Codio announces new curriculum aligned to the CSTA Standards and K12 Framework lead by Daniel Moix, standing member of the CSTA Standards Committee. Any Codio customer has full access to two new courses - one for high school and one for middle school. The courses cover wide ranging topics such as programming, Big Data, cyber-security, algorithms, databases and ethics. Codio classes are integrated into the Codio platform.

Following on from the five coding challenges added to Codio are three slightly more difficult challenges. While the original five were aimed at beginners, the new ones are for those with intermediate programming skills. Once you're logged in to Codio you can find all the challenges here: Coding Challenges

Have you been looking for a way to flip your classroom? Or do you need a strategy to differentiate instruction for various groups of students during a class period? These are challenges we all face. Codio offers solutions.

Codio is releasing new curriculum content that maps to the CS K12 Framework. It features content for Middle Schools and High Schools covering topics such as algorithms, programming, computing systems, networks, cyber security and data analysis.
