This resources is for students to take notes about LAN and WAN computer networks so they can compare and contrast the two.

This resource is a template to make trading cards about Computer Science Historical Figures.Students can be assigned one or multiple figures to research and then create trading cards. The template is a Google Slides and includes a completed example.

The following resources is a link that will allow the user to play a matching game from Flippity.net using the vocabulary words from the Comptuer Science SOL 4.18-The student will identify and explain different ways information can be transmitted using computing devices via a network (e.g., email, images, and videos).

This game created on Baamboozle is comprised of fill-in-the blank and true or false questions from the vocabulary and essential knowledge of the Computer Science SOL 4.4.

This resource an inforgraphic that talks about includes Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, Grace Hopper, and Tim Berners-Lee. These are the significant historical figures listed in the Middle School Elective Curriculum Framework, MSCSE.6, context of the standard.

This worksheet reviews some of the significant events in computing history. Students will draw lines to connect the person/event to the time it occured.

This document is intended to be used for small group discussion, personal or partner matching or memory game, and review of previously taught components.
Included are 8 picture and label cards containing desktop computer, laptop, tablet, mouse, keyboard, mobile devices, printer, and touch screen.

This slides presentation has a short video about the 4 things that all computing devices have in common and then has picture examples of Input and output devices. It also has a slide of internal components we don't usually see.The final slide is a sorting activity that includes input and output devices.

This is a Google Slides that is to be used with the book Everything You Need to Ace Computer Science and Coding in One Big Fat Notebook, Unit 5, Chapter 15.

The lessons included in the attached Google Slides incorporate standards from Computer Science, Math, Language Arts, and Physical Education. The lessons all focus on conditional statements (IF, THEN, ELSE) and can easily be adapted to fit any grade from kindergarten to fifth grade. 

This is a step-by-step lesson/slide presentation of how to create an eposter from scratch using Google Slides. It is useful not only for creating storyboards, presentations, etc.; I also used it to discuss plagiarism and open source materials. 

This resource will show how to teach your students to make their own "formula calculator" using Java programming, and it has handouts for your students or your own use. It is ideal for Grade 7 and Grade 8 Math.The video in this resource walks you through the steps to teach your students to program their "formula calculator" using Java programming after they have been taught about geometric formulas. They can then use their calculator to help them solve their math problems. It will reinforce critical thinking skills and create a deeper understanding of how the formulas work.Students can use any Java IDE or even an online IDE. The lesson can be customized based on your familiarity with Java and your students' computer skills.The handouts show how to use arithmetic operators in Java as well as some Math class methods that will be helpful. The attached program can be used as a starting point for their programs. 

This is an introductory lesson on encryption and decryption. It includes a discussion about the importance of protecting data when communicating across a network. The data is protected through a process of encryption and decryption.Students are asked to decrypt a message (in this case, a scientific fact to reinforce knowledge ) using the encrypted message and a decryption key.
