One of my favorite books and resources is now available in a newly updated and revised 2nd edition! No Fear Coding: Computational Thinking Across the K-5 Curriculum is an exceptional resource written by Heidi Williams (who also happens to be my colleague). The 2nd edition has been expanded to include new and updated resources and activities, so even if you’re familiar with the first edition, this is a great time to revisit the book.

Ethics in a Digital World by Dr. Kristen Mattson explores incredibly important ideas surrounding the non-neutrality of technology and how grades 6-12 educators can better support the development of digital citizens who are equipped to navigate ethical questions at the intersection of technology and humanity. Personally, I believe this book (and these topics) should be a must-read for all 6-12 (and K-12) teachers and technology leaders.

​Technology impacts nearly every aspect of our daily lives, and building a foundational understanding of that impact is of critical importance in modern education.
