underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every
school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe
computer science should be part of core curriculum, alongside other courses such
as biology, chemistry or algebra. Our courses are available in 45+ languages,
used in all 180+ countries. Code.org has developed an elementary school
curriculum that allows even the youngest students to explore the limitless world
of computing - at no cost for schools. The courses blend online, self-guided and
self-paced tutorials with “unplugged” activities that require no computer at
all. Each course consists of about 20 lessons that may be implemented as one
unit or over the course of a semester. Even kindergarten-aged pre-readers can
participate. Our current middle school curriculum focuses on using computer
science and programming within the context of middle school math and science -
as a tool to teach math and science concepts. In addition, the online courses in
our Code Studio platform may be used at all grade levels. Our newest
course-in-development, CS Discoveries, will be a year-long computer science
course designed for middle school students.

engineering and mathematics, or STEM, subjects. These activities provide unique
learning experiences for students, teachers, administrators and families. NASA
strives to ensure that underrepresented and underserved students participate in

PhET Interactive Science Simulations
United States of America
PhET provides fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical
phenomena for free. We believe that our research-based approach- incorporating
findings from prior research and our own testing- enables students to make
connections between real-life phenomena and the underlying science, deepening
their understanding and appreciation of the physical world. To help students
visually comprehend concepts, PhET simulations animate what is invisible to the
eye through the use of graphics and intuitive controls such as click-and-drag
manipulation, sliders and radio buttons. In order to further encourage
quantitative exploration, the simulations also offer measurement instruments
including rulers, stop-watches, voltmeters and thermometers. As the user
manipulates these interactive tools, responses are immediately animated thus
effectively illustrating cause-and-effect relationships as well as multiple
linked representations (motion of the objects, graphs, number readouts, etc.) To
ensure educational effectiveness and usability, all of the simulations are
extensively tested and evaluated. These tests include student interviews in
addition to actual utilization of the simulations in a variety of settings,
including lectures, group work, homework and lab work. Our rating system
indicates what level of testing has been completed on each
simulation.

PHOTODENTRO - Greek National Aggregator of Educational
Content
Greece
The Computer Technology Institute and Press "Diophantus" (CTI) was
founded in 1985 as a non-profit private legal entity. Since 1992 CTI has been
supervised by the Ministry of Education (MoE) as a financially,

strategic decision of the Ministry of Education to establish CTI as its
technological pillar, supporting ICT in education, and as the publishing body of
Greek textbooks and electronic educational materials (law 3966/2011). CTI is now
responsible for developing and maintaining digital educational resources and
content-based services for schools, including digital learning repositories and
learning platforms; administrating the Greek School Network, the largest user
network in Greece; organizing and running the state programs for teachers
training in ICT; publishing all Greek school textbooks; and supporting the
organization and operation of the electronic infrastructure of the Greek MoE and
all associated educational units. CTI has longstanding experience in the
pedagogical use of educational technology in schools. Among others, CTI has
implemented and coordinated the large-scale action for the digital educational
content and content-based services for schools in the context of the “Digital
School” national initiative for K-12 education in Greece (2010-2015), that
included the design and development of the “Photodentro” Hellenic National
Educational Repository Infrastructure for K-12 Education (an ecosystem of OER
repositories and the Greek National Aggregator for Educational Content at
photodentro.edu.gr), the creation of interactive e-textbooks, and the
development of the e-me Digital Educational Platform for pupils and teachers
(“e-me” platform). CTI has also participated in more than 250 European
projects.

Quality Network for a European Learning Resource Exchange
(Unilearning)
Europe
eQNet is a three-year (September 2009-2012) Comenius Multilateral
Network funded under the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning programme. The
project is coordinated by European Schoolnet and involves 9 Ministries of

is to improve the quality of educational resources in LRE and provide a forum
for joint reflection and co-operation. As a pan-European service, the LRE
particularly seeks to identify resources that ‘travel well’ across national
borders and can be used in a cultural and linguistic context different from the
one in which they were created. eQNet has established a network consisting of
policy makers and practitioners (teachers) who are developing and applying
‘travel well’ quality criteria.
