Jennifer Daniel of Washington County has created a Wakelet to show how to create a Bitmoji Classroom if you'd like to create one of this graphic-based virtual classroom interfaces.
Binary is both the language of computers and the manner by which computers input, process, sort, and output information. For that reason, understanding this process and how it works opens up a world of information about how computers function. Through this lesson, students will learn about this language and how it resembles many other things in the world around us. Because this topic was at first unfamiliar to them, students will then challenge themselves to share this information in a way that could be understood by a younger child. All of this is focused on ensuring that this foundational understanding is engrained in multiple ways as other concepts taught during this year and in other years are built off of this topic.
There were many black women who worked as code breakers at Arlington Hall during World War II, including Elsie Scott, Sue Bailey Thurman, and Genevieve Collins.

In this professional development presentation, educators learn about Building Models (1 of the 7 components of Computational Thinking, according the Ignite My Future platform). This presentation can be used by individuals to learn about them, or used to present to others. The video is a recording of one of the sessions provided to teachers through a 7 week series of "CT Parties".Within this resource, you will find the presentation slides, a recording, a K-2 and 3-5 lesson to build models, and activities to support parents understanding and home use of the strategy. This lesson is part of the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline which is partly funded through a GO Virginia grant in partnership with Chesapeake Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, and the Loudoun Education Foundation.
