GASHA GO! World: Game-Based Learning for K-2 CS
Description:
GASHA GO World is a new suite of no-login, no-cost games, animations, and support materials for K-2 computer science from Georgia Public Broadcasting, the Georgia DOE, and FableVision Studios. In this session, we will discuss the importance of foundational CS instruction and how GASHA GO! World can be incorporated in both formal and informal learning environments to provide access and identity development. This robust suite of resources is designed to address four key pillars of early CS instruction: computational thinking, digital citizenship, innovative design, and creative communication.
