Q1: Is computer science the same thing as coding? Why or why not? #ArkEdChat

jrspencer66 Feb 25 @ 9:09 PM EST

Representing AR and CS!! @jenhlyon #arkedchat

jrspencer66 Feb 25 @ 9:11 PM EST

Q1: Coding is one aspect to CS. Similiar to the study of cells is just one aspect of biology #arkedchat

jenhlyon Feb 25 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 Coding is part of CS but it's not everything CS. Computer Science is an umbrella under which we find coding. #ArkEdChat

dtangred Feb 25 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: I feel coding is an aspect of CS. CS involves multiple skill sets. Some CS's more interested in design & engineering #ArkEdChat

jrspencer66 Feb 25 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Coding is just one piece of the CS puzzle! #arkedchat

monicamorris811 Feb 25 @ 9:13 PM EST

Q4: What PD/support do Ts need from schools/state to be successful CS educators? How does this differ based on grade level? #ArkEdChat

sabrapro - Moderator Feb 25 @ 9:33 PM EST

@brian_librarian I don't have time sadly....ESL and masters are keeping my plate FULL #arkedchat

jrspencer66 Feb 25 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4: Districts need to get on board. Easy to provide PD district wide than just sending a few teachers #arkedchat

AnthonyOwenADE Feb 25 @ 9:34 PM EST

jenhlyon Feb 25 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4 I think a lot of teachers are intimidated by CS. A good PD facilitator will demystify CS and make it relatable for teachers. #ArkEdChat

monicamorris811 Feb 25 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4 Ts need to see the CS connections to what they are already teaching #ArkEdChat

AnthonyOwenADE Feb 25 @ 9:36 PM EST

alfredtwo Feb 25 @ 9:37 PM EST

jrspencer66 Feb 25 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5: Start the instruction young (elem) to keep their interest into HS, This is the key #arkedchat

alfredtwo Feb 25 @ 9:47 PM EST
