The portal contains a CS curriculum for K-12 Schools along with many resources for teaching CS to kids and teens.

It is an organization for CS teachers who teach high school. Aside from using the SIG's virtual library as a teaching resource, it is also a goal to let our website be used as a collaboration site for organizations like the Computer Science Society and CSTA to share their passion for computer science and engineering.

This is a webpage for CS educators of students from high school to higher level of education. It contains teaching tools, resources, and software links. Our SIG will include this site in our virtual library because it covers "real world" simulations, interactive activities, and software (like Kodu, Small Basic, XNA).

The author of this blog really knows how to make engineering fun for kids. It contains links for engineering hands-on learning, competitions, and additional resources on computer programming for kids. A perfect resource for elementary to middle school learners.

A website managed by the University of Washington. It is a site that is mainly focused on the field of computer science, its importance, and career pathways. You can find movie clips of people who made computer science and engineering their career. They are good examples of computers scientists and engineers who don't sit behind their keyboards programming and designing the latest computer games or avatar. They are in hospitals, offices, and in classrooms. This resource will be used for the career pathway section in our project.

Explore how computer science is also about people, solving puzzles, creativity, changing the future and, most of all, having fun.

This is a website resource for computer courses for adult learners. This site contains computer science related articles, links, videos, and other useful information. This site will help in understanding what coursework in computer science can be taught to adults for practical learning or for career.

Here is another site for free video lectures on math and science. It contains a lot of interesting and educational topics that you can use for research or for teaching. I will be looking for specific CSE video lecture courses that can be embedded into the virtual library.

It is a free professional development site for teachers and librarians. It addresses common questions about the use of technology in teaching and learning by providing easy access to practical, online resources and lesson plans on technology for young to adult learners.

A site for educators teaching computer science to college students. There are sample lesson plans and teacher links that we can use for our virtual library especially in the section for teachers of adult learners.

This is a science update podcast from Thinkfinity.org. It is a great example for our team to incorporate into our virtual library to demontrate a practical use of a computer program to study long-lost cultures of the past through an experiment in virtual archaeology.

It is a blog on teaching computer science at the K-12 level. It covers a technology called Kodu which our SIG is planning to pursue. Kodu is a free and simple to use visual programming language from Microsoft designed to teach children how to make video games while practicing important skills. It introduces the logic and problem solving of programming without the complexity. Kodu builds real world skills while having fun by enabling students to build video games that require them to analyze problems, structure their logic and tell their story.

The IEEE Computer Society is the world's leading organization of computing professionals. It serves the information and career-development needs of today's computing researchers and professionals with books, conferences, conference publications, magazines, online courses, software development certifications, standards, and technical journals which we may need as resources and community/forum links for our virtual library.

This site is created by a worldwide volunteer community. It has computer science activities with instructions and worksheets. Some are with photos and videos showing some of the activities in action, and we've collected links to other useful resources. The activities are primarily aimed at the five to twelve year-old age group, but can also be used to teach older children and adults too with little modification. Teachers will be able to interactively engage in the activities in this site or will be able to download the activity worksheet for classroom use.
