Conversation Overview and Highlights
For our third episode we talked with K-12 CS teachers about what teaching and learning amidst the pandemic has looked like and how they’ve resisted and built community. In the third and final part of this episode, we have some cool word clouds as well as follow-up resources. We suggest engaging with all three parts of the episode in order: Part 1 helps frame the episode, Part 2 is the recorded kitchen table talk, and Part 3 (this poast!) contains additional resources.
Reflections and Ponderings
Dr. Tsan created two word clouds from the conversation. The first image is from teachers talking about teaching in a pandemic. The second is about how they resisted while teaching in a pandemic. In the word clouds below, the larger a word is, the more frequently it came up in the conversation.
