Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

computer science in a fun, playful and extremely creative environment so that
they fall in love with coding and want to learn more! 20 beautifully animated
