New Resources for 2019-2020

CS Discoveries Updates from the Team
1

The school year is in full swing! Have you had time to check out these new CS Discoveries resources?

Teacher Guides

We’ve created several new short guides for teachers, both new and veteran.
Check them all out on the CS Discoveries Curriculum Page. Our two page Assessment Guide will give you an overview on all of our new assessment features and how to use them, and the Debugging Guide will help you support students in developing their own debugging skills.

Learning Frameworks

Our new Learning Frameworks provide an overview of the expected student outcomes for each unit in the course. All of the learning objectives and assessment opportunities in the course are aligned to these frameworks.

One Note Journal

In partnership with the Microsoft Education Team, we’re excited to announce that updates to the OneNote classroom notebook for CS Discoveries 2019-20 are available! The notebook contains activity guides and journal prompts for the 2019-20 course as well as spaces for teachers and students to collaborate and work independently. You can get familiar with how to use OneNote in our CS Discoveries curriculum here!

Flipgrid Disco Library

We’re so excited to announce that Code.org is an official Flipgrid Disco Library partner! Disco Libraries allow your students to explore prompts and answer questions that get them talking, exchanging ideas and collaborating. We have 20 brand new CS topics for you and your students to explore and engage with in the classroom.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for your reply. Where can I download the notebook so that I can incorporate it in my class notebook? I couldn’t find it in the FAQ article that you have shared to me.

Thanks,

Anna

Try this link. I don’t have a school Microsoft account, but if you do, I think this link will work for you.

Hello Team,

I’m finding the code to become much more complex. Is there answer key for CSD? When working in fundamentals, I am able to click on the “See A Solution” link. Please help!
Thank you!

There are answer keys if you are a teacher and have a verified teacher account. If you need to get a verified teacher account, check here for more information on that.

If you are a verified teacher and still can’t find the answer keys, look for the blue tab on the right side of the screen in code studio and when you open it on a level with an answer key or exemplar, you will be able to access it.

Let us know if we can still help with that.

Hi Mike,

I attended a week training for CSD last summer. How can I find out if I’m verified?

I found the solution on the blue tab, thank you for your assistance!

If you have the blue tab, you are verified. They automatically verify anyone attending the week-long trainings so you should be good.

Good luck!

Mike
