A Meeting Place for Computer Science Teachers in Cologne
We are computer science teachers at secondary schools in the greater Cologne/Bonn area. To exchange ideas and experiences, we have connected through a mailing list and hold regular in-person meetings.
Computer science teachers usually face circumstances at school that differ considerably from those in other subjects.
In particular:
- Most schools have only one or two people who teach computer science. There is therefore little opportunity for direct exchange with colleagues in the same subject.
- The subject is developing rapidly, teaching material designed specifically for pupils is scarce, and creating new material independently requires considerable effort.
- Computer science teachers are often also responsible for administering the hardware and software installed at their school. This is effectively a second job. It is not unusual to maintain more than one hundred computers as well as projectors, printers, document cameras, interactive whiteboards, email addresses, the school website, and the learning platform. The number of devices continues to grow, while the relief provided for administration has barely changed in twenty years.
We therefore decided to meet regularly to discuss current issues, answer questions, exchange materials, or simply talk with one another.
Other colleagues are warmly invited to join our mailing list and attend the meetings.
