Hello!
My name is Vanessa Hoang. I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade levels in Moreno Valley, California! I’ve yet to teach any CS, but I am excited to try! I am excited for kids to be able to create something for themselves!
Hello, my name is Ashley and I teach 6th grade (all content areas) at an IB/Spanish dual immersion school in Fontana, CA. I am looking forward to implementing units 1 and 2 in the Fall. I also want to try units 3 and 4.
I’m Kelley Homistek. I teach K-6 Technology and 7th grade Computer Graphics. It is 19th year as a teacher, but my first year to teach an actual Computer Graphics course. I will teach Gaming and Animations first. However, I am most excited about AI and Machine Learning.
Hello, I am Adeline Villicaña I teach 6th grade in Tulare County. This is new to me but I plan to teach unit 1 and 3, but am also interested in at least letting my students complete the introduction to the AI unit. I am excited to talk about bias in coding and to think about ALL users in mind.
I’m MiChelle, teaching 6th grade in the central valley of California in Atwater. I am excited to try out CS Discovery lessons this year.
Hi 
I’m Emily and I’ll be teaching ELA6 and SE6 in central New Mexico this year. I’m looking forward to collaborating with my computing colleague and including CS in my teaching this year (& other possibilities to come).
My name is Lieda Shadwick. I teach Career & Technical Education 9-12th grade.
I plan to use the Web Design unit with my Web Design class. I also hope to use the Problem Solving Unit with both Web Design and Computer Business Applications. As I continue to plan for the 2023-2024 school year, I will look at other units to implement into my classes. I’m really excited about using CS Discoveries videos, lesson plans, and resources. My hope is my students will enjoy the units and share their experiences with other students.

Hello CS Educators,
I am Nicole Marquez-Johnston. I will be teaching Middle School grades 6-8 but primarily 8th grade. My plan is to teach from the beginning with Unit 1 and go from there. Based on comments and description I am reading up so far, I will be curious to teach Unit 3.
Hi all,
I am Ichi. I will be teaching CSD in High School next year. I will start with unit 1 and see how it goes. I am mostly curious to teach the Design thinking unit.
My name is Shelley, this is my 15th year teaching but my first-year teaching CS Discoveries to my 6-8th grade students. Looking forward to a great year of learning and teaching Computer Science Discoveries.
Hello my name is Jasmine. I teach grades 6-8 math as the inclusion Special Education teacher. I am planning on teaching Units 1 and 2 of Discoveries during summer school. I am most excited about learning a new program and exposing my students to technology skills that they do not get to experience in other classes.
Hi,
My name is Radhika. I am a new high school math and physics teacher. This fall will be my second year teaching. In the fall, I will be teaching AP Precalculus and CS Discoveries for a high school Introduction to Programming class. The previous teachers used all the CS Discoveries curriculum. I will probably do the same. This forum looks like a good source of information, ideas, and tips!
Hey everyone, I’m Gretchen. I teach 3-8 grade gifted. I’m still not sure what all I will have time to cover from Discoveries this year in part because I currently primarily teach CS during an afterschool coding club and it will depend on how many students sign up in which grades. I’m excited to have such great resources available for schools to use as well as providing training and teacher support and collaboration.
My name is Chris Robinson and I teach 6-8 grades. I plan to teach Units 1 (6th and 7th Grades), 3 (6th Grade), and 4 (7th Grade).
I am curious of your thoughts of what has worked for you with 6th and 7th grades? My school does a 9-week rotation.
My name is Toni Lea Borror Gregory. I liked to go by Lea. I will be teaching preK - 8th this year. Previously I taught high school for 25 years. I plan on doing all the units on CS Discoveries. I am excited for all the units.

My name is Aimee Wortendyke. I currently teach 3rd-8th grade technology. I plan to teach the problem-solving process (Until 4) and then web design. I only teach the students once a week for 45 minutes, so I don’t want to over plan. I am excited to experiment and try out different units.
