Computing Integrated Teacher Education (CITE) @ CUNY

Computing Integrated Teacher Education is a four-year initiative to support CUNY faculty at all ranks to integrate state standards aligned computing content and pedagogy into required education courses, field work and student teaching. Supported by public funding from the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) Computer Science for All (CS4All) program and private funding from the Robin Hood Learning + Technology Fund, the initiative will focus on building on and complementing the success of NYCDOE CS4All and pilots to integrate computational thinking at Queens College, Hunter College and Hostos Community College.

The initiative focuses on:
– Supporting institutional change in teacher education programs
– Building faculty computing pedagogical content knowledge through the lens of culturally response-sustaining education
– Supporting faculty research in equitable computing education, inclusive STEM pedagogies, and effects on their students’ instructional practices

    • I love tools like Flip and Padlet, and use them for engagement in the courses that I teach. I am familiar with many educational coding tools and happy to help others with them. I’d like to learn more about the CODAP tool.

    My name is Dina Antoine.  I teach a variety of mathematics courses.   Exploring the tools we will be using such as Flipgrid , Scrath and Jamboard and Excel,  has made me think how they can used in a class lesson or activity to enhance students conceptual and procedural learning.  I enjoyed  Scratch because some basic coding was involved. Jamboard would be useful in creating a conceptual map of concepts learned in class.

    Hello, I am Sandie Han, professor of mathematics at City Tech. I’ve tried out Padlet, Jamboard, Flipgrid and Excel. It was fun.  Same as Meg, I would like to learn more about CODAP. I feel it can be a great tool.
