Abstract
This article describes how the Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) at Temple University uses a computer based "bulletin board" system to improve our Systems Analysis and Design Courses. We found that the use of the bulletin board improves the communication skills of students and increases the productivity of both instructor and student. While the article is descriptive rather than empirical, we believe it offers useful insights for other instructors who share our concerns and are interested in the use of computer based communication technology to improve teaching.

Teaching how to teach computational thinking
ITiCSE 2018: Proceedings of the 23rd Annual ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science EducationComputational Thinking is argued to be an essential skill for the workforce of the 21st century. As a skill, Computational Thinking should be taught in all schools, employing computational ideas integrated into other disciplines. Up until now, questions ...
Computer Science Teaching Knowledge: A Framework and Assessment (Abstract Only)
SIGCSE '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationEducators, researchers, politicians, tech companies, and others continue to advocate for the importance of K-12 students learning computer science in our increasingly tech-driven society. One way school districts in the United States address this ...
What does it take to Teach K12 Computer Science?: Exploring Teachers' Attitudes Towards Teaching CS K12 in Georgia
SIGCSE '19: Proceedings of the 50th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationCurrently, the state of Georgia requires a CS teacher endorsement (or the passing of the CS GACE exam) to teach middle/high school computer science in public schools. However, issues such as the cost of a CS endorsement and a lack of incentives to take ...
