Dan Garcia of UC Berkeley presents the Beauty and Joy of Computing

About the Lectures

Use

The TEALS’ Introduction to CS Course is based on the The Beauty and Joy of Computing by Dan Garcia at UC Berkeley. However, the TEALS' curriculum varies greatly in content and scale, as it is aimed at High School students. This page outlines a series of video lectures from Dan Garcia’s version of this course--however the videos are not applicable in their entirety. The lectures are mapped out below by lecture, subject and time in their entirety.

Some of the lectures (or sections of the lectures) will be useful background for teachers learning the course materials. Some sections of the lectures are useful as instructional tools for classroom instruction. It is notated if the lecture is useful for background knowledge for teachers/volunteers and/or for classroom instruction. The lectures that are directly relevant to lessons or labs are directly referenced below the "Instructor's Notes". The lecture videos are licensed under a Creative Commons License by UC Berkeley.
