There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Kathryn Whitney - Marshpoint ElementarySchools will have to start teaching computer science in practically all grade levels within five years. But instead of teachers and administrators panicking about taking expensive courses and earning more certifications during summers or during the school year, code.org offers professional development courses that last just a few days and are free.
Georgia Tech offers the series of free professional development opportunities for Georgia teachers and many Savannah-Chatham teachers have jumped on board.
Fifty teachers participated in the program earlier this year — most were from Garden City and Marshpoint elementary schools and Hesse K-8 school.
