Teacher Tools for a Virtual Computer Science Classroom

Helpful CodeHS tools to bring some ease to your virtual computer science classroom!

Many schools around the world are closed or moving to a virtual setup. To help with this challenging transition, CodeHS Pro is available to all teachers for free until June 30th!

With CodeHS Pro, teachers have access to a suite of tools and resources to help run a successful virtual computer science class. The CodeHS Team is also continuing to release new virtual learning tools to help teachers keep their classes on track including direct assignment links, announcements, attendance tracker, and more.

Direct Assignment Links

Quickly copy links to specific CodeHS activities to share with your students in an email or post on your classroom management tool such as Google Classroom. This feature is easily accessible from multiple locations! Learn more.

Announcements

Keep your students in the loop by posting important announcements. When you post a message on CodeHS, all the students in your section will see the notification on their CodeHS student page. Learn more.
