Interesting Links 29 February 2016

k12csFebruary break is over. I’m not actually in school today as I am working with one of the writing teams working on a framework for K-12 Computer Science Education. I took it fairly easy last week. No trips, no special events, I was more active online than I had planned (Social Media and Professional Development) for that was ok. It did mean I picked up some good links to share.

The new issue of  the CSTA Voice is out and it contains a great #CSPedagogy article with teaching tips! Among other great articles.
