초보 컴퓨터 과학 수업, 8-12세

👋 Hi! I'm Dr. Emberton and it is super nice to meet you on Outschool! 
I've been a public school teacher for ten years and worked in the private business sector for ten years before my time in the classroom. Let me tell you a little more about this opportunity. 

Deciding to teach on Outschool was a BIG deal for me! During the day, I still work with homeschool students but I am very passionate about computer science and technology skills. Sharing these skills at every moment is my calling! Thus the choice to provide this opportunity for you!

In these introductory sessions, we will going through the lessons developed for my computer science students. These lessons do not build upon each other but it would be helpful to know as we progress. Each lesson has a quick recap (after the initial first class), a learning target, an opportunity to practice, and a short assessment. Note that these are basic lessons and cover basic vocabulary to introduce students to computer science topics. The goal is to chunk computer science topics into easy to understand weekly topics.
