Codio's new K12 CS-mapped curriculum:
Back in July 2016, we announced our partnership with the CSTA giving teachers across the USA free access to the Codio platform for professional development purposes. We are now delighted to make another major announcement.
In January 2017, we will be releasing a complete body of K-12 CS Framework aligned teaching content with the following highlights:
- Theory and practical curriculum aligned to the K-12 CS Framework
- Middle School Modules
- High School Level A modules
- High School Level B (advanced modules)
- Integrated auto-graded assessments (code tests and multiple choice)
- Full online IDE for programming in any language and with any software components (databases, libraries, tools etc.)
- You also have the ability to create coding projects from scratch, all in the cloud and in any programming language, with nothing for you or your system administrator to setup or configure. No installation is necessary. There is no need to worry about security as everything runs on the Codio platform.
As a result, the Codio K-12 CS content is a great way for teachers to prepare for the classroom and familiarise themselves with the curriculum. They can also strengthen their coding skills using the online IDE.
What is the new curriculum?
Each module allows teachers and students to access content using a browser. However, where programming is required, the content sits within the Codio IDE, allowing code to be written and tested.
The results from any auto-graded assessments contained within the content are fed back to the teacher dashboard so a teacher is able to monitor progress of all students in real time.
You also have the ability to create coding projects from scratch, all in the cloud and in any programming language, with nothing for you or your system administrator to setup or configure. No installation is necessary. There is no need to worry about security as everything runs on the Codio platform.
