Meeting Norms
We are all learners. While we may all have a different level of understanding of the topics, we are able to learn from one another.��Be fully present. Our schedules are always busy, but it is important to take time to participate in professional learning. ��We all work together. We collaborate to maximize our impact on student achievement and success.� �Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day is non-negotiable.
Computer Science Implementation for K-5 Educators
2020-2021 - Each public high school (grades 9-12) shall offer at least one authentic CS course.
2021-2022 - Each public middle school (grades 6-8) shall offer instruction in middle school CS courses.
2022-2023 - Each public elementary school (K-5) shall offer instruction on the basics of CS and Computational Thinking.
The Law/Requirement
What does the legislation say?
How Did We Get Here
2017 - Governor Kay Ivey’s CS Advisory Council
2018 - Alabama Digital Literacy and Computer Science Standards approved
2019 - Computer Science Act #2019-389
What Reporting Is Required
According to CS4alabama.org, school systems will be required to report:

Recommendations from CS4AL:
for Elementary Computer Science Implementation
In the efforts to not disrupt what schools and districts already have in place, there are a few options that schools can consider:
Ozobot
Get to Know the Ozobot
What are Ozobots?
Ozobots are little robots that are designed as an introduction to coding. Students use color combinations to move the ozobot on a path from one location to another.
When an Ozobot sees a black line, it follows the line. If it comes across a series of colors, it then reads the colors and does what that block of color sequencing translates to.
For example, if the Ozobot sees green-black-red, it will turn left (directional code). If the Ozobot sees red-black-red, it will move slowly until told otherwise (speed code). Color blocks are as short as two colors or as long as four colors
Coding with Ozobots!
Ozobots use sensors to follow lines and read Color Codes you make with markers (or stickers!). Choose from Speed, Direction, Cool Moves codes, and more.

Calculating Speed
Discussion Questions��1. Which speed tends to be higher - Ozobot’s nominal speed or your calculated speed? Which of the two speeds do you feel more confident as being closer to the real speed? Why?
2. If your answer to question 2 was that the stopwatch times would be longer, on average how much longer would each of the times be?��3. Would the amount that the stopwatch times are longer be enough to account for the difference between the nominal and calculated speeds?
