2. CS Standards
Introduce the fundamental concepts of computer science to all students, beginning at the elementary school level.
Present computer science at the secondary school level in a way that can fulfill a computer science, math, or science graduation credit.
Encourage schools to offer additional secondary-level computer science courses that will allow interested students to study facets of computer science in more depth and prepare them for entry into the workforce or college.
Increase the availability of rigorous computer science for all students, especially those who are members of underrepresented groups.

3. Currently in Washington
There is 24,580 open computing jobs (3.3x the state average demand rate)
1,212 computer science graduates
Policy Environment (rubric):
Dedicated state funding for CS PD
Does not require all high schools to offer CS
Has K-12 CS curriculum standards

4. Definition and Understanding
Open educational resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed text, media, and can include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, other digital assets that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as used to support access to knowledge

5. What is Free?
Open Educational Resources (OER) are and will always be free resources (in digital formats); however, not all freely available resources are OER. Free resources may be only temporarily available free of charge and may be restricted from access or use at some time in the future (including through the application of fees). Moreover, resources that are merely "free" (and not OER) may not be modified, adapted, or redistributed without obtaining the express permission of the copyright holder.

6. What does Open mean? OPEN SOURCE OPEN ACCESS
Open access, often in concert with Creative Commons licenses, makes work available for access, copying, distribution, and reuse.
The related term “free software” refers to the users’ freedom to copy, run, distribute, and modify software, rather than meaning free of cost.
Open source refers exclusively to software. It means that the source code* for that software is openly available, thus allowing for modification, and that the software may be redistributed freely. Many open source software programs are free of cost, but most applications do carry licensing fees.
*Source code is the fundamental component of a computer program that is created by a programmer.

MIT App Inventor
MIT App Inventor is an intuitive, visual programming environment that allows everyone – even schoolchildren – to build fully functional apps for smartphones and tablets. MIT App Inventor is a rather large system divided in multiple projects, each of which relies on different open source technologies.
CS for All Teachers
CS for All Teachers provides a virtual home for teachers to connect with one another and with the resources and expertise they need to successfully teach computer science in their classrooms. PreK-12 teachers can get answers to their questions from the share their experiences in small groups, participate in online events, search for resources, and learn new instructional strategies from their colleagues.

8. Comparing Open Educational Resources
OPEN SOURCE/OPEN ACCESS
Khan Academy Offers online practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. It covers math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more.
Code.org
Grants you a non-exclusive, transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to access, view, use, and display the Code.org curriculum and tutorial materials. The Code.org curriculum and tutorial materials may only be used for non-commercial, computer science educational purposes.
code.org has open source parts as well….

12. Understanding the use of “Free”Resources
Perhaps we should never use the word “free” it’s too confusing!
This example given for explaining “free software,” however— it’s more like “free speech” than like “free beer.”
