for students to experience computer science in schools where they otherwise wouldn’t be afforded the opportunity Second, it exposes students to the many contexts in which computer science can be applied in the real world.
