Intro

Hi Teachers,

We’re rooting for you as the academic year comes to a close and makes way for the summer! With the new season comes lots of big updates and things to look forward to, including our first ever Summer Professional Development for CS teachers!

What’s New?

  • :handshake:t4: We’ll be offering our first ever Replit Professional Development this July 26-27! Together, we’ll explore best practices in CS education and develop project-based curriculum on Replit to get you ready for the Fall semester. Registration will open June 1. Sign up here to join our waitlist!
  • :disguised_face: You can now give your team members nicknames in Replit Teams! This will help teachers organize and view their students using recognizable names.
    Nicknames in action
  • :paintbrush: Collaborate in an artsy way with our new .draw files!
  • :tv: Need help getting started with Teams for Education? Watch the updated Teams for Education Walkthrough.
  • :space_invader: Keep making coding fun with our Kaboom.js game library. (Or take a break from coding entirely and go on a scenic drive through Kaboomland.)
  • :telescope: Discover and share inspiration on Replit Apps!

Let us know all the creative ways you’ve applied these updates in your classrooms by tagging us on Twitter @Replit!
