Hi! It is great to see such an active and helpful teacher forum. I’m sure I will use it! My name is Abby Hankee and my district is starting a STEMM academy. I am a math teacher who will have one coding class, so this is all new to me. Wish me luck! Code.org seems to have a very comprehensive and user friendly setup. Computer Science Discoveries was recommended by the supervisor of our STEMM academy.
Hi, I’m Greg. I teach middle school. My 6th graders learn Computer Science Discoveries or Critical Thinking/Graphic Design. My 7th graders learn Critical Thinking based upon math and science including robotics. My 8th graders learn Digital Information Technology.
I am currently in the training provided by Adriana and Michael here in Central Florida.

Hello!
I learned about Code.org many years ago, and now am in a cohort! CSinCLE-CSD
Glad to be here.
I’m Michelle. I teach STEAM to my students in Middle School 6-8. I will be doing my second year with working with Code.org. All of my classes will be working on web development this year, but the 6th grade will also be doing problem solving and computing. I am currently in training with Jen and Elizabeth in CS for CLE.

Hi-
I am Anne Merrell. This will be my first real year teaching CSD to 8th graders. I am currently part of a cohort in Maryland.
Hello! My name is Patricia Bankins.
I learned about CS Discoveries through a colleague. My cohort is a group of teachers from all over the state of Maryland, who are taking the course virtually.
We have great group of teachers with a diverse backgrounds that have experience working with different population. It has really calmed my worries about teaching the course. I hope my contributions to class have been value adding. Good luck planning for the this school year.
Take care, Patricia
