Hi folks,
I am just back to school for 7 days now and am struggling to get my act in gear. September always seems to be a challenge. I hope I am not the only one who feels this way. haha. One thing that would help me immensely is if it were possible to download all the slides in a unit together in one slide deck. Of the 6 classes I teach, I think I may have found a full unit for only one of them. Is there a place in the curriculum notes to download the full unit slide decks? And if not can someone tell me why? It is very cumbersome to have separate lesson slide decks for each lesson. I have a block schedule so I try to teach 2 lessons per period. A single slide deck let’s me mark the pages where I leave off after each class. I can easily find my place the next class. Seeing the whole picture allows me to easily flip forward a few pages and understand what is coming up. I could go on and on. I am now trying to build full unit slide decks on my own but it is terribly time consuming. It’s a beautiful saturday morning here and I would rather be outside, haha.
Thank you for any help or advice,
Cathy
Cathy,
Welcome back to the forum. I’m with you there. I agree it’s nice to have them all together. I’m not sure which course you are teaching, so I will answer as if it were CS Discoveries, but the answer is similar with some of the other courses as well.
I don’t think there’s a single slide deck for all lessons, or even for a full unit, but there is a quick place to access them all if you haven’t found it.
Each unit has all of the lesson resources on a single page. For example, for unit 1 in CSD, that page is here: CSD Unit 1 Resources 2024-25
You can usually get to it from the information page for each unit and look for the teacher resources link. At least that way, all of the slides can be found on the same page so that may be helpful if you were digging into each lesson plan one at a time.
I would also suggest you reach out to support@code.org and let them know you’d like the slides all together. If enough people want that, they may implement it in the future.
Good luck!
Mike
Hi everyone,
CSP and CSA have the full unit slide decks under the Teacher Resources menu at the start of each unit:
This appears to be missing from CSD for some reason. I encourage anyone who would like them to submit a feature request to let the engineers know this is something you want.
Thanks!!
