Posted by Computer Science Field Guide is a free online resource for teaching Computer Science to high school students. This guide was developed as an online interactive textbook to support the new achievement standards in Computer Science that were being rolled out in New Zealand (2011-2013), and is now being adapted for use all over the world.
The interactive textbook offers curriculum guides to map the different curriculum standards, teaching guides and interactive programming objects. The guide include chapters on algorithms, programming languages, human computer interaction, AI, Big Data etc.
The guide is free to copy, share and even modify. It will also be downloadable as a PDF file (although it’s recommended to read through the website because of the videos and interactive activities). The source material (all raw text, images, videos and interactive programs) is available on GitHub.
