What teachers say about Mobile CSP
Overall, I really like the course. It is well organized and contains a variety of activities. It has also freed up a lot of my time usually spent on designing activities to focus more on implementing them and assisting students...I also felt that it provided more activities than may have been required by the AP exam, thereby providing a more enriching experience for students.

My CSP students have never asked, "How will we use this stuff in real life?"

As a former Engineer turned computer science teacher, Mobile CSP was a pleasant way to introduce Computational Thinking to my 9th through 12th grade students. Mobile CSP provides opportunities to discuss the soft skills and basic skills which UX and UI Designers, Electronic Musicians, Computational Linguists, etc, use. Students were more attentive to current events, such as Election hacking, autonomous vehicles from Tesla, General Motors, Ted.com. Many students were ready to attempt to program in text from their exposure to block based coding.

My students respond well to the consistency of the Mobile CSP course. Each day they come in, log on to the Student Branch, and are prepared for the lesson without prompting from me. I believe that this consistency and predictability is critical in teaching an Advanced Placement course. Students have enough content to learn and by not having to struggle navigating the curriculum, more time can be spent on the content.
