About the store
I've taught computer science for 30 years. I have extensive experience in curriculum design and implementation. My resources have taken students from introductory programming to Advanced Placement success! My computer programming team had over 100 students from grades 9 to 12 and we regularly made it to the provincial finals. During the last few years I have had 90+ students write the Waterloo Computing Competition (CCC). On the computer engineering side, I designed the curriculum for an introductory engineering course and I also ran a FIRST robotics team for 5 years.

🍿 Coding Projects
They are offered in 3 languages: Python, Turtle and Turing. Each project is unique because the student designs it on paper first, and students get to be creative while they demonstrate their mastery of the material. It's also great for differentiated instruction.

Java Layouts Editable Unit
Layouts have to be one of the most annoying and tricky Java classes. This is a team assignment. Well, almost! Students work in twos, threes or fours depending on your class requirements. In the first part they each choose one of the assigned layouts and get to work figuring it out. In the second assignment, students stay in the same teams so they can share their layout code solutions within their team. They each create a new project utilizing the last two layouts: CardLayout and BorderLayout.

Creating a JFrame in Java Editable Unit
I had a hard time introducing the Java Frame to my students. There seemed to be so many things to teach all at once! So, I created a three-part assignment that builds a simple JFrame one step at a time. This first assignment starts with a simple shell - 2 Java files I created. It has them explore how the driver class and the frame work together and they make simple changes to the frame based on the example provided. The second assignment demonstrates how to add and control a simple dialogue box

Experience
I've taught computer science for 30 years. I have extensive experience in curriculum design and implementation. My resources have taken students from introductory programming to Advanced Placement success! My computer programming team had over 100 students from grades 9 to 12 and we regularly made it to the provincial finals. During the last few years I have had 90+ students write the Waterloo Computing Competition (CCC). On the computer engineering side, I designed the curriculum for an introductory engineering course and I also ran a FIRST robotics team for 5 years.
Teaching style
I have taught using differentiated instruction in a flipped classroom model long before either of them were buzzwords. Never give answers - only ask more questions! Students need to get there under their own steam otherwise they haven't earned the knowledge and it won't stick! You can't learn how to drive a car in a classroom. You need to be behind the wheel and experience the reality and then try to analyze what you did. The point of programming is to use it as a tool to help students learn how to learn. The language is just the vehicle.
Awards & shining teacher moments
The second year of our participation in FIRST Robotics we won Canada and advanced to the final championships in Houston Texas. Two of my CCC students made it to the University of Waterloo to participate in the Canadian Computing Olympiad and one of them made it onto the IOC team that competed in Thailand.
My own education history
I have a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I taught myself how to program and as a result of my own journey I understand how students learn programming.
Additional biographical information
I have been a certified Advanced Placement teacher for over twenty years in Java as well as C.
