Teaching Mobile CS Principles

Welcome to the 2017 edition of the Mobile CS Principles course. To see the updates and changes that were made for this edition, click here.

This course is the teacher component that accompanies the Mobile CSP course for students. The units parallel the student course, but provide lesson plans, reflections, pedagogy and other content to help support the teaching of Mobile Computer Science Principles.

Mobile CSP is being taught in 230+ schools in 39 states across the country with teacher professional development (PD) in the summer and academic year support.

The content on this teacher site as well as on the student site are openly available and free to use.

If you have any questions about the course, please post them to the forum (see Unit 1.7). The forum will be monitored so that only teachers -- no students -- will have access to it.
