15	Our Impact: The Seesaw Library takes on a cross-curricular, liberatory approach to teaching computer science that empowers students to create to improve their world. Each lesson will leverage best practices to ensure that students are able to showcase their learning through multimodal activities. A mixture of hands-on and digital learning experiences help students make connections to Computer Science and the world around them, making it easier to apply their skills within their everyday lives. Our Approach: - Flexible learning experiences can be integrated into everyday classroom routines. - Built-in scaffolds make concepts accessible and support student independence. - Personally authentic learning experiences are reflective of students’ backgrounds, cultures, interests, prior knowledge, and environments. - Culturally relevant-sustaining pedagogy encourages students to integrate their cultural contexts into computer science. - Cross-curricular approach provides meaningfully integrated computer science content. - No teacher expertise needed! Lessons are designed so that any teacher, regardless of familiarity level with computer science, can successfully teach the content.

17	The Collections
18		Digital Leadership With Bean Grades K-3	In this collection, students will learn, practice, and apply the skills of digital leadership. Digital Leadership with Bean is an interactive hands-on collection that teaches students the skills to become responsible digital leaders. Students jump into Bean's life and explore real-world choices and practice being safe, balancing screen time, being kind, and much more. Students use their prior knowledge and diverse experiences to apply these digital leadership skills to their own lives. Each lesson is approx. 35 min.
19		The Digital Leaders Grades 4-5	In this collection, students will learn alongside the Digital Leaders how to engage in the digital world safely and responsibly. Students will jump into diverse superheroes' lives through a graphic novel experience to practice real-world choices that build their lership skills, and teach them how to keep themselves, their personal information, friendships, and digital footprint safe. Each lesson is approx. 50 min.
20		Computational Thinking Grades K-2	In this collection, student will learn and apply the four pillar concepts in computational thinking: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking. These storybook lessons are rooted in real-life, non-technology based, and developmentally appropriate circumstances. Students will have hands-on and collaborative experiences to deepen and construct computational thinking knowledge. Each lesson is approx. 40 min.
21		Computational Thinking Adventures Grades 3-5	In this collection, students will learn about and practice the four pillars of computational thinking, which are decomposition, algorithmic thinking, abstraction, and pattern recognition. These cognitive skills are the foundation for future learning in computer science. Students will learn and practice each skill while exploring the world with the Adventure Team. Activities are cross-curricular and integrated with multiple subject areas including ELA, math, science, and SEL. Each lesson is approx. 60 min.
22		Code the World Grades K-2	In this collection, K-2nd grade students follow fun narratives to learn about and practice foundational coding concepts with their friends, the Code Crew. Students collaborate and problem solve through plugged and unplugged activities. Using Scratch and Scratch Jr., students create engaging projects by applying foundational computer science concepts. Each lesson is approx. 45 min. Each Scratch/ScratchJr integrated lesson is approx. 60 min.
23		Mission Code Grades 3-5	In this collection, students complete hands-on and digital coding missions to help save Planet Robo. Students learn about foundational coding concepts through secret missions. Using Scratch, students create engaging projects by applying foundational computer science concepts. Each lesson is approx. 60 min. Each Scratch integrated lesson is approx. 90 min.
24		Code.org Computer Science Grades 3-5	In this collection, students engage in cross-curricular Code.org coding activities and capture their learning on Seesaw. Each lesson is approx. 45-60 min.
25		Careers in CS Grades K-5	In this collection, students will learn about careers that utilize computer science domains of digital Leadership, STEAM, data, coding, and computaitonal thinking. The content provides exposure to diverse computer science role models and supports nonfiction reading skills. Each lesson is approx. 75-95 min.

28		Visual Data Talks Grades K-5	In this collection, students examine and interpret data in developmentally and age appropriate ways. Their data guide, Hops, guides students through data visualizations and how to make meaning from data. Students participate in class and partner discussions to practice their data analysis skills. Each lesson is approx. 30-50 min.
29		STEAM Grades K-2	In this collection, students apply Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math concepts to creatively problem solve in authentic ways. Dr. Discovery and Dr. Science guide students through a science concept, and students have opportunities to integrate technology, art, and math into their learning experience. Each topic is approx. 20 min.
30		STEAM: Design Thinking Grades 3-5	In this collection, students will solve real world problems packed full of purposeful design thinking challenges. Each lesson is approx. 45 min. Each design challenge is multi-day.
